Style Name: Zumba Fitness Exhilarate Body Shaping 7 DVD Weight Loss Cardio SystemVerified Purchase

I bought this because I didn't have the free time to actually go to a class and I kept hearing how much fun Zumba was. I purchased this set and was so excited, but honestly, it kind of sucked. It was not as fun as everyone was saying and a lot of people told me that the DVDs are nothing like the actual in person classes. I think I paid about $60 for this set so I did end up using it for 2 weeks. I did this everyday for two weeks! I could feel the difference just slightly but it hardly did anything for me. Most of the music in this dvd set was salsa music, it was just not fun and there was never much going on. I ended up stopping and I haven't done Zumba since.

Honestly, if you're looking for a good fun workout with dancing, check out the Fitness Marshall on youtube. He's loads of fun and when I stick with it I notice I lose weight a lot quicker with him.

Style Name: Zumba Fitness Exhilarate Body Shaping 7 DVD Weight Loss Cardio SystemVerified Purchase

I was in my best shape ever when I was going out dancing once or twice a week (in my late 20s)--lots of salsa and belly-dance moves that work the abs without crunches that put you on the floor and kill your neck and back. Times have changed, and so has my figure since I quit dancing. I resisted buying into the Zumba craze for while, ever since I saw the commercial once at 3:00 a.m. for the original set. I hesitated, first because everything looks great on a 3 a.m. infomercial; I figured it was the latest infomercial fitness fad. I've been disappointed by lots of work-outs that promise "dance moves you can take to the club" and then turn out to be nothing but club outfits, generic music, and aerobic exercise moves that would get you laughed out of a club. Then I read the reviews, and it seemed like everyone who had the set started out in the classes first. I've never been to a Zumba class and never wanted to work out in a room full of strangers--thus my reason for buying a home workout set to begin with. The price was also intimidating, and way more than I've ever paid for any of the other "dance party" workouts that found their way into a yard sale. Still, I want to get back into the shape I was happy with, and there were a lot of positive reviews, so I went for it. I did my first workout last night, with the Activate disc, and was sweating immediately. At first I saw a couple aerobics-style moves and thought "here we go again." But those were few, and were incorporated well into the dance routine. Mostly there was actual, genuine, hip-swinging, shimmying, dancing--I had a little trouble keeping up. I can see just how rusty I've gotten, and I'll have to work up to finishing the whole disc. Still, time flew by way faster than it does on the treadmill, and this was a lot more fun. I was absolutely sweating more, and my whole body knew I'd been working, but I barely noticed because it felt like dancing and not working out. Some of the moves can be a little tricky, especially when you're trying to keep up with pros. When I got tripped up trying to follow the instructors, I just looked away from them and danced with the music--keeping hips and pelvis in motion. When I needed to catch my breath I just stood front and did hip circles till I could pick up the pace again. I still think the price is a little steep--especially since the little foam plugs that hold the discs in place had already popped off when I got it (it was new and sealed.) But they can be stuck back down with a dot of glue, so no big deal--minus 1 star for price and packaging. The picture and sound quality is very good, and the music is actually enjoyable--not like canned "exercise music" that comes with most workout DVDs. Some of the verbal exchange between the instructors comes off phony (and a little cheesy), but overall the mood during the workouts is light and fun. I'm not a fitness guru, have been in a gym once in my life (hated it), and am not using Zumba as a warm-up for, or addition to, any other exercise routine. Right now, this new Zumba series is my only workout since my treadmill needs maintenance. I've read a lot of reviews for fitness DVDs, equipment, and supplements, and they say things like "I use this every day, walk 5 miles, do free weights combined with cardio, cut out all soda and junk food, and I've lost 6 pounds!" To me, those reviews aren't very helpful: first, a person working out that much is already in shape and has little or no weight to lose. Second, when you make that many lifestyle changes at once, results of SOME kind are inevitable--and can't be credited to anything specific. Did the workout do it, or the lack of candy bars and soda? To really determine how well this routine works for me, I'm going to do Zumba and not change anything else for now. (I already eat mostly low-carb, but I cheat sometimes.) I'll give it a few weeks, see what results I get, and then update.

