5knights3maidens Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Yes, that's what I want to do. Anyone else do this? I think I will save my money and buy dvd's instead of joining a class. My 7yr. old and I were watching the infomercial and we were dancing away...even though I can't dance. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melik Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Go try at least one class. I don't' think I'd be as motivated to keep it up on my own. Part of the fun is all the ladies doing it together! You will love it! Meli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyWImom Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 :iagree: I thought about the dvd's before I took some classes at the Y. They are so much fun when you do them with a group, and everyone is really supportive. I had some foot issues after a few classes, and hung out with three ladies who were in there 70's-they inspired me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwickimom Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Got the DVDS because there is NO WAY I am doing that stuff in front of other humans :D I LOVE it and do it all the time. It rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i.love.lucy Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 My dd is mortified that I want these videos and will be salsa-ing around the house. I just have to get the funds and nerve together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN Mama Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi. My name is Laura and I cannot dance. :blush: I have zero coordination. Not only that, but I hate to exercise and really can't stand sweating. I was bullied into taking a zumba class at the Y (where I worked for seven years). Not only did I not want to workout, but I for sure didn't want to look like a fool in front of the members I took care of daily. Well, let's just say that I now own a pair of zumba shoes. :D I'm addicted. Sad thing is, I haven't been able to make it to classes lately. I have never sweated so much in my life, nor have I ever had so much fun exercising. LOVE me some Zumba! Dh just bought zumba for the Xbox Kinect for me so that I can still get in a workout without going to the Y, but it is so much more fun in a live class. Not only is it more fun, but I would never dream of walking out in the middle of an hour long class. Much easier to call it quits when I think I can't give anymore- when I'm in my home. Alone.

kewb Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I have zumba dance for the Wii (although, my favorite is the cardio boxing because I can do that). It is a lot of fun and I work up a sweat in places I did not know I could sweat. I have no coordination, I have yet to successfully manage my hands and grapevine feet at the same time, but I have mastered the salsa step. I would take a class if I had the $$. I hear it is a lot of fun in some of those groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedmom4 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I know I look like a complete fool in Zumba class but I don't care. It's so much fun! Elise in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 If cost is an issue, check local churches. Mine does a HUGE Zumba class that's paid on a "Free will offering" basis, and includes $1/night child care. Unfortunately, my knees and hips won't take it.

FriedClams Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I bought the dvds - SUPER FUN. I highly recommend it. i don't do it enough, but when I do it's really fun and I really enjoy it! I think I may Zumba today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5knights3maidens Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Thanks for all your input! I am going to check into local churches and also put away some money. I think I may go check the thrift store and/or library for 'Sweatin' to the Oldies' while I wait for the Zumba dvd's. I used to do STTO and I loved it. Have a great day everyone!!

TN Mama Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Check www.zumba.com for the places that offer zumba in your area. I am pretty sure you can check by zip code. Several fitness centers have classes, but there are also classes at community centers, etc. Many use a punch card system, so your classes can come out to between $2-$5/class.

5knights3maidens Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 I found 3 places. 2 are about 5 minutes away, each! I would have never thought. Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
