    I am doing zumba on the wii. I logged it as general dance because i couldnt find zumba in the list. How does everyone else log it?

    I'm in!! I had the original Zumba on Wii and hated having to wear the belt or hold the controller. We got my son the Xbox 360 with Kinect for Christmas. I bought Zumba and love it. Traded in my Wii version and will only use the Kinect. Great workout. I have never tried it at a gym as I work out at home.

    I had to add it - luckily my Kinect tells me how many calories I burn!

    Hi, I am new here. I just registered today and I would like to have some support from people fighting the same fight. I actually love zumba and bought the Exhilarate DVDs and I would like to use it for my weight loss plan. What is the challenge? I think it will motivate me to do more.

    I hope I can find some friends to help :)

    That is extremely unlikely. It is hard to burn 1000 calories in a full hour. You may want to enter it as aerobic dance or get a heart rate monitor.

    I'm in - already got 40 minutes in yesterday. I'd love to see what doing Zumba for a month will do to help jump start my weight loss!

    I've done Zumba with a heart rate monitor and have always burned 700-800 calories in a session. Of course I've got a lot to burn! :happy:

    even if it is not 100% accurate, it is what I have for now. Maybe I will get a HRM later on. IDK. I am thrilled to be up & moving. for sure.

    SO glad I found this thread! I do an hour Zumba class 4-5 times a week! I used to do it TWICE a day :embarassed: but have since been mixing it up since schedules have changed, instructors left, etc.
    I borrowed a heart rate monitor that I wore around my chest for a week and found that I was averaging 750 calories burned! (5'3, 135 lbs, 30 years old) ...I'm interested in what y'all burn and what you log it as? I log it at 550 for margin of error (if instructor tends to give us water breaks, wiping sweat off with towel, cool down at end)
    :heart:

    Does anyone else have Zumba Core for the Wii? I set a goal for about half of this challenge and at the end of an hour long class I only had credit for 22 minutes :(

    5'4" & 171 and for a 45 min high intensity session my Kinect says 900+ calories. I was told this is very improbable but I don't have a HRM and am just using the Kinect for now. The only break is maybe 1-2 mins between songs.

    IF I Zumba 3 days and take one day of rest - I will average 4.5 hours a week - then I will just have to do one extra 30 mins, I am marking my calender. Hope I can stick to it. My core is definitely talking to me. How is everyone else feeling?
