    Question Zumba Fitness Anyone tried?

    Hello think this was on here a while back?
    Im seriously thinking of Zumba the fitness dance craze that loses weight inches and gets us fit in a fun way.
    They are doing a Zumba Bootcamp so I was going to be brave and go but worried I wont be able to do it as Im still heavy and my fitness isnt top

    All thoughts knowlegde or help kindly received Thanks xx

    Ohhh i was thinking the same but im waiting till im slimmer in a way, i have seen them shake there bootie and im thinking if that was me omg lololol, but did you take a look at curves that i sent you, im going there tomoz so im hoping that will do me some good, a woman lost a lot of inches on curves and when i watch zumba they only lost a few inches longer than curves, but i think you should go and have a look.

    what is zumba bootcamp sounds fun tbh, ive only heard of zumba lessons, shame you aint close could of gone together and laughed at each other trying to shake bootie hahahaha, let us know hun xx
