ZUMBA!!

Ok forget 30 day shred since I like to dance and my wrists are not all that strong this is so much fun! (Yes I know it may wear off but what a great change of pace).

PLUS its a 20 min blast and seriously I am sweating after 20 minutes. Its so much fun and I am super happy and I think I will do this for awhile;-)

Anyone else doing it?

My parents go to ZUMBA class 3-4 times a week, for 1 1/2 hours each time! 

They LOVE it.  Mom says Dad is not so good with the steps, so he just hops around and makes random motions (like karate chops)    

I am not doing it yet! My sister goes to Zumba and loves it. There is a class on Monday nights in my area and I really want to go. Only thing is I haven't been able to find anyone to go with me. I don't like going to things like that on my own. At least not the first time. If I had someone to go with once then next time I would feel more comfortable showing on my own. In the mean time I go to Boxercise every Tuesday and Thursday night.  

The ladies at my work have a Zumba club, so I may get to try it soon. 

I have friends who go to the classes and they absolutely love it

I keep trying to get them to come try real latin dancing- afterall, my latin band plays out quite often- and we've got an excellent dance instructor -

But they don't want to seem to try real dancing, just zumba   

That said, I had picked up some zumba DVDs a few weeks ago off amazon- as its a good thing to do at home, since I don't have time to go to the classes- only tried the DVDs once so far (   ) but I enjoyed it 

I have been doing it since last November and I adore it!!  I haven't sweat so much in ages! 

I want to try it, there's a class in near my flat. Definitely wil lgive it go everyone I know loves it.

Wouldnt be wonderful if I could stream it and we could hold an online class LOL
Now we all would be accountable huh?

I aim to do this 3 times a week realistically and walk at least 3 as well...Now remembering to take my vitamin, that is a whole other can of worms

Are there home DVDs out there for this?  I was looking on amazon awhile back because it looked interesting, but everything was NTSC format (or whatever that is in the US) - nothing in PAL and our DVD player doesn't do both. 

I just did it for today YAY
Mrs. R I downloaded mine but I am sure there is a DVD

That was I found ;-)

It is fun to dance even though I am SO glad no one can see me b/c I look like a totally numnut doing latin dance moves 

Yeah, that's Region 1/NTSC (not PAL). 

Will have to investigate other resources, downloading, etc further. 

OMG, I have no coordination for this!!!!!!!!!  I think my work out might be from my lack of coordination making me die laughing in the back.

LOL oh it is FUNNY!
Mrs. R - I can help ya want - just ask ;-)

The one I have is 60 min intro/basic to teach the moves

Then there is a 20 min just do it one 

I ordered this on Saturday night am looking forward to getting it.

Enjoy MeShell!!! 

Our local salsa dancing teacher started teaching zumba (borrowed my DVDs!) because its so popular- Its another outlet for her to get some money and start to drag students to salsa dance class as well.
