Hi,
I went to the Zumba class because I read about how much fun it is supposed to be. My gym offered the class for the new year. Dancing was nice but nothing particularly difficult or challenging. It's set to primarily Latin music (our instructor also threw in some hip hop). The moves are Latin dance with some squats, leg raises, bounce hopping thrown in to get the heart rate up. You just follow along -- its not complicated if you've had any dance training.

My reaction to this class is in comparison to how I felt when I took my first Nia and Turbo Kickboxing class -- both of which I loved!!! I'm trying to do these classes before I get to to the stages that include interval training/bodyweight matix because I'm not sure I'll want to do them then.
