[Giveway] Kicking Up Your Heels With Zumba

Last week I was contacted to see if I might like to try a free sample from Yahoo!’s Shine, because they’re releasing a fitness Get It Guide. You have probably seen some of their other guides.  The toys guide was my favorite, as I never know what to buy anyone else’s kids.

The Shine rep told me I could choose from these products.

I’ve always wanted to try Zumba, so I thought this would be a great way to give it a shot. I asked for Zumba Fitness DVD Set and spent some time today trying it out. It’s an excellent workout, and it lives up to the fun reputation. We were all sweating and giggling by the time we finished the first DVD, a 20 minute workout. We also gave the other three DVDs a spin, including the toning DVD that makes great use of the included fitness sticks. I don’t plan on changing my diet, which is healthy and balanced already (note the name of the blog), but the included meal plan seemed easy to understand and apply.

All in all, I’m pretty impressed with the Zumba kit, and since I really only do Pilates and run, it’s difficult to impress me with a DVD workout.  The Zumba kit was fun, worked up a sweat, and wasn’t difficult to keep up with. Here’s my youngest giving it a try.

Yahoo! Shine was also cool enough to let me give away a Zumba Fitness DVD Set, so the first comment or tweet or Facebook status update (or whatever), that I see gets the set. Considering that the Zumba kit is valued at $49.95 on Amazon, I’d say that’s a pretty sweet deal.
