I would recommend both. The class makes you more accoutable because sometimes as you make friends they make sure you come again. But the dvd will be helpful after a long day and you just cant make it to excercise. Standard DVD should cost you 10-20 dollars (target or walmart). The class I take at the Community Center is a whopping 4 dollars...lol. So its worth it for 2 days a week...thats 384.00 a year I have spent more on a purse in one setting. Its very worth it. Let us know how it turns out! Good Luck.

Hi Sorors,

I'm not new but I've been away for like 'forever' so its just like being brand new. I'm trying to get back into the weight loss and exercise but find it very hard to get motivated most days. I'm interested in this Zumba exercise class and wondered if anyone has done it before, and if so was it an actual class or DVD. And most importantly did you enjoy it? I need something that's going to make me want to come back for more because I think of my current gym and the desire to be there just isn't there.

Thanks!

Sandra

Good Evening Sorors!!!

I am 34 years old and I reside in Odenton, MD. I am originally from Delaware but I have been in Maryland 8yrs now. What to say, what to say? I am finally tired and have decided to LET IT GO!!! I have been a member of this site for a year but I have not taking advantage of all of the benefits from this site. I realize I can't do it alone anymore. I hope to make a few buddies for inspiration and support.

I am 55 (56 in June) and have been married 30 years (31 on Income Tax Day, Apr. 15). We have one daughter who is 27 and works in Maryland. I live in Charlotte, NC. I recently retired after 32 years in education but I am busier than ever. I pledged in 1975 (I won’t name my school yet because until I demonstrate some success on my journey I want to remain a little anonymous!) My line name was “Lady Busy Body” and I was #1 on my line of 5 (Was that TMI for someone who wants to keep her anonymity?)

Enough about me! Hope to see you on the site again soon. Best to all of you in your endeavors!
