Zumba?



Recommended Posts

Was just wondering if anyone else has fallen in love with zumba. Im 120lbs down since my RNY. I started zumba- self conscious- standing in the back. I've fallen in love. Its my one hour to forget life and just dance. My goal is to become a zumba certified instructor in 2014. If you have t tried it- I highly recommend it. Hopefully you'll love it and fall in love with this exercise as much as I have!

I'm planning to take a class after surgery. How long did you wait after surgery before starting?

I believe about 6 weeks. I was cleared after 4 but was nervous about the jumping etc so i waited longer. The best thing about zumba is you can go at your own speed and level. If you cant do a move you improvise!! So fun and non judgmental

Zumba is only great when you have a skilled instructor with an amazing playlist - same goes with any other group fitness class such as spinning and kickboxing. I love them all with the right instructor and music (: of course a great energized groups makes a huge difference too!!

New jewel,

zumba is awesome. I go to parties almost every month. Going to one this Saturday! Great hour to let the stress go and enjoy yourself!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
