  • I'm too much of a chicken to go to a class, but everyone says its great. Was thinking of getting it on the wii or ps3 - anyone here recommend either?
  • Actually, just found out they aren't out until March and I need to get my backside into gear before then! Might just dance around my front room instead, or stop being a chicken and go to a class, lol
  • Zumba is brilliant!! i go to 2-3 classes a week- think i may be addicted, but its so much fun that i smile the whole way through. and the sweat makes me know i am doing a hard workout.

    I've started Zumba and think its great too. Only done 2 classes and there was a week in between so not seen any results yet. although that and eating better have meant fitting into jeans i couldnt at the start of the year :)

    Will check it out for the games consoles.

    It says that an average class burns between 500-800 calories depending on how active you are and eating habits.
    If I can lose inch loss rather than weight loss then thats great (eventhough I'm not happy at 11stone!!):D

    I am a fully fledged Zumba addict! Love it so much :) In my very first class, the instructor put on the Black eyed peas "Get the Party started" track, and that was me hooked. Our class is such a warm and friendly wee bunch not the usual cliquey gym bunny types, lol! I have made some really good friends as well as losing a bit of wobbles.
    One girl wears one of those heart monitor thingys, and after one class it said she had burned 980 calories :O That is my incentive to throw myself literally into the music and just shimmy everything that moves hehe! Soooooo can't wait on it coming out on the Wii :)

  • I have the kinect version of the game too, only played it once but it was fab. I'm so uncoordinated tho, I'm sure I look ridiculous playing it lol I really need to use it a bit more actually, but I've stepped my gym sessions up slightly and am not quite up to exercising on my off days. I will tomorrow tho!
    I have spread my dreams under your feet;
    Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
  • i decided to try a class- booked in for tuesday night- as every1 raving about it :)
