:happy: My Wii Zumba arrived yesterday and I am going to use it for the first time today. I have being using the DVD's since Christmas and have lost 20lbs. I just want to see what people think of the Wii Zumba.

    I'm the opposite. I've had Just Dance 2 for ages, but got Zumba for the Wii yesterday. I'm going to try my Zumba today... I may not be able to walk tomorrow!!!!!!

    It's available in the UK. I live here and ordered it from Amazon, it only arrived yesterday so it is new to the UK this week.

    It is available. i got mine yesterday from HMV. :-)

    It's brilliant, it such a good workout, i only did it for a little while, but could really feel it working. I was actually going to start a thread asking if anyone knew roughly how many cals you burn.

    I have been wanting to try Zumba! I went to a class last week only to find out it was cancelled. I may just go ahead and order it on Wii. Looks like a lot of fun. :-)

    is it similar to the dvd? i use the dvd once a week at home and think its quite good, has the cardio party and sculpt and tone. However, i dont think it matches to the atmosphere u get in a class (i go once a week).

    I've had my first go on it today and I really enjoyed it. just did a 20 min slotm which is really good for me before work. My other wii fitness game is about 60 min a session which makes it harder to fit in :)

    Zumba has different levels of difficulty and time and works out plans for you :) Its great (and a real bargain of a price from amazon)

    I really need to get a HRM tho (any suggestions of which ones, would prefer it from amazon, then send them my way!)

    Had my first go today! I started with the tutorial but wanted to get on with a class, so only learnt the first few moves - I think it's pretty easy to get the hang of. It was doing something as I got a stitch!

    Didn't get on with the belt, far too big!

    I've logged it as dancing, aerobic can't think what else I could put it as

    I got mine on wednesday. I did the 20 min beginner party. I didn't stop sweating for an hour! Then I did the no 2 easy party one yesterday which seemed easier, so switched back to no1 tonight and I have rivulets of sweat pouring down my neck! I love it! Off for a tepid shower! And I could feel the abs in the bottom of my stomach this morning :happy:
