    I have quite a few fitness games for my Wii, including Zumba. I have trouble following some of the steps, but it's definitely a workout. I'm sure it would work if you do it consistently. It really doesn't matter what exercise you do, as long as you're adhering to the formula of moving more and eating less.

    I tried out zumba at my gym for a while, and i had such a good time doing it. It can definitely help you burn lots of calories. My friend uses a heart rate monitor and burns about 700 calories after an hour of zumba. the most important thing is getting your heart rate up and staying in motion.

    If you're like me, you might feel absolutely foolish when you first start out, but stick with it. as you learn the moves, it gets easier and lots more fun. I've never played the wii version, but heard good things.

    Good luck, doll! You can do it! Get that booty moving!

    I just left a zumba class about 1 hr ago....It is the frosting on my work week. If you like music and moving you will enjoy it. Good luck

    Love Zumba! I find it on youtube. I can't dance to save my life so the whole time I am trying to keep up and then the workout is over...which works for me, doesn't seem like drudgery and it burns a lot of calories. Remember to wear shoes even when you do it at home though. Cross trainers are best. Protect your ankles from strain.
