My wife just bought it today. I'm listening to it in the back ground. LOL!

She says it's AWESOME, like a zumba class except at home. I don't know cuz I haven't tried (dancing's not really my thing), but I figured I'd let you guys know, I know a lot of you guys like zumba. She's wearing her HRM too and says it's a good calorie burn.

    Gonna try it at my friends (she just got it) and maybe get that one instead of the zumba game because I can never find a store that actually has one in stock! Thanks for the tip!

    got this game for Christmas! It's awesome. It's gotten played everyday! My shoulders are sore b/c all of the arm movements in the dances. If you copy them it's a killer workout. :)

    Okay. You all have convinced me: UNWRAP my Just Dance 2 for Wii. I used to go to the live classes and it was the only exercise I truly loved. I mean LOVED.

    My commitment: unwrap and play it once by next Friday.

    Yeah, I posted about this yesterday in my personal status. there's a "just sweat mode" and I tell you, as a CROSSFITTER I got a decent cardio workout from this!

    OMG I was so confused. I have TWO things to UNWRAP and DO: Just Dance 2 AND Zumba for the Wii.

    Gettin' started is the hard part for me...

    I LOVE this one! And you can download the Katie Perry Firework song for free right now. So much fun!! Worth a try. I've never taken a Zumba class, and I was told that the Wii Zumba game would be difficult for anyone who hasn't taken the class. If someone else has heard differently, let me know because I'm interested. I also just bought the Wii Fit Plus. That's neat too.

    I do zumba a lot and I think this is harder than the classes. Depending on who the instructor is. Its actually faster...but very very fun. Just make sure no one is watching. Notice my husband said he was listening to me, and not looking!

    I felt really bad after I tried it. I thought I was an OK dancer. But I'm not. I'm very not. I'm pretty bad at it.

    I have the first Just Dance, I love it. I was thinking of getting the 2nd one, & now this thread has convinced me to do so! How do you all know how many calories you're burning do the dances? is there something on the game that lets you know? or is it just by wearing a HRM?

    I haven't used it as such, but yes, in "just sweat mode you can monitor your energy burn with this exercise in disguise"

    I can't find that darn Zumba game anywhere either!

    They have it on Amazon but it $65. It's only $39 at the stores and $29 at Walmart.com. It's just out of stock. I can't see paying double for it.:(

    HI there! First day on, and the Dance 2 sounds great. One thing though... what in the world is an HMR? I tried to look it up but to no avail!

    i Just got Just Dance 2 for the Wii not to long ago and I love it. I was getting ready to start my own topic about this game, but I saw this and decided to post on here.

    If anyone has a wii and is looking for a fun game that will give you a good cardio workout, this is the game for you!!!

    I absolutley love it!!! I play on all setting but when I am playing by myself, I use the SWEAT mode. This calculates your sweat points and you can actually use those to determine your calorie burned! The way I do it is that every 10 sweat point = 1 calorie burned, so today I had 5300 sweat points, i devide it by 10 and end up with 530 calories burned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
