A funny thing happened to me, the day
I signed up to local Zumba classes I was offered Zumba DVD’s and Zumba on the
Wii to review. I thought this would be a great chance to compare all three!
Zumba combines Latin and International music with a fun and
effective workout system. With classes and instructors worldwide, anyone can
Join the Party!
Zumba Classes
I was a little bit
worried about attending a class as I hadn’t done exercise is a very long time.
However there was no need to worry, the instructor was great and everyone is concentrated
on the moves that you don’t have time to feel self-conscious.
The classes are an
hour long, with a warm up at the beginning and a cool down at the end. We do
several different dance styles such as reggae and hip hop. The instructor goes through the moves and them
you put them all together.
It’s really fast and
hard work but actually lots of fun. You
have a small gap between each different dance which gives you a chance to catch
your breath and have a drink.
Take plenty of water with
you!
You can find classes
all over the UK. Do a search here
for local ones.

I really enjoyed
the DVD’s they are a great mixture of cardio and toning and you can do it in
the privacy of your own home.
They are easy to
follow and you have the bonus of doing it in your own time, whenever you want.
Ideal for busy women that can’t fit in a class.
I think it’s a
great price for what you get.
The Zumba for the Will
comes with a belt which acts like a motion sensor so you can see if you are
doing it right, which I thought was great.
You can choose from
30 different routines and 9 different dance styles. I love that you can record
your progress and plan a weekly exercise plan.
I found the
instructions easy to follow and got a real buzz when I could see I was doing it
right. You can choose from Beginner, Intermediate and Advance, I’m still on
beginner!
You can even just
learn the steps which is great when you have no co-ordination like me!
Again like the DVD
you have the added bonus of being able to do it whenever you want.
The cheapest I found
the game was for £21.67 on Amazon.
Conclusion
I enjoyed all three
of the Zumba’s, I prefer to go to a class when I can because you really get the
energy from the other people.
The DVD and Wii game
are great if you want to do it at home. If I had to choose I would say the Wii
game just pips it for me.
Happy Zumba!
