I currently have the Zumba Core DVD, does this DVD (Zumba Rush) have workouts that are different from Zumba Core?

The Zumba Rush is a full body dance workout. It focus more on dance technique. I have not tried Zumba Core.

This isn't a DVD it's an XBox game and all of them are different...at least the ones I have are all different. I don't have the Core one though.

It is so much better since it focus in the whole body and the sessions range are really nice

I'm not a mom and I know you wanted to know if mother's have gotten toned from doing Zumba but I just wanted to say I've done both the Zumba and Zumba Exhilarate for three weeks in a row for 5 days each and haven't lost or gained anything. I know in both you work with the toning sticks. I just have regular 3lb weights which gets harder the longer you use them for these two videos. The Zumba 'Sculpt & Tone' will have you heaving if you're not in top shape. The Zumba Ripped is extremely low impact so I don't see why they call it 'ripped' when you barely break a sweat. I'm not in tip top shape but I know the Ripped DVD is too easy to do and don't see how you can get 'ripped' from it.

Rushfit has warm-ups, and cool downs with stretching. The workouts are challenging but not crazy. We have had great success with Rushfit. You will sweat and get in shape. The instructors are very knowledgeable and the workout seem well thought out. Les Mills just looks like a crazy in your face zumba class with loud house music. I would definitely choose Rushfit.

You don't need the extra discs. Before I started I read reviews and ppl were complaining that there the abs disc was extra. I was annoyed. BUT now that I'm on month 2 I realized you don't need to do extra abs because every DVD you get works abs in through all of the core exercises. I've found p90x3 different from p90x and Insanity in that my entire core is getting much much tighter - chest, sides, stomach... And it broke up and loosened my lower back in a very natural, healthy way. So you really don't need to do a separate abs program - you'll get nice abs from the 16 DVDs.

Speaking for myself, I'm not following a program. I'm doing the ACTIVATE DVD this month, then I plan to move onto the EXHILARATE DVD next month. It took me three days for my body to adjust to following the steps and still, I'm not perfect with all the moves, but I'm keeping up. RUSH is WAY too advanced for me right now, although it is 20mins. So, I'm just having fun with ACTIVATE for the moment. Don't kill yourself trying to keep up, listen to your body ( unless your body tells you to give up, then don't listen!)

No, it doesn't. It also isn't the entire "hip hop abs" series. I was really disappointed when I got it, but I should have known why it was so cheap. . It has 2 or 3 videos and they kind of just get into full swing from the start-which wasn't ideal for someone who is out of shape and uncoordinated. I would suggest something else if you're anything like me. I need a "how to" and slower start for something new.

Plus you get the step and 3 program guides and a nutrition book! It's packed full of goodies! All useful! I really like mine!

Of course! I recommend starting with the first DVD, it's a great instructional DVD. It breaks down all the steps and makes it easier to advance to the rest if the DVDs. Or you can always modify the steps to your liking, that's what I do! Zumba is about having fun and still just moving around if you need to catch your breath at times.

There are a few different workouts. I typically do the disco workout and I do the dance party. Of course the disco has disco music..the dance party. Has some Michael Jackson, Madonnna, etc......

Hi Nancy, all of the discs have cardio and resistance training in them. The Burn It Up is mostly cardio....be prepared as it is a serious workout!

I don't think that there is really a change in the number of DVDs. They are just separating out the programs: 1) Scultp 1-2; 2) Sweat 1-2; 3) Sculpt 3-4; 4) Sweat 3,4; 5) Ab Ripper 100; 6) Ab Ripper 200. This is really two DVDs with Sculpt 1-2/Sweat 1-2/Ab Ripper 100 on one DVD and Sculpt 3-4/Sweat 3-4/Ab Ripper 200 on the other. Fat Burner Express is, perhaps, a 3rd DVD, and is new to the pack (I don't have it). As with most of these kinds of sites, BB wants to make it look like you're getting whole lot of stuff for your money. In this regard, the program guide, meal plan, and 6-day fat burning plan, are small pamphlets that could easily be turned into a single, short document. The success measurement card and tape measure are exactly what they sound like. The literature adds value to some degree, but the most helpful 'bonuses' would be the exercise band and the online access to the BB forums. (I can't comment on the Fat Burning Express video, as it was not part of the package when I bought P90 years ago) BB is big on hype and marketing. There's a lot of sizzle, but you also get the steak too. The workouts are the real thing and are a great place to start if you are working out for the first time. Good luck.

I love Zumba Exhilarate!!! I'm at it 6 days a week. I missed yesterday (lazy lima bean mode) and did two dvd workouts today, Ripped and Exhilarate. I am 56 years old and refuse to go out "like that". I'm learning hip hop like the kids in the dvd and I work it on the dance floor when my guy and I go out to a party or event. Just because you're a certain age, you don't have to look it. I have both boxed sets and have committed to 90 days of each. After which I'll go to another dvd in the set and work that for another 90 days. This is a wonderful program. Who would have thought I would actually learn to look forward to my fitness regime everyday? Certainly, no me. I love Zumba Exhilarate!!! I'm at it 6 days a week.

It has the 3 main starter DVDs pulse two extra workouts to change it up. I haven't tried the two extra ones yet. I can say that the 3 main DVDs kicked my butt & I'm still trying to keep up. I have noticed a change in my backside just after a few weeks. My baby belly has shrunk too.

Hello Lareina - I only received one dvd with the purchase of the Gazelle Supreme. I found this dvd to be fine for beginners but wanted more of an intensive workout so I purchased 3 of Tony Little's dvd's entitled "Tony Little's Gazelle Freestyle Evolution Personal Trainer dvd', Lower Body workout and Buttkicking Workout dvd. The three additional dvd's provide a fantastic workout! I hope this helps. Kathy

No- the moves are pretty controlled and low-to mid impact-mostly squating/kettlebells swings combined with upper body type moves. The most high impact moves in my opinion are the burpees/thrusters. But there is a slower-modified version for it. There are 4 DVDs with different workouts so if you find one to be too much there are 3 more you can use. I suffer from lower back and neck issues and I have to say this has been a really good workout with very little impact (for me). Hope this helps.

I just recently tried Zumba for the first time in an actual class and it was intense but doable! I have also ordered the DVD which is good. I can't speak for everyone but can say that had i not incorporated various cardio, weight exercises into my daily regimen i could not have lasted a full hour of my first actual class. Of course there are ways to keep moving if you cannot keep up that's the key to just keep moving and do what you can so again it's doable but maybe not for everyone as a beginner you may have to work up to it! Good luck whatever you choose but i will say Zumba has changed my thinking and I"m on a roll with my workouts again! Best to you!
