Zumba DVDs and game

I have the Zumba gold set on DVD and it is fun and really get's you to sweat and burn. What I like about Zumba is that they are teaching you real dance moves, so when you lose all the weight you can shake- your -thang and look good doing it ! Zumba targets all the zones in the body and not only is it used to burn calories, but also for toning up all over. It's worth trying if you love to dance and you can do it at home. Hope this helps OH! and for counting the calories burning in MFP, just list it under Dancing and that should calculate it pretty good.

I've heard that the games are sort of tricky. I've heard complaints that just shaking the control gives you perfect scores and makes it hard to get through training sections. I do not own the game, however, if this is true I think I would rather spend the $$ on the dvds and toning sticks then a game that isn't really recording my actions anyways. If that makes sense.

As a Zumba instructor, I have tried the ZUMBA DVD's. They're pretty awesome. We took some of our routines for our classes from the DVD's. The 20 minute abs one really works your abs out, and the 20 minute express really kicked my butt!! The DVD's should be close to what an actual Zumba class is like. I personally like working out with other people (and leading a class) so I'd prefer the actual class...but if you're shy about that kind of stuff you should go for the DVD box set from ZUMBA and you'd get the same work out. Just be careful if you workout on carpet, only because if you wear sneakers, there isn't a whole lot of give when you pivot and twist, which could cause knee problems.

I was actually wondering which one-DVD's or Wii- was better too? Also, I see that Amazon has a Zumba Fitness Total Body Transformation set (with Beto) and Zumba Fitness Latin Workout set. Has anyone tried both?
