Hi new to this team but not to SP. I just became a big fan of Zumba and have done my first 20 minute workout. What a blast!!! I hope to have a lot of fun here!

Hi. I'm new to Zumba but not to SP. I was feeling like I needed a change in my workout, as I get bored easy and Zumba looked so fun that I ordered the dvd's. I live in a small town and couldn't find Zumba nearby that worked with my schedule so I'm working out at home. My zumba dvd's just came today so I did the basic to learn the moves and then did the 20 min express workout. I found some of the moves challenging but feel that I will get it over time. I have been doing Bollywood dance workouts and hip hop abs before this. I have to say, the zumba workout was fun and the 20 min was not as hard as I thought it would be...I tend to have 2 left feet sometimes.

Hi- new to this website and just started zumba last week. Decided that going to the gym just wasn't enough for me- turns out I do much better in a "class" setting. First zumba was 20/20/20- that was intense and I didn't know what to expect. Do most places have different types of zumba classes? Is there a better one to start with?

I have been doing the DVD's from Zumbafitness.com for about 4 months now and absolutely love them. Some of the moves are a little hard to pick, but you evidently get them or some variation and I love the results! Good Luck to you.

Amazon carries the dvds too. Perhaps they'll have a beginning one there.

I watched several routines on You Tube. I know my attempt will be a sorry sight! I have not ordered the expensive set. I'll look for one beginner's dvd. Any ideas?

Hi! I'm Amy. I'm new to Zumba and to the team. I ordered the Zumba dvds online and have gone through the basic program 4x now. I have been doing this with my stepdaughter (9 yrs old) for the past week as a way to spend time together this summer dancing. It's a great workout and I love it!

I'll call Target. They usually carry exercise dvds. I don't want to wait for ordering online. I bought my 30 Day Shred last year from Target.
