Has anyone tried this new zumba class thing? I'm going tonight for the first time. I've heard its really fun and you don't feel like you're exercising. Has anyones else tried it? I've been to aerobics and spinning classes in the past but never a dance class, don't have the best co-ordination ha! 😉
I havent tried it yet- keep thinking about it- a woman at my keep fit class raves about it- let us know how you get on

My partner has tried it, but I think she found it just a bit too energetic for her and preferred the more slowly paced exercise classes.
Hi coffeemesister,
I go to Zumba on a regular basis and absolutely love it 🙂
Our classes are a mix of latin salsa, urban funk, greek and indian style belly dancing/excercise.
I have done aerobics, step and many other styles (but never dancing) over the years and am finding Zumba a very effective way of toning my arms, torso, legs and buttocks. It certainly raises the heart rate.
I suggest you take plenty of water to drink and a small hand towel to mop your brow.!!!!!
The music alone makes you feel good. There are all ages and levels of fitness in our class and everyone just lets go of their inhibitions and "shimmies", belly rotates and "Zumba thrusts" along with the music.
I can not recommend it enough.:D
I've just bought Zumba for the WII - I will report back on how effective it is:)
