Love the excitment of ya'll! woo hoo

Think about all the people not in on the fun! LOL

ME!!!!!!!

Stilll loving it! Still going 2 nights a week...sometimes 3! Unfortunately my favorite instructor is taking the summer off but she promises to return in the fall!! So in June I will have to find another class to attend....but I'm sure that won't be a problem!

What a great workout!

Just got back from my class, was a goodie. I love it!

I looove zumba! I got mine off Amazon for pretty decent price. I just do the 20 min version a few times a week. I used to do an hour 3 times a week but stopped that for a while... need to build back up to that but it can be so hard!! Still fun tho :P

Gwen, if you wanting the live class go to Zumba.com and look under find instructor. type in zipcode and they should pop up.

I just the new exhilarate DVD's and they look very interesting. Haven't watched or done yet but reading up on it is peeking my interest.

I posted this in my journal and thought I'd post here too!!!

These were taken today after Zumba.









I wish you could see the expression on the gals face behind me---it was like a holy shit look at those arms .

Not to shabby for almost 51.

Gosh I love Zumba.

You look great! Now what do you do for those arms? Has to be more then just Zumba!

Also love the belt, That is one I would enjoy wearing at Zumba

Thanks about the belt. I have a few different ones depending on my mood. Yesterday I took about 1/2 dozen coin scarves to class--passed them out randomly to people and they had to wear them during class. They had a blast. It's fun to do. All the coins are tinkling and jinkling--and holy moly are the coins ringing when we do some fast hip shaking and shimmying It's a riot and the ladies LOVE it. Even the guys thought it was fun that the ladies were having so much fin with it. I think that's going to become a regular thing on Sat mornings. No one knows who will get a magic scarf!!!

Someone else asked me this. This is what I posted in my journal.

Well you LOOK great! good Job!

Ah, I'm still zumba-ing! The kids will be home after this week so I won't be able to exercise my current way, so I gave up 2 personal training spots with pilates this summer but I won't give up zumba! I'll take them to work weights this summer on my pilates days, and leave them home to sleep in twice a week on my zumba days. Then, one or two zumbas are available on the weekends.

I bought the latest DVDs but haven't used them yet since I think the classes are so much more fun, but wanted them just in case my summer schedule goes awry.

CnmLisa - you do look awesome! I'm 48 and you are giving me hope and inspiration!

I love Zumba! My MIL just got the new DVDs and she loves it too! She does 2 DVDS a day!!! I just bought Zumba Party for the wii and it's soooo much fun! I can do about a hour n a half and the time FLIES!!! According to my calorie app Iam burning almost 500 calories!!! oh yeah!!

Okay, for the total exercise novice....Can someone explain to me what "planks" are? Not familiar with this term at all.....

Planks are the form used for pushups from the toes. Hands on floor shoulder width apart, feet together with toes on floor. Body is straight from feet to shoulders.

hey try the toning DVD from the new exhileration set. Don't forget to do the santeo workout. Look what you can do with a chair! woo hoo!
