    I definitely thought it was challenging at first cause I expected it to be like DDR. I kept at it, and then it was all figured out. Don't give up cause you will catch on! :) I love ZUMBA!

    I would also like to add that I have the second game for Zumba Wii and it's supposed to be a more difficult game. After you've finished with the dance/song, the game tells you how many calories you've burned. Choosing a song that's about a moderate level only burns 47 calories according to the game. My question is how are so many of you claiming to burn so many calories in 20-30 mins?

    How do keep the stupid belt from moving up off your hips and spinning around at your waist. It's driving me crazy!!!

    I bought it at Walmart and it came with the belt. I love it. When I googled it I found that an hour of Zumba is like 536 calories burned, it didnt specify if that was the class or whatever. Im curious to know the exact amount as well. If you find out plz post

    Yeah! I would like to know how many calories do you burn doing the 45 minute workout on the Wii Zumba Fitness. Also I got it at GameStop too for $39.99. It comes with the Zumba belt too! Love it! Without the belt it's like $34.99 I believe. Zumba is fun too!

    It varies from person to person, its best to wear a heart rate monitor to track your total calories burned. I burn more calories when I teach Zumba than when I go to someone else's class or use Wii.

    Love the Just Dance games have held off on Zumba because I'm not very coordinated. How hard is it too learn the steps. Noticed many of u had class experience before.:ohwell:

    I found this in my search to see how many calories I would burn (as i have gone slightly over my daily limit) and this is what I found in my search!

    I just bought it. Very excited to try it out. I have the bodymedia armband, so it will be interesting to see how many calories it says I burn.

    I love Zumba for the Wii! It's definitely my favorite workout. I find myself looking forward to it pretty often!
    >> For anyone that's still looking for a way to calculate the amount of calories you burned during it all, I use this website: http://caloriesburnedhq.com/zumba-calories-burned/

    I hope it helps! :)

    I did Zumba Fitness 2 - Wii for the first time today... I got it as a Mommy's Day present from my hubby and kids... I did the mid intensity - Dance Studio #5 full workout = hour and approximately 8- 10 songs... Sorry, I didn't keep count... At the end, it said based on my status that I put into my profile (weight, height, age etc) that I burned 799 calories and got 86% accuracy.... I agree with others this may be a little high for a burn, but I'm using it since I don't have a heart monitor and really don't want one either... When I do the Zumba Fitness Exhilarate DVD's (started them 6x/week for at least an hour on cardio only days and 1 1/2 hours - 2 hours every other day for cardio and Zumba Ripped (toning and Sentao) I use caloriesburnedhq.com under Zumba for an estimate, which usually says I burn about 632 calories for mid intensity... However, one of my besties on here, says you can burn up to 1000 calories in a high intensity class, so she thinks my burn is pretty accurate... Regardless, I always will err on the side of caution with my daily nutritional goals just to be safe...
