I have decided to do Zumba as my additional exercise. I am not able to go to classes. What do you prefer, Zumba DVD's or the Zumba Wii?

    I'm a dude....the Zumba DVD's are just not meant for a man to do. .....with that said.....I've done both with my wife and daughter. They do P90 with me so its a trade off. I would definitely do the videos over the gaming version. More variety and no need to stop.

    I've played the Zumba for Wii -- it's a lot of fun! I haven't done any regular DVD's, but I've gone to a few classes.

    Sorry I can't be much help.

    Hiya hun - I have the Zumba wii game with the belt, unfortunately the belt dont fit me yet but i can do it without by just holding the remote in my hand - the dancing is really good, its a good source of excerise - gets you sweating within minutes - wii fit hardly makes me sweat like the zumba game does! i would reconmend it to anyone!

    Hiya have only ever done DVD and love it, a few of my friends say the wii is fab but I can not comment as have not done this.

    I love Zumba as you don't feel you are actually excercising as it is so much fun.

    Both! When I need a change I use the other for a while. I also like Zumba playlists that myself and others have put together on YouTube.com

    Hands down the DVDs! I personally like to see actual people when I work out and it just seems like I get a better workout when I do the DVD. I bought the Wii game first, used it twice. Then a few months later got the DVDs and I've done them a lot. Fun!!

    Thanks for the review. I'm getting bored with my Wii Fit and was on the fence about buying another game, but think I'll give Zumba for Wii a shot.

    I JUST got my Zumba Exhilarate DVD box set in the mail (less than 30 mins ago) I currently do Zumba on my Wii, I like it a lot. Add me and I will let you know what I think of the DVD set as I use it more.

    The belt doesn't fit me yet either, I got a strip of Velcro and use that to make it bigger.

    I use the Game 5x a week and ive lost 20 pounds so far with is. i love it, i also go to classes twice a week!
    I like the game beacause it tells you when you do good where as a DVD they have no idea how you are doing.
    Also you can play matches single songs they have learn the steps ! its amazing!

    I have both - like it on the Wii better. What I really like is the class I attend twice a week.
    Another fun Wii workout is Gold's Gym Dance Workout - that has a latin dance component, as well as cardio boxing.

    [/quote]With Wii Fit - are you using Wii Fit plus, or regular? I had both, and Plus is more fun. Also another great Wii workout game is Gold's Dance Gym Workout. I have that and the Zumba for Wii.

    Ok, I'm sorry but I am going to totally disagree with the previous comments. Like I said I just got the Exhilarate Dvd box set. It is WAY better than the Wii. Wii the people are kind of just blobs, they don't say much, and yes you do get the "meter" on the screen to "tell how you are doing" but that is just measuring if you are moving, NOT if you are doing it correctly. The "people" have no definition, so it is kind of hard to tell whats going on. Don't get me wrong, I love my Wii Zumba, but this DVD set is WAY better.
