    Lets begin ladies. If you have not downloaded already, try youtube for basic steps today. That is a good start

    Hi,

    My download didn't worked. So I tried this website:-
    Zumba Live! And Flat Abs - Fitness Stars Videos

    I worked out 35 mins. Not totally satisfied of my work out. But still a feeling of relax.

    I have a question.. Can I do this video everyday ? or 3 times a week?

    thanks in advance

    Dear a16s,

    can you explain what you mean by not satisfied - was it less intense or was it quite intense that you could not complete it?

    Ideally depending on your metabolism and need for exercises, you can decide.
    I am planning to do all days of the week to get back into the workout routine. After completing this 4 weeks, then I shall change my workout to avoid body getting used to a routine

    Dear pavithra,
    Today I just started with the Zumba for beginners video which teaches the basic steps. Though it looks easy, it takes time to get into the beat. ohh gosh. I think I will practice it again in the evening once so that I become comfortable. Those links are not working, it says video is removed by the uploader. Where else can i try to download? The video which a16s mentioned is fast, only when i know the steps i can think of it.
    Hope to have fun with Zumba and ofcourse loose few inches :)

    Kavitha,

    Thats what me did too. first learn the steps.
    When doing it fast, I dont get all the steps , it sure will come by practice.

    Regarding the links, yeah it looks like it has been removed since I had downloaded it.
    If I come across a working link, will surely post

    hi,

    what I mean by not satisfied.. is I was going to zumba classes starting from feburary and the teacher who taught us is excellent. most of the time I was able to catch the steps by first or second move. But in this video, some steps are unable to understand.. Because video man moves from instructor to the audience in just one step making it difficult to understand the new steps. So confused and stand still doing nothing. My heartrate dropped.

    can you suggest if you have any idea to resolve this..

    Hi
    Just finished 20 minutes of zumba. I picked up some warm up video from youtube for 4 min and followed the link a16 gave. Still stumbling with the steps, might be in few days should feel better, but am sweating full. As a16 said even i feel something missing, because not able to follow and missing the steps frequently :spin i don;t know. any suggestions to improve?
    How was yours pavithra? Where are the other friends?

    I am running behind schedules today. lots of phone calls taking up my time.
    WIll have to do it shortly and then go to pick up my DS.

    I suppose what you and a16s are experiencing is common that not able to pick up all the steps. Neither do I.
    But I am sure even doing strength training, I cannot do all that the beginners do. It takes its time for the flexibility to come

    Lets keep up the motivation to see results
