    For 30 min I get just over 200 cal. For me it's the same if I do a Zumba class or at home with the Wii (the Wii tells u that u burn more but I've been using a hrm). I'm 5 3" and 225 lbs

    I have been doing zumba on my wii for about 3 months now and I have lost 18 pounds and about 7 inches around my waist. it does wonders and definitely works the ab muscles alot. Its hard to start out doing but it gets easier to keep up with the moves. I started doing it for 20 minutes and now I can easily do the hour long sessions. I find it easier then doing ab workouts and just as effective. sorry if there is any mispelling im on my kindle fire.

    I do Zumba wii and love it. It is my fav cardio. I will say that I have to use my HRM while doing it because what it estimates my burn to be is double reality. Just be careful that you don't over estimate what you are burning.

    I do the dance central games on the xbox and just dance on the wii.
    Like others have said if you half what the xbox/wii tells you it will be around that if you put full effort in!

    I think around 20cals a song if you really get into it? Don't we all wish it was higher...

    Id love to know where the game devs got those numbers from.

    There is a game called wii cheer as well that measures you in 'real' calories, so 1000x what we talk in ie kcals and it seems to be based on a point system, so weird, it said I burnt like 500,000cals from one song .. epic!

    Hey there. I've been doing Zumba as my main exercise due to the amount of calories it burns in the short amount of time. I do about 2 sets of 45 mins each day. It took me a long time to work up to that but each session of 45 mins I burn about 400 to 500 depending on what intensity I feel like doing. It's actually quite fun, I prefer the Xbox to classes because I can stop if I need to or look as silly as I want without feeling uncomfortable lol.
