[quote=zumbamama][quote=Anonymous]I tried it a few years back and thought it was fun but not a very challenging workout. It's good for light workout days.[/quote] The thing with Zumba is, the intensity level can be increased/decreased according to your capability/comfort level. The more core energy you put into each move, the harder the workout. The harder you work your arms, the more exaggerated your moves, the more challenging it becomes. For me, it was challenging enough to lose 50 pounds. But, intensity level can also depend on the instructor and class setting. You might try different classes, because one may be super-high impact while one across town may be lower. I once auditioned at a place that said I was too high impact for their demographic and they went with someone slower paced. Some classes are heavy on the super fast samba (like mine), and some have none at all. It just all depends on your instructor and how hard you work yourself...kind of like how there are so many styles of yoga, from relaxing and restorative to power yoga, but in any multi-level class, you have to modify the workout to suit your fitness level.[/quote]
