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"