UPDATE 6/16/2011: It's been 2 weeks today since I tried Zumba for the first time. I haven't changed my eating habits; I eat exactly as I did before (including 6 oz of mint cookie crunch ice cream almost daily), and I'm not taking any diet pills. I've done the Step by Step disc once, and then only the Activate disc so far. To date I've lost 7.5 pounds, and it isn't water weight--it doesn't fluctuate or pile right back on as soon as I eat solid food. The only explanation is that I'm burning more calories than I'm eating, and the only thing that I'm doing different is Zumba. Any activity or workout that gets you moving fast and sweating hard will do the same thing. Pretty much all workouts work, I know that. I also know that it only works if you actually do it, and if it's tedious, boring, painful--or even largely inconvenient (like going to the gym)--I won't do it, no matter how amazing the results would be. The difference with this is that it's fun enough that I'll actually do it more than once or twice and then give it up. You stay on your feet, not on the floor (like with crunches and pilates). There's no straining your neck, breaking your back, or losing your will to live 10 minutes into the session. You're moving and working enough to burn fat and calories, but it's not so strenuous that you can't make it past the first few minutes. Don't get me wrong, I have moments where I struggle with some of the steps, and on occasion I get frustrated trying to keep up--but at least I'm moving. I don't work for the company and am not already sports-model fit. I'm an average 30-something female trying to get back in 20-something shape (and take off some quit-smoking weight). My reviews are honest because I rely on other people's honest reviews to help me make my own decisions about products here. So, I'm going to keep doing Zumba and add some other changes (like giving up my ice cream--so sad) and see how I do. For anyone interested, I'll put a couple beginner survival tips that helped me in the comments. Good luck.

Fun and challenging but better have a fast pace

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2016

Style Name: Exhilarate 5 DVDVerified Purchase

I'm a sahm with 2 kids. My youngest is 6 months so I'm working to loose my baby weight. The step by step, disc one and 20 min rush are nice. They walk you thru the steps disc 1 and disc 2 you use the moves you learned and it's fun. The 20 min is easy to follow and I work up a good sweat. Disc 3 decides to throw in some swing dancing steps which are fast and weren't shown in disc 1. Can get it but you have to watch and practice a few times cuz the guy can be hard to understand. Then they like to turn out the lights for a "fun" effect and you cant really tell wth their doing! Lol! So 3rd dvd has poor direction and it's pretty fast I basically fumble around all over and don't get in good cardio, but I'm going to keep trying till I get it. The fast 20 min workout is good to have! I haven't tried the 4th DVD, hoping it's better. Will update when I do.

Update: Now I've done disc three a few times it doesn't seem as hard as it did before. In fact the moves are very simple, just kinda fast. I still don't have some of them down but I don't really try, instead I do my own version and have fun with it. Disc four is pretty much the same. Def more challenging. Overall these DVDs are really fun to do and if you stick with it there's always room for improvement and variations. I would recommend to a friend!

but I will admit that I thoroughly enjoy this form of exercise over the 30 Day Shred ...

I am a 30 yr old asthmatic mom who is 60 pounds overweight and have been looking for a variety of methods to "keep my body guessing" as I go through the weight loss process. I have never been to a Zumba class, but have been intrigued enough to spent the $$ on this DVD set to learn some moves and get some cardio. I have only been through two of the videos (Step by Step and Activate), but I will admit that I thoroughly enjoy this form of exercise over the 30 Day Shred (even if it does not focus on strength like Jillian Michaels). Since I enjoy the Zumba more, I work harder at it. There are a few areas where the cueing is a bit off or the camera pans away during a transition, but they are minimal and do not bother me too much. I am able to get through ~90% of the moves without taking a break and the exercise does not hurt my knees.

My biggest suggestion is to also purchase some "Dance Socks" that go over your tennis shoes if you have carpet. I can slide around with less friction, but not to the point that I feel I am going to slip.

