Zumba Is A Great Workout!
I've decided to start trying to take a Zumba class 3 or 4 times a week. My goal is for 4 times, but I'll be happy with 3. I tried my first Zumba class a few months ago and liked it. I wore a heart monitor that counts calories one class and burned 1000 in the one hour class. That's insane! I know that to burn fat you must do cardio, and I think that Zumba is great cardio, a huge calorie burner, and is fun. The fun dance aspect of it keeps me moving even if I feel like quiting, and I'm dripping sweat after the first 15 minutes (gross, but health). 
I will also toss in a belly dance class here and there. There's a class that I take every other Tuesday, and another no Sundays.
, and while I burned calories it was nothing close to 1,000. That is awesome. Our local Y has started offering them, and now I am curious.
