I just wanted to let you girls know that I FINALLY got my Zumba kit in the mail on Tuesday, and I've done one workout each day since! Let me tell ya, it is HARD. I really would recommend getting the DVD and learning the steps before going to a class, or at least finding a really beginner class to start with. The workout itself is great, and is really fun. The express workout, which is 20 minutes, left me feeling hot, sweaty and definitely worked my body, but the 20 minutes flew by. They say that Zumba is for anyone and everyone, but I think having done some latin dancing helped me a lot. If you're willing to put in the work, I think it's a great workout that doesn't feel like a workout (DH watched it and was convinced it was a "learn to dance" DVD, not an exercise DVD).

So that's my take on Zumba. Unfortunately, I haven't lost any weight yet. I am the same place I was last week. I know you don't see results immediately, but it sure would be nice if you did!! Oh and the best part is that the abs workout is totally unconventional, and would probably turn your DH on
