As I would turn up to the opening of an envelope these days (or so says my hubby!) I duly went along togged up for Zumba. The class was great - and really well attended. The dance studios are a far nicer environment for getting fit and losing weight than smelly gyms and Zumba is so much more fun than "Bums n Tums" type of exercise. The lovely Emma from 3 Monkeys (on the right of the photo) who had turned up straight from the big smoke by train minutes before the class started, was surprised at how friendly the class was. No "head to toe perfect" Gym Bunnies - just lovely ladies in comfy trackies dancing their little hearts out. LivingSocial are going to be offering these classes at a reduced price shortly, so check 'em out. The gorgeous girl on the left is Lauren who had just taken the class and was worried how she might look on the photo!!!!
Ive been going to Zumba classes at my local village hall for a couple of weeks now, and I'm really enjoying it. The lady who takes our classes there has reduced from a size 16/18 to a size 10 in just 1 year by doing 3 classes per week - I have high hopes for losing a stone!! By Christmas I may look like Lauren and Emma!!!Many thanks Emma for inviting me along - I am amazed that you can sit in London and after a few clicks on a keyboard can find me out in the sticks!. Ive driven past City Limits many times but never gone in. And many thanks to Lauren for a fun and energetic class, and a tour around your great facilities.

I've been going to Zumba since September, once a week, sometimes twice if I can manage it, and I have dropped 2 dress sizes. I love it, it's so much more fun than going to a gym (tried that, boring,boring). You just can't beat a bit of hip-wiggling!!
Hurray for Zumba!! I freaking love it and I don't think I need to say (again) how much it helped me lost weight.
Argh it's so much fun, wishing I could go to a class immediately, rather than having to wait for Monday!
You had better tell me what you do so I can loose this 10lbs that I have put on over winter when I return to France next week! Sounds like you had fun. Diane
Always good to get a freebie, especially when it'something you like anyway!
I wouldn't let a camera near me after a Zumba session, but if I looked as young and perky as those 2 I wouldn't mind so much.
Perhaps we could Zumba around town? On second thoughts a gentle stroll will do!

Glad you had a great time!
Bee happy x
Have a delicious day!
I know a few people who attend zumba in my local town and they love it! I don't know exactly what is all about, but it sounds interesting. If I went down two dress sizes there wouldn't be anything left so perhaps its something I can consider for the future, for the day I realise I can no longer eat as much cake as I like and not expand!
I keep saying I must try it out but haven't plucked up the courage yet,.
what is zumba diane?
Hey! Get you! That's sounds fantastic!

Sounds like great fun I've heard of this before but not seen anything in our area. Can you do it with ancient clicking knees?
I was refering to my knees!:)
Thanks for the comments, I've never been up top, I've got a thing about heights, but apparently on a clear day, I'm told, you can see York Minster. Good luck with the zumba it sounds fun.
Ooh you have to post a vid of you zumbering!
Did you know that I am coming out to play on saturday????
Very exciting indeed x
There is a Zumba class near to us - what is it you actually do ?plucking up the courage to go !
I've never heard of Zumba before. Sounds like you had a lot of fun and a freebie is always good.
What the heck is Zumba?? Don't think we have it in this benighted part of Cheshire!
Are you going to do a dance off with the DQ? I'm not sure I could manage as my co-ordination is rubbish I can just about manage a grape vine (think I am showing my age now)
It's nice to find another Zumba fan. It is addictive isn't it so anyone who has tried it yet should be warned. :)
I think Zumba is definately the new ' thing' . I know so may people who do that or run . Me ... don't think I dare!!
Have seen it advertised outside our village hall.......... haven't dared venture in though......
Wow!! this is what I need to do Zumba!!!
Well done you! And you always make me smile at your entertaining way with words... ;-) Yes, Zumba seems to be the thing these days, and 'everyone' seems to be doing it... I think you may just have inspire me to... consider it! ;-)
Warm regards,
Helena
Well I am going to have to tell you this. My cousin in law early fifties, started Zumba classes and on Monday she had a mild heart attack mid class, I don't have the full details yet, she is coming out of hospital today as her ticker is back on an even keel.
Slightly scary and I am sure she is a one off. She always likes to be just that little bit different!
I've been contemplating a Zumba class...you may have pushed me right over the edge!!
I love Zumba and glad that you "found" it! So glad that you met Lauren and Emma... amazing how small the world is now.
Bises,

Hooray for Zumba! I love it, but I've found the classes in my area to be pretty expensive so have had to give it up for a while. Glad to hear you enjoyed it x
I've heard of this - it seems to be all the rage at the moment - must look out for a class.
I would love to go to a Zumba class here in Spain ask your ladies to come over & start a class over here.
Sounds like a load of fun!!! Hope you continue to enjoy it. Best of luck. :)
I HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT IT... AFTER YOUR GOOD REVIEWS, I WANT TO FIND OUT WHERE TO GO IN MY TOWN.
