Has anyone tried it? I'm thinking of trying it in conjunction with the treadmill.

    I have it on the wii and it rocks! You seriously POUR sweat! You can burn up to 1000 calories in an hour long workout! Soooo worth it!

    I got it for Christmas and tried it out a couple of times. Our problem is that our living room is so small that even pushing the sofa back doesn't quite give you all the room you need. I have also tried The Biggest Loser for Kinect and it is pretty acurate. They let you know if your lunges aren't deep enought (which could be a good thing or a bad thing). =)

    I love it! I got it for Christmas and started off just doing the 20 minute workouts in conjunction with a Leslie Sansone workout. Earlier this week I did a 45 minute workout on beginner level and I was so tired (in a good way!) when I was done. You don't even realize you're working out (except for the super sweaty part, LOL)

    Has anyone tried the workout mode on Dance Central for Kinect? I was wondering about that.

    I absolutely hated it. The instructions were horrible and they went through the steps way too fast. It also could barely pick up my moves. I would be standing completely still and the instructor would tell me what a great job I was doing. We use a online rental store called Gamefly (think Netflix but for games) and are so happy we did not pay $ for this game. The reviews on Gamefly for the Kinect Zumba are also poor.

    I have it for the wii and not only do I love it, but my kids do too! The 8 year old little guy uses it all the time. I am going to be in soooo much trouble when he's older. He's got some great moves in those little hips. LOL!

    I have Zumba and Dance Central. I prefer Dance Central (which also has a work out mode), but I would suggest you try both if you can. Both will get you sweating, and both are so much fun that you won't even notice that you're working out.

    Thanks Everyone!! I will have to give it a try and let you know how it goes. I'm eager to see how many calories I will burn! :smile:

    Woah.....tried the Zumba last night and burned 301 calories. Awesome workout!

    I think this is my newfound routine.

    I know it's slightly off topic but I've been playing the Sports and Adventures that you get with the Kinect. They all get a good sweat on! Played adventures for 20 minutes and I was drenched!

    Quite fancy the Dance central - it looks good for making a fool out of yourself when you have a party! :)

    We love Dance Central when friends are over. We play it for hours. Really does work up a sweat.


    SailorMoon007, how is the workout mode?

    Several of you listed Just Dance.... is it for the Wii or Xbox? Do you need any special equipment?*curious*

    I'm assuming that Wii Zumba uses the balance board and controller?

    We have an Xbox, but no Knect... I have a Wii with a balance board. Just trying to figure out what is doable without haviing to purchase a bunch of equipment.
