Zumba DVD Set

Hi,

I used to go to Zumba classes and loved it but I'm now so busy that I no longer have time. I used to love doing the routines to current music and the sexier style dance moves :o

I used to do the Wii Zumba but by Wii is no longer working and I only used it for dance or fitness games so won't be looking at replacing it. I did love the Wii Zumba though!

I'm wanting to get back into it by doing it at home but couldn't find any decent YouTube videos.

I'm thinking about buying the DVD sets or Zumba Exhilarate that ar often advertised on TV but off eBay.

Have any of you bought these and if so are they good? Do you still get the Zumba high from them?

    Loved Zumba
    Bought exhilarate and did not like it at all. Had to play it over and over to get the moves


    I think it is the class atmosphere that makes zumba fun- all at my class are mad as baskets

    Used Wii consoles are very cheap,on Ebay and using MSE's local Ebay search would save postage costs.

    Zumba is very much a group activity where everyone can enjoy it together. I cant see how it could be fun at all on your own not to mention you would need quite a bit of room to move around smoothly. There is a Zumba website which lists classes local to you, perhaps an evening or weekend class would suit you better?

    I'm already slim and I eat exceptionally healthily 90% of the time. I also walk regularly outdoors and take the stairs. I do Zumba because it's fun and I enjoy it. End of story.

    Thanks but I'm working 3 jobs at the moment, including evenings and weekends. I really can't attend classes for a good few months at least.

    I've been missing it and to be completely honest, I really don't mind doing it at home, I've got lots of space and never missed the group when I was doing Wii Zumba. It's more the routines and music I enjoy.

    I can appreciate that for lots of people it's the community feel of it that makes it fun for them.

    Just get Davina's dvd. The best out there for females wanting to tone up a bit, so they say.
