    I LOVE Zumba. I'm in. How different is Zumba for Wii rather than an actual class? Right now I've been taking a class once a week but want to do more since I burn off so many calories.

    HI!

    In answer to your question, there are a bunch of answers and it all depends on your personal preference.

    I'm a licensed Zumba instructor, so naturally I lean towards live classes! :D There are reaons that people prefer one over the other or a combination of both.

    Wii -
    Pros: Privacy of your own home. You can do the workout whenever you want to. You can learn the routines at your own pace, but since they don't vary, you don't have to worry about learning new routines at the discretion of the instructor.

    Live class:
    Pros: Having other people around you can create a supportive and more fun atmosphere than if you were just doing it at home. The instructor can help you to figure out any "tricky" moves that you don't feel you're getting and check for form. The instructor SHOULD have a lot of energy and encourage you to push just a bit harder. Each instructor has a different style and usually change routines once in a while by adding or dropping songs to avoid monotony.

    I'm in! Zumba on my Wii is my favorite exercise to do. I did a 20-minute class this morning, and it shouldn't be hard for me to squeeze one in everyday.

    Sure!!! I took one yesterday, but I won't upload it till check-in day which is this coming Friday June 22nd! :D

    MORNING EVERYBODY!!!!!! What's everyone had for breakfast! Remember to get enough protein in you for better results!!
    Protein will feed your muscles and keep them nice and alert ready to destroy fat!!!! Especially when cardio training!

    Today another session of 20 minutes and if you have your Zumba sticks, add them in today too!!!

    Don't forget to take a "before pic" so that you can compare it to your post zumba every check-in day which is on Fridays!

    Happy weekend everyone!!!

    Hi Maggie!!! I'm sure that a 20 minute session on the Wii would be the same as the DVDs, roughly! Welcome aboard! There are a few girls that are going to do it with their Wii too! :wink:

    If you decide to buy the Zumba for Wii, I would just suggest you get Zumba 2 because it's so much more fun than the first one. Both will do the trick but you can start with 2 no problem.

    I can't wait to get back into Zumba. I just have to wait until I get this cast off of my foot. I broke the 5th metatarsal bone due to Zumba. Did to too vigorously. Be careful when you stomp your feet and make sure you have the right shoes for it. I have learned and will be getting insoles.
