Zumba Exhilarate
It's down to $49 on Amazon...the 5 disc set.
I have never done Zumba; but enjoy dance cardio, although have not done much of it lately. Is this worth it? Is it a good set for someone brand new to Zumba? |

it was my first Zumba DVD & first exposure to Zumba. i went to a live class about 8 months later. i like the DVD better only because they teach the live classes slightly differently. i have a thread comparing live vs. DVD here on VF.
you might want to check Costco - the ones in our city still have the set - it was $57 when it first came out, but could have been marked down. i purchased my set from craigslist and it includes 5 discs (i think). i enjoyed 2 of the 5 the most - both led by Beto - i think it's the concert/live one and the chair one. the others in the set aren't bad - just not as fun as when Beto is leading. the girls are good, don't get me wrong, and the music in all of the DVDs is awesome.

There is a lot of love/hate of Exhilarate. It's very flashy (literally and figuratively - but if you have any sensitivity to flashing lights, avoid this one), very showy, and everyone is hamming it up for the camera. The Exhilarate DVD and the Fitness Concert are basically the same workout done to two different settings, that's one less.
That being said - I really like it. Zumba is sexy and I feel sexy doing these although I'm sure I look like:  I do like the newer set better. But it comes with that stupid step and I don't like that workout.

Jeannine...I am late to this party for sure. Costco is just too far at this time. Glad to hear you did enjoy it. Not going to be taking a live class anytime soon, but have bookmarked the thread. You never know...
 Christine...LOL! That's how I look too, but it's only me in the privacy of my own home. You should see me on my Jumpsport! Thanks for the replies. |
