The Zumba Crew - January

We just bought the Wii game and played it for the first time on Saturday. I wasn't impressed with the "training" aspect as it seemed to have a glitch and jumped what I'm sure were some important steps, but the routines themselves were very fun and were a real workout for both me and my husband. We are very uncoordinated and have zero rhythm, so we must look really stupid, but we're moving around, getting our hearts pumping and after three times are starting to get the routines. I wish that they were a little longer (we're really winded after the 20 minutes but I feel like we should go longer to maximize the raised heart rates).

If we didn't look so ridiculous, I'd be looking for Zumba classes in Toronto!

I have the Zumba Wii and it is fun! I look forward to it everyday because I LOVE to dance and I don't really feel like I'm working out. When I temporarily hurt my back, I didn't get to do it for a week and I was devastated during the 1st day not being able to do it.

Anyways, I didn't really read this thread past the 2nd page so I don't know if you know this already: You have to do the classes sequentially in order to unlock the rest of the longer classes. I do the Zumbathon (the longest and final class, about 60 minutes) everyday and I'm dripping sweat. Too bad I haven't really controlled my eating habits to really see the full effects. I actually just started my diet yesterday because I knew I was going to pig out during the Super Bowl hehehe... Hopefully I'll lose weight soon.
