Will Zumba kill my legs?

There's a free Zumba class being offered at my gym today. I've wanted to try it so I'm thinking about signing up. I've got an 18 miler scheduled for tomorrow though so I don't want to do it if my legs are going to be jelly from the class. Thoughts? TIA!

Re: Will Zumba kill my legs?

  • It's hard to say because as in the previous post this week about this.....Some will find it hard and some think it does nothing. I personally would rest or do light yoga if you have an 18 miler the next day.

  • I'd hold off on the zumba.  Even if your legs are okay, it does irritate some people's sciatic nerves and/or back.  Why risk it the day before an 18 miler?
