Zumba anyone?



Recommended Posts

I went to the local Y and joined a zumba class, am wondering if anyone has bought the zumba dvd's they advertise on tv? If so, how do you like them?

I have the Zumba for Wii. It moves a bit fast for this old lady, but I will keep trying. Oh and it takes all I got!

I have the whole DVD set and it's good if you have the room and "time" to do it at home! My DH is home all day and I'm not all about doing that in the living room while he laughs! LOL

I LOVED going to the actual zumba classes though, esp. when you go with a friend!!

I was going to join a Zumba class this month but decided to get under 200 before I try it out. I have never been one to exercise so I thought I would lose a few more pounds first. I can't wait to try it out. Everyone talks about how fun it is!

Went to a Zumba class with a friend when I was home, it was so great! It's really just an updated Jazzercise, cooler music & moves but same concept.

I am a Zumba fanatic, did it before I got fat while I was fat and still doing it now 3 kids later, the difference is I am doing it on the Xbox more than attending the classes, Zumba will make you sweat and before you know it an hour went by!

I just bought the DVD set and it will be here next week. I am really looking forward to trying it out. I will have the house to myself most nights as DH works at the office late. And if he is home, he is upstairs on the phone with a business partner.

I figured if I can get the moves down at home, then I can join a class later. I don't like trying to learn in a formal class and being so over my head. This way works best for me.

So doing Zumba in conjunction with my Belly Dancing class I should be well on my way to getting back into the exercise mindset.

I am pre-op and started at 315 but now at 280. Trust me, you can do it. Its the reason I've lost weight like this, in three months. Can't imagine what it would be with having the sleeve, it'd pour off! Go 4 it!

I started doing Zumba at the local rec center at about 8 weeks out... love it!!! DH bought me Zumba for my wii for Christmas and it is great for a workout at home. You can choose between 3 different workout levels and between 20 and 45 minute workouts. and individual songs too..This gives me an opportunity to grab a quick workout even on the busiest of days.

I highly recommend it!

I tried Zumba once. I realize why I only dance when I drink. I haven't given up on it yet though. I start classes 3 days a week in feb. It burns a ton of calories so I think looking like a fool is worth it. I think starting a class from the beginning would be a lot easier then doing the drop in classes where everyone already knows the moves. If you go to Zumba.com there are a ton of success stories with weight loss.

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
