Hello everyone! My birthday is tomorrow (yay) I'll be 19! I was wondering what everyone knows about "Zumba" I was thinking of trying it, I understand that one dvd training is about 20 dollars and I am willing to pay that, if I hear that it actually works.
How many calories does it burn?
Is it worth looking into? I'm interested in losing a lot of weight, I don't have a timeline but I want to get healthier. I think zumba would help, but i'm not about to waste 20-30 dollars if it doesnt! thanks for all your input.
Additional info, added Tuesday August 16 2011, 3:30 pm: Also, I am 155 lbs if that helps. And I wanted to ask what your recommendation would be for an exercise video.. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?

Instead of Zumba I think you should try Winsor pilates, it's easier and you see the results faster, I love it I dropped an inch and half in just one week.

I don't know about the Zumba Training DVD's, as I haven't tried it and I don't know anyone that has. You could always do some research on line about it, to see what everyone else options are. You could also look for some Zumba video's on youtube.com, just to make sure it's something you're interested in. If you like what you're seeing, just give it a shot and buy the DVD. No harm in trying it! [ MummuM's advice column | Ask MummuM A Question ]