The Zumba Fitness Exhilarate: The Ultimate Experience DVD Set, IS the ULTIMATE Experience! I have been taking Zumba classes in my area and I truely love them. Unfortunately, I can't always make it to the classes due to scheduling conflicts, so I bought this set. I am EXTREMELY happy about this purchase. Not only do you get a dvd that teaches the moves (and I must mention that I now know the moves that I couldn't seem to catch on to during Zumba class), but you get so many different Zumba experiences. Learning the moves is a small workout but the other dvds are phenomenal! I get a great workout and burn a lot of calories. I was concerned at first that the calorie burn would not be the same as in class, but I'm glad to say that I was wrong.

Mixed opinion but disappointed in main dvd

Reviewed in Canada on June 13, 2016

Style Name: Exhilarate 5 DVDVerified Purchase

I am mixed about this. There are some dvds that have the instructors narrating while they dance and I found it easy to follow and a great workout. However, there are other dvds (especially the actual Exhilarate dvd) where the instructions are dubbed over the routine. I find that very distracting, and the instructions were not nearly as easy to follow. The exhilarate dvd also had the one blond dancer in the front who had her hair flying around (I actually spent time wondering how many times they had to stop to cool her down as she was ridiculously not sweating) and it seemed more like a music video with her showing off her body than a motivational workout. I got through 3 of the other dvds and enjoyed them but I stopped exhilarate part way through as it was just not enjoyable and was hard to follow. This is coming from someone who may be out of shape now but has years of dance experience so can usually catch up to new moves very quickly. I love the concept and would use the other dvds, so may try the original zumba package but was seriously disappointed with how the dvds that were dubbed in this set made it so hard to follow. It may work for some people, but if you don't like doing the routine as it feels awkward and artificial, it won't be a long term workout option.

Very Good product!

Style Name: Exhilarate 5 DVDVerified Purchase

It's a great package. The dvds are all different so you don't get bored. You have really intense workouts in there, wich is great. I've been taking Zumba classes for almost 3 years now and because I am back to school I can't go anymore. I missed it so much that I decided to give this a try. I must say that I have a blast every time and sweat my *** off. My poor neighboors!

I was afraid the steps would be too easy and I had a great surprise! The level of complexity is great even for Zumba addicts like me. And for people who never did Zumba, the Step by Step and Activate Dvds are just perfect. You can start off with these ones and when you are ready you can move on to the other classes. And you can choose to have verbal cues or not wich is very useful to learn the choreographies and not annoying once you know the steps.

The songs are pretty good but don't wait too long to buy this kit because the music will soon become outdated. I saw a brand new set online, the Zumba incredible results wich have more up to date music. I'll probably buy this one too. All in all, it's a great set. Wish I bought the 7 Dvds set tough, because I don't really use de Step by Step and Activate since they are more for beginners.

LOTS OF FUN!

Style Name: Zumba Fitness Exhilarate Body Shaping 7 DVD Weight Loss Cardio SystemVerified Purchase

I bought this kit just for the exercise. Good clear instruction. I like the upbeat personalities of the instructors. I had never done these types of dances before, but found it not hard to learn at all, thx to the style of these videos. I'm in my 60's and in moderate shape, so far from the best of shape. When I started I would tire quickly, but I can last longer each time, and find I can do most of the dances easily. Took a lot of concentration at first, but once I get the hang of a dance, it's not so hard anymore. Good to learn for newbies, or seasoned dancers to brush up.... for simply exercise, or to show off on the dance floor! Recommended.

cd's freeze

Style Name: Zumba Fitness Exhilarate Body Shaping 7 DVD Weight Loss Cardio SystemVerified Purchase

I purchased the Exhilarate package and the dance party package. Two of the cd's, step by step and activate (the only ones I have tried) froze numerous times while trying to play them. I finally shut them off due to total frustration. I have yet to try the others as I figured that if I didn't know the steps I would be unable to keep up and enjoy the workout. I did not try any of the dance party cd's. I did like the format and instructors of the two cd's I played...if I could have seen the entire cd without freezing.
I tried to contact Zumba Fitness but that was a lesson in frustration as well. I did finally send an e-mail out but as of yet had not had a reply although they did acknowledge my e-mail.
