I got sucked into an infomercial on Zumba but it looks like a great form of exercise but definitely a skill that one would advance in over time. Just wondering if anyone out there has tried it and if anyone had thoughts on it.

Thanks!

Hello there,

I am a self proclaimed "Zumbaholic," I do Zumba at my local YMCA...LOOOVVVE IT and I also ordered the DVD set last fall. I found the dvd set to be a little difficult to follow, they seem to move a bit fast for me. I much rather go to the Y and take my classes.

Honestly, my set of Zumba dvd's are sitting in my living room collecting dust. I am hoping that I can work my way up TO the dvd's next year.

It's really fun! I LOVE it! You find ppl of all types in the class and skill level. I also got it on the Wii, and it's great fun too, since you can select which skill level you are.

Go for it, you won't regret it.

I love Zumba. I ordered the tapes too just so I can mainly get the toning with the sticks that the class does not do. I am getting a wii, so may the wii one as well and give my DVD's as a gift except the toning. I find most DVD's you have to work up to them. Hang in there and do the rate you can do until you can pick it up.

I would love to do Zumba, I am afraid I will be the only fat lady there. Is it hard and is it making a difference in your weight loss. Does it get the Cardio up? I really need to be sure I do the right exercises for me and I do Cardio every day. Anyway, peoples thoughts on what they are doing would be great. I used to love Tae Bo. LOL

I keep seeing them on TV, but haven't bought them YET. My gym does have a Zumba class, but it's only offered during the morning which makes it impossible for me to attend. I think I might hold off a little longer and once I hit the 50lb. weight loss goal I have (which is only about 10 lbs. away), I may buy it as a Reward to myself.

Absolutely! The gym I use has a login system that tracks all your activity and how many calories based on your weight, etc (you do a full physical when you join that is entered in the computer--you are given a personal ID number to login when you go). For the hour long Zumba class, I burn a 1000 calories! You absolutely will not be the only fat lady there. In fact, in my class, you see more, fat than thin because the key to being consistent in exercise (at least for me) is finding something you enjoy. Most of us are having such a good time, the hour passes by and trust we are sweating--I sweat harder in Zumba than I did the step aerobics class for some reason. I use to Taebo too!

I do Zumba 2x a week at my Curves site. One night is 30 minutes that includes the curves circuit machines and the other is 60 minutes of all Zumba. I LOVE IT and it is an awesome cardio workout! I mainly joined at Curves to get the hang of it until I get a little more comfortable with the moves, I attended a class at a gym but it was all "skinny minnies" and I felt much to intimidated by it all.

I ♥ zumba! I haven't been since I had my surgery but I used to go religiously before. After the new year I will definitely start back up. It's an awesome workout. Going to a class is 10 x better then doing the dvd's. I bought the dvds like 4 yrs ago and never used them.

You should try it out!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
