I'll be honest, I'm bricking it. Not done an hour of cardio for quite some time! I've been exercising every day (for 2.1/2 weeks), but so worried I'm going to be the only red-faced puffer in there :\

Wondered if anyone else has just started it and how they found it as a first timer?

Hi lizbag. Don't worry about it.. If your instructor is anything like mine everyone will be red faced and puffing but you'll be having so much fun you won't care. Have a great time.

I have to agree with LittleSis Zumba is awesome and I have been going for 2 months and I am still red faced and puffing. I would suggest to get a good view of the instructor.
It is so much fun and out of all the classes I do it is my fave

I *think* so. I had a great time actually there, but made a fatal mistake on the way home and bought a can of diet coke with cherry. Later on I developed a splitting headache and went to bed. I got woken up an hour later by my daughter, and the headache was unbelievable. I had to throw up! Felt much better afterwards, but definitely going to take it easier next time, and avoid the fizz!

I did have a fantastic time though Such a positive, sassy way to lose those pounds!

Glad you enjoyed it, we had a different instructor tonight and she was awesome so much more bouncy than our regular one.

Our instructor is amazing - a tiny little bullet of energy! She's portugese too, so she sings along to all the spanish lyrics. Def. looking forward to it a bit more for having talked about it on here!

Lizbag... Sorry you were so ill after. I made a similar mistake a few weeks back. Normally if I'm going to Zumba I have my main meal at lunch time but for what ever reason this day I had it just over an hour before class................ I was so ill after.

On the other hand really pleased you enjoyed yourself

Comforting to hear it's not just me (was very worried I was just too unfit/fat to do it!). It's zumba night tomorrow, and normally I eat with my little girl around 5, but might eat main meal at lunchtime, thanks for the tip

I would suggest you have some fruit or some nuts when your little girl eats, just so you've got some energy reserves... I normally have an apple and/or a few almonds around 5. My classes start at 7.30. Then have something light when I get home.
