Zumba Fitness Total Body Transformation DVD Review and Giveaway

I LOVE doing Zumba. I first discovered it a couple of years ago when my friend Amy invited me to come to her class and workout. I had been down on myself and looking for a way to rejuvenate the woman in me. It was a time in my life when I was trying to find ME, so I reached out and joined a class of other like minded ladies looking for a way to connect, make friends, and work out.

At first, I was very intimidated doing Zumba, but as I looked around the class and saw women in their 60′s and 70′s doing Zumba, I soon relaxed and joined in the fun. I get really aggravated with women who call Zumba “dirty dancing”. That is not what it is. It is a Latin form of dancing that involves moving every muscle in your body. Your hips shake, your shoulders shimmy, and your tummy tucks. If that is Dirty Dancing–well you get my point. Zumba is FUN and not dirty at all!

Since moving up here, I have yet to join a class. There is one at the local fitness center that I have been tempted to join but Stephen did not want me to spend the money to join the class so I reached out and found a way to do Zumba at home. It offers me the same results as what I would get at the class, except I don’t have others to do it with. I am doing it in the privacy of my own home.

I love the Zumba Fitness at home!

I use my Zumba kit every morning. It takes only 20 minutes and there are several different routines to choose from. One day you can do cardio and the next you can do toning and sculpting. Beto, the Zumba instructor, is great at getting you involved and keeping you going.

If you have never done Zumba before, NO FEAR! There is a dvd with basic Zumba movements. It walks you through each move going step by step and then speeding it up until you master the step.

There is also a book included that gives you a jumpstart diet you can do while doing Zumba — but honestly, Zumba in itself with eating moderately is perfect. You can burn anywhere from 700-1,000 calories in one hour of Zumba! Score!

Watch this video for more information on Zumba. If I can do it — so can You!!

The Complete Zumba Kit sells for $49.99-$59.99 through Amazon, or you can basically purchase them anywhere nowadays. It is a great investment if you want a good, thorough workout.
