I love Zumba. This is my Christmas present to myself. I just bought it. Kind of like Beachbody checking out, though - lots of offers.

Thanks!

I ordered Saturday night. I told my husband it was my gift to myself for Christmas. I'm looking forward to a whole new crop of workouts for the new year to keep things fresh and the weight loss moving!

Okay - I got these and Zumba Max, which was an add on workout that was marketed as a toning work out, but to my pleasant surprise, it's another higher intensity Zumba workout.

I'm previewing all of these, and I think my favorites are going to be Zumba Max and Super Cardio Dance. The step workout looks pretty low intermediate for step. (I'll know more once I do it - maybe it's one of those sneaky ones). Kass is adorable as is Ricardo in Super Cardio Dance. Was Ricardo the one who did Boogie Dance in Mix? I have a crush on that guy as he looks like he's having so much fun! The bursts are 30 seconds and pretty intense, but doable. These are filmed more like traditional videos - there is some weirdness like they will suddenly go black, white and neon green - but for the most part those bothered by the flashing lights in the Exhilarate series will be okay. I haven't previewed the shorter ones, but I think I'll get a lot of use out of this set. I think these is extremely TA compatible, too.

Some of the songs are on the Zumba Wii Core games. But the moves are different.

Edited to Add - Beto really needs to get new pants. What's with the sweat pants? Ick!! He's built very nicely, but you'd never know in these videos.

Thumbs up

I ordered the Zumba Max and did it today. It was so much fun. This was well worth the add on. I was a sweaty mess and that wasn't giving it 100%! The music and moves are terrific. I can't wait to do the rest of the workouts

Zumba Max does look like it will be a blast! So excited for that one. I previewed the 30 minute one, too and that looks good as well! I think I'm going to be thrilled with this one. Instead of two workouts I'll do consistently, I'll do most of these.

I also ordered UFC Fit, so it should be an interesting rotation in the next few weeks...

You and me both. Ugh. I will wait a year or more to get this.

I did Zumba Max this morning. I thought this would be my favorite, but now I think the Cardio Party one is. The "Cardio Party" has some intervals in it. I think it was more intense. But I did it while I was sick , so maybe it will feel different the next time.

I did the Zumba Step and added on the 20 minute one on Sunday. The "Zumba Step" was pretty low intensity. I did like the 20 minute one.

Yesterday I did the 30 minute Burn and it was good too lol I think it was more intense than the 20 minute one.

What truly surprised me was the ab workout on the 30 Minute Burn. I have already done it twice and I love it!! It is done mostly on a chair, partly standing. My core, "love handles" and lower back were all pleasantly sore. It wasn't pain, just DOMS. The chair portion is like a lot of standing ab work, but done sitting. I felt it differently with the chair.

I have already done more out of this set than I did out of the other two sets Heck, I guess I have done all of them. I think I will use these a lot I was very pleasantly surprised
