Is Zumba hard for Beginners?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 16, 2011 -- Zumba is the hot new work out that has everyone dancing their way into a new pair of jeans.

Okay maybe not everyone but I can tell you from personal experience that if you try it you just may become addicted to it. Experts say that you have to either burn or cut 3500 calories from your diet to loose one pound. With that being said , there are claims that one hour of Zumba can burn up to 1000 calories .... that's one hour of work out for one thousand calories!!!

That is crazy. So using that math you can attend three Zumba classes in one week and cut only 500 calories from your weekly diet to loose a pound a week. Seems a little extreme but who knows? I can tell you what I do know, Zumba rocks!
I have lost several pounds since I started late last year, but more importantly I have lost inches. My rump is higher and firmer and my pants and shorts fit so much better around my thighs then they used to. Just being comfortable in my pants again is worth going to the once a week class that I attend.

Zumba is based on Latin dance, so thats fun. :) I was pretty nervous before my first class because I really have no rytheam. But once we got started I realized it just didn't matter. My Zumba instructor was very easy to fallow. I just focused on her and no one else, at one point I took a look around and saw that every one was looking only either at themselves or at her so I didn't have to feel self conscious about people watching me.
There are some things that I wish I would have known before I went to my first class. Wear pants that are loose in the leg and go to about mid calf and are light weight ( because you are gonna sweat ) ( visit http://reviewofzumba.com for more clothes ideas) Also I like to wear a forgiving shirt but nothing too baggy, I like to watch myself in the mirror to see if I am getting the moves right so I dont want to look too sloppy or show off all my lovely curves ( I am my own worst critic)

Like I said no one else notices you but you may watch yourself like I do and if you are as rough on yourself as I am on me then this is your heads up.

Some of the music that they play at Zumba can be offensive, okay no its totally offensive but I just listen to the beat and watch my instructor ... I figure I can use the brain bleach when I get home ( reminds me I need to check my daughters ipod)
Oh another mistake I made during my first couple of classes is I wore my cross trainers ... no good, they have too much traction so now I wear my tennis shoes ( actually for tennis ) until I can get my fancy new zumba shoes.

That's all I have - I hope you will give this a try, it really is so fantastic and at the end of the hour when you realize how hard you just worked you feel like a warrior!
