Anyone try Zumba on DVD?

Chelz

I took Zumba at the gym and loved it!  (before baby)  We've since moved and I don't have the time or money for a gym membership now, so I was thinking of trying it on DVD.  I know I loved the class, having the motivation with a group of people, plus the one instructor was great (a different instructor, not so much)....

but, outside of my own personal motivation, I was wondering about doing fitness in my living room with a 14 month old walking around.... I saw a post about ... is it the 30-day shred?  Is that a DVD?

Honestly, I don't like the old DVDs. They're really slow compared to a class. If you know the music, you can kind of make up your own or watch videos on youtube for some moves. I haven't tried the new DVD set, but I really want to!

Some current songs we use:

• Wiggle Wiggle (Just a little bit)
• Mueve la cadera
• DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love-Usher
• Blowin' Up-Ke$ha
• Que Te Pica
• Spice World-Spice Girls (don't know how the instructor did this one, but it worked and it was a total flashback)
• Physical-Glee version (this was a cool-down, but it was fun!)
• Song with lyrics, "Legs up beside my face so you can see my ace/eyes" I'm still trying to find out the name of this song.
• Waka Waka-Shakira (Not my fave, but it works)

I have one from years ago - it's not as exciting as the class.  But, I also have the Wii Zumba game and it is fun.

I've never tried Zumba personally but with exercise a class is always more fun to me than a DVD. But it is a trade off, because staying home is cheaper and more convenient (especially w kids) so thats why I have done DVDs lately. The 30 day shred is a Jillian Michaels DVD (Biggest Loser) that a lot of people on the Bump talk about. I also like her newer DVD, Ripped in 30, and am doing the 30 days now. You can read reviews on Amazon. It is a mix of strength training, cardio, and and in 25 minutes. There are multiple levels within each DVD that get progressively harder and help prevent boredom.

my niece has it and it's ok.  i have the ps3 move version of zumba and like it. it really makes you shake your booty.

but not as much fun as a class. but if you are shy like me with two left feet. maybe the video is for you
