Zumba Exhilarate or Incredible Results?

Hi all,
I'm late to the Zumba party. Until now, I haven't tried Zumba because I don't really like Latin music (the horror! I know. ).
But, I saw the Incredible Slimdown at a store for 20$ and I picked it up.

I was surprised that I really liked the workout, I got my heart rate up with zero impact (yay!), and the instructors and cueing were right on.

Plus, some of the songs were more modern-sounding (like dance music), so the music didn't bother me too much.

Since I can no longer do impact cardio (TA cardio was my mainstay), I'm looking to get more Zumba workouts.

I'm totally new to Zumba, should I get the Exhilarate set or the Deluxe Incredible Results?

Would love opinions. Thanks!

I'd double check the videos in Incredible Results. If I remember right, there are some duplications with Incredible Slim Down (just verified it). Exhilarate is one of my all time favs, but there were a lot of complaints about the flashing lights, etc. It's a pretty slick set, meaning that it's much more staged than Incredible results, but I like that.

Thanks for this! I noticed the duplications, which is why I would opt for the deluxe version (to get more unique DVDs) - I wonder if the step platform is fun.

Edited to add: Are these the two main DVD sets? Exhilarate and Incredible Results? Or are there others I should include in my comparison?

Suzie, I'm curious about what store you got it for $20?! As I think we live in the same city.

There is another Zumba system that came before the Exhilarate set, called "Total Body Transformation System" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBm0ZHE8NOg

I agree about so many duplicates after the Incredible Results set. There is also the Tone Up Plus set, which contains several workout from the Incredible Results set, but none from the Incredible Slimdown set (so you would not get duplicates with this one), it also has 2 completely new toning workouts for the Upper Body using the Zumba sticks (2.5 lbs maracas included), but it doesn't contain any of the Zumba Step workouts. HTH

Thanks! I didn't realize we were in the same city! I actually went to Ottawa last week and picked it up at Showcase at the Saint Laurent mall. It's also available online: https://www.shopatshowcasecanada.com...own-dvd-system

You're welcome! Oh, I thought you bought it locally! Wish we had a Showcase near by! Did you decide what set to get? I also wanted to mention that the Zumba Tone Up Plus has three completely new workouts and not two as I mentioned before, I forgot about "Sentao" a Total Body resistance workout using the chair.

I ended up getting the Incredible Results deluxe to get the step and the workouts with the step including the glute and ab one.
Im really happy with it! I find the music better in this one than Exhilarate and the two male instructors (forgot their names, not Beto) are fantastic! Haven't tried the Beto workouts yet!
I figured I can use the step for the new Jessica Smiths as well!
I'm interested in those toning workouts you mentioned too!

That's great, I'm glad to hear you're loving the set! I love the music too. The one from the 20 min. workout is called Nick and the one from the Global and Latin Burst I think is Steve. The bad thing is that you'd get some repeats again from the Tone Up Plus set, here are the workouts included:

1- Toning 101 + 15 Minute Amazing Abs (as Incredible Results)
2- Target and Tone: Shoulder/Back & Biceps/Triceps (New, around 30 min. each, using the maracas)
3- Sentao (New, total body workout with the chair, around 35-40 min.)
4- 30 Minute Burn (live class with Gina Grant, as Incredible Results)
5- Fitness Concert (around an hour, as Exhilarate).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgP_oTsCYFs

I just checked the Showcase site, I already have the Slimdown set, but I see they have the Zumba 15 Day Fit set for 14.99 (it was 39.99), too bad it is already sold out online, as the only workout from that set I've is Zumba Max, it seems like all the other workouts are new. I'd love to find a preview of that one.
