    I am obsessed with Zumba 2 for the wii. I bought a HRM to track how many calories I burn, in about 50 minutes I burn about 900 calories

    I just got zumba fitness 2 the other day for the wii, it reckons Im about 322 for 30 mins but thats without a HRM or anything so can't be sure how accurate that is. One thing, it definitely gets me sweaty and hot so it must be doing some good! And its fun so its all good :)

    That will depend on your current weight and overall condition. Without a HRM it will be difficult to tell. The average is 500-800 burned an hour. I have Wii Zumba and love it. I also have a HRM and burn 562 an hour.

    I love the game - I have the first Zumba, would LOVE to get the other. I googled it and try to lowball what I get until I can get an HRM.

    ^^This. But I always use somewhere in between the low and mid numbers, even when I feel like I did more than that. Without a HRM, it's still just an estimate.

    Buy a heart rate monitor. No two bodies are the same. I burn anywhere from 550 - 700 calories for an hour of zumba class, depending on how hard I push and the teacher's routines. You can't gauge off of other people, you have to buy a monitor and keep track for yourself.

    I just recently started doing this, and I really enjoy it. Its a good workout, but its also alot of fun. I definitely learned that I have no rhythm though. lol

    The calories burned will be different for everyone based on their weight.

    I have both games and I really do enjoy doing them when I can't make it to my weekly Zumba workouts at the gym. As others have stated, the only way to know how many calories you burn is if you get a decent HRM that also tracks calories (I use Polar, but there are other good brands out there too!). You can guesstimate how many you burn, but if you want to get a more exact calorie burn, it's best to get a HRM with a chest strap to figure out how much your own body burns.

    Hope this helps! :)
