can a young 60 year old learn the steps,

Absolutely yes! this program comes with a beginners dvd that breaks downs the steps. However; as I stated before, I'd recommend the newer program(Zumba Incredible results), it is a lot easier to follow but still challenging.

Yes you can. You may need to spend more time on the first DVD over and over till you feel comfortable. (the one that teaches you the steps slowly). But after that as long as you don't have any issues with getting your heart rate up you should be fine.

Judy, definitely! And in the end it's less important to do the moves perfectly, and more important that you're moving your body. In one of the gyms I belonged to in the past, they even had a Zumba class just for "silver sneaker" types, so at a still-young 60, you are not too old to learn the steps! Since Zumba is higher impact, you should definitely consult your doctor first and do whatever he/she says is best, watching potential problem areas like knees, ankles, back, etc. You can also modify the movements and lower the impact as you need to, according to your doctor's suggestions, but just enjoy it!

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.

Definitely! It takes you through it step by step and it has the dvd's from beginner to advance.

I'm a 21 year old with two left feet.I had a hard time keeping up with the instructors.There is a Zumba for seniors called Golden Years, I believe.It might be more suitable for people like myself who need to go at a slower pace because of my poor dancing ability.

I believe so, one of the DVD's breaks down the steps and all the others have the option of playing the DVD with or without verbal cue. Also they do have the Zumba Gold that is geared towards 60 year young adults. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as my daughter and I do!

I'm a seventy-eight year old woman. I don't think I could carry it up more than two or three steps.

It might be a little advanced for that age. Our younger grandson is 6. I can't remember if he was able to "get it" or not, but the 8 year old did fine.

Dop you think Zumba is a very strong excersise for a 60 years old person???

The box says ages "8 to 88" , probably pretty true. I got it for a 10 year old and I helped him start one of the more difficult projects. He can figure out the pictorial instructions pretty well but does need some help at times. He would be OK on his own with one of the easier projects. As for an upper age limit I think many adults would enjoy it.

Of course it it a great learning tool. I am 65 years old and my grand daughter and I play school but is also fun for my grand daughter to practice letters and numbers now that she is in kindergarten.

well, adults could learn from it, if they have no basic understanding of multi-step processes.. but no. it's really not aimed at adults or even teenagers.. it is definitely more for the under 10 set... and playing by yourself would just be silly.. as really each player is only playing against themselves anyway..

I think it can be done . I am a senior and did it just follow the directions . not too difficult

Yes, the game is accessible to those ages. It's easy to pick up and learn. Really fun to mess your friends and family over.Hope this answer helps.

It took my husband 45 minutes to put it together but he's Mr. Handyman. If you know how to use basic tools, like a screwdriver and wrench and maybe have an extra set of hands around, you should be able to do it. yes, I'm in my 60's and this machine is great, particularly because it's up off the floor, which is what I needed. My only criticism is that the resistance is pretty low. I'm not in shape at all but could use more resistance.

It's been a while since I synced the two. I do remember I had to read the instructions about 3 times and then realized I needed to follow each step as instructed without skipping any steps. The instructions give you a sense of being able to skip some steps to get to the final outcome.

Hi Kathryn,That depends my mother is 78 and yes I could show her how to use the chair with no issues. However, if this person has balance/coordination issues, when it goes back it may make them uneasy or have a falling feeling only if you don't realize what you are doing. It is easy to use once they get the hang of pushing the foot bar out so that it goes back. The locking mechanism is easy to use so I would not see any issue even if they had trouble with their hands for some reason. But that is my best advise. Hopefully this helps.

I hear you can . You have to search for the steps to do this. I think I have seen them on line when I ordered.

Yes you can and if you are a hands on learner like me; YouTube has a video on how too �

Yes, but instructions are only in Japanese. Just google it, as the link I previously provided was flagged. Other competitors instructions will suffice as the installation will be the same. I found a video that walks you through the steps.

Yes. I think it would be very good. I bought it for my 50 year old husband. It has everything for a beginner.

Yes, it's a great game for all ages, but probably a bit better for over 20 as there's more life experience to come up with 'clues'. I'm in my early 50's, but played with 20 and 30 somethings the first time I played.
