Anyone tried Zumba to lose weight?

I have not tried it but i hear its beyond amazing. i head someone tlking about it the other day and se got the dvds and did a 15-20 minute workout every week day no weekends and in less than a month she had went down close to 1 pans size. i also hear it will kick your butt too. lol. i want the zumba for wii.

I haven't tried it myself either, but have heard many great things about it! I do Wii fit lol can't do much being prego but I'm gonna do the harder stuff and maybe zumba after i have the baby so I can get my "pre babies body" back lol

I havent tried but I have heard lots of good things about it. I personally do the kickboxing class at 24 hour fitness and I LOVE IT!!!

Zumba is awesome my friend is a instructor I am waiting to hear back from my doc to see if i am allowed to sign up but ive been cheating and watching some classes people have recorded on Youtube.com its an awesome workout and YES you lose weight but you HAVE to stick with it. some of the steps are hard but if you keep at it it starts to become more natural. hope i helped some. heres a link i use just for a lil more info for you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5BOEwdEn6g

I went to a Zumba class with a friend and loved it ... Unfortunately the class I went to was too far for me to go all the time. But I got the Zumba game on Wii for x-mas... I tried it out the other day and it takes some getting used to but it's still good.

I have Zumba for my Wii and I LOVE it! That in combo with my WiiFit Plus I have lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks.

@Thaiese -- which one do you have? I have been looking for something but I am confused by the good/bad reviews.

My future mother in law does Zumba and she loves it, she comes home really tired though. I joined a gym and they have "Body Jam" where they mix different styles of dance and its fun and I come out feeling beat up! lol feels good

FMIL bought the Zumba DVDs, and I tried it for the first time ever last night at her house. I can go ahead and say, I'm never...ever-ever... doing it in public. lol I'm so uncordinated that I looked like a fish out of water. I was laughing at myself the whole time, so I imagine that helped burn calories lol. Anyway- I could definitely see Zumba being a great way to lose weight. I was sweating after 10 minutes doing the basic steps, where it just teaches you how to do it.

I do! I do it mondays and its awsome. I haven't lost weight yet though because my diet habits need to greatly improve.

Well I think Im Gonna give it a GO! thanks ladies for all your feedback

Someone on here posted that their FSIL does Zumba and lost a BUTT LOAD of weight!!! (she also said she is really bitchy now... but thats neither here nor there lol)

I tried it once and felt like an idiot! Maybe I would feel better about doing it on the Wii in the privacy of my home than in a class setting.

Sonds to me like we need to start a zumba support group and we all do work outs lol. im afraid to do to much tough. i dont want to loose to much weight and my dress be to big. the lady i took my dress to only does 1 fitting. if it takes any more than that you pay each time

I start my mornings off with a good 20-30 minute Wii Zumba routine. It sure makes me pumped for the rest of the day. I havent seen any weight lose yet, but when I started zumba (the belt was almost too big already, almost too big to fit me..) I love to keep active and its a great way. I think it is helping me tone up though..
