Zumba

[Lusignan]

Has anyone tried Zumba? I have tried the beginers tape twice, but man the one thing I have noticed is I am about as white as they come. This white girl can't shake her hips like those ladies on Zumba and if I actually do I think it will be because I just broke my hip or tore something.

I looks really fun and I think I might be able to get the hang of it, I was looking for something to mix up my Cathe workouts every once in a while.

I used to do Tai Bo, but Billy is just all over the place for me and doesn't really get my heart rate up at all. So I thought I would try Zumba, what do you all think?

I love zumba! I haven't done a dvd, but I've taken live classes and both times it was great fun. I did have moments when I felt like I had two left feet, but I noticed that most people just keep going. I don't feel like it is the most killer of cardio workouts, but the fun factor is high.

I like that zumba means let's party!

If Billy Blanks didn't get your heart rate up, maybe you were using one of his later workouts. You might try Get Ripped Advanced, Workout 1 or his Ultimate Lower Body (compilation). They are calorie burners and tough! However, I usually do my own thing for his warm ups though--his tend to be a little on the speedy side and have some moves that aren't advisable (full neck rolls is one example).

Chocolate IS the answer, regardless of the question.
