Zumba on Wii

shawntay52

Hello,
I got the Zumba 2 for the wii for christmas and i started my workout plan this week. I was wondering how you know how many calories you burn? I know that at the end of your 20 minute session that it will give you points, is that the calories?

I also got the Just Dance 3 and i have to say that it is amazing!

Not sure what I am missing. I bought it, put it in and thought it was too much show. I didn't really do it though. But I sold it so maybe I should have given it another shot? It seems like 99% of people that do it like it.....hmm...I was just distracted by all the "sets" and stuff. The graphics are better than the first one though!

When I do Zumba on the Wii, I listen to my own music.

I am definitely getting it, but going to make sure I am home alone when it happens LOL. If my kids saw me trying to Zumba, all the neighbors and family and friends would get a full description of what they witnessed and it wouldn't be pretty. I will be in my room with the door locked :laugh:

it gives you points, accuracy, and calories burnt. theres another place that tells your accuracy, time, weight and calories burnt for that day. thats the best part, i dont have to add them all up it does it for me.

I do it, its a great cardio routine, depending on the time i have, i would do the 20, or the 45 min workout, it burns a great amount of calories, and keeps you sweating! (:

I havent tried the Zumba yet for Wii........I've thought about it. Right now for extra calorie burn I will play Just Dance with the kiddos......its calorie burn + quality time all in one.:happy:

I love Zumba on the Wii! I also love Just Dance 3 on the Wii! They both burn lots of calories and are a lot of fun. Good luck!

I'm starting tonight. Glad to see so many like it. My mom gave me her Zumba. I have all these great Wii workout games but the Wii was taken over by my son. Hubby bought me a new Wii last night so I can work out.

I love Zumba Wii. When I don't feel like working out I put it in and BAM 30 mins go by. I will do a lot of individual dances as well just to challenge myself. There are so many on there it is hard to become bored.

Hi
I didn't know Zumba is on wii. Is it a game or part of Wii fit?

What a coincidence, i've just joined the Zumba challenge group. I just posted a thread there about how terrible i am at dancing but i'm willing to give it a try! it looks like so much fun, but it's quite hard till you learn the steps!

I always love zumba..and when I saw that Zumba 2 came out I bought it. I went out and bought the first Zumba Wii game and I can say im not impressed. By far the best version is Zumba 2. I love that I can customize my playlist which is a BIG bonus for me. So keep it up because its a great workout!

Is Zumba for Wii anything like in-person Zumba classes? I loved going to the Zumba classes at my college's gym last semester but this upcoming semester, they won't work in my schedule. Is the Wii game as intense and have as much variety as a class?

I haven't taken a class and have only done Zumba on the Wii a couple of times with my grandkids. I have the DVDs and do them regularly. But, I have 2 daughers, one used to take Zumba classes and the other has both Wii games. Some of the workouts on the Wii are identical to the DVDs and they are intense and burn a lot of calories. But the game and the DVDs do, of course, have a limited number of workouts available whereas an instructor could constantly make up new routines if they wanted.

I just did a moderate class for 40 min & burned 652 cals having FUN!! So much more entertaining than the elliptical

never tried the eliptical but i love zumba

I bought Zumba 2 for Wii since my January goal is to lose at least 10lbs. I've only tried it once and just felt so dumb! my husband has been encouraging me to try again and I know I will, I just have to force myself to get over my self consciousnesses

I felt dumb the first few times, but as you start to get the routines and steps down it is better, and a great workout.

I'm wanting to get it because I hear it's a great workout and fun; thanks for reminding me

StrongerJess

I just ordered this. Thanks for the recommendation. Can't wait to try it.

Zumba 2 is so much better than Zumba 1 for Wii. I love Zumba 2 because it gives you a report at the end under the statistics tab. It will tell you how any calories burned, how your technique was and the time you worked out. It will also generate a daily, weekly and monthly report.
I grew up dancing salsa and merengue so I may be biased. I remember when the regular Zumba DVD came out. I was so ecstatic. I was like yes...Latino music! Zumba 2 for Wii gives me the option to customize my playlist.. I can do all intense...or mix it up. Its all up to you how you want to do it. I definitely recommend Zumba 2 I do not recommend Zumba 1 since I bought it and was disappointed with it. Hope this helps.

I've been using Zumba 2 for a few weeks now, and I love it! I do feel a little self-conscious (I make my husband hang out in another room while I do it!), but as I practice the steps more am starting to feel more confident. I'm hoping that I'll see some great results soon!

I got Zumba for the Wii when it first come out....it was a great workout so I loved doing it, but it was nothing like the real classes. When I heard about the Zumba 2 and all the improvements they made I was really excited! I got it for Christmas and I absolutely love it!!!! Such a step up from the first one

I love it!!! lost 8lbs in a week doing that and exercising..now ive lost 10lbs well on my way to my goal even though i got 79lbs left to go

Anyone 60+ try WII Zumba? I did, and now I'm waiting to get a chiropractor appointment. I will not, however, let a little pain deter me from working out as I am determined to get better fit this year, and each year from now on out.

I have zumba for the wii. I am so uncoordinated though I just feel like a fish flopping out of water. I can't seem to get the moves and feel stupid and like it is no benefit. Any suggestions?
