I was wondering if it's good for a beginner. I have never done a zumba class and I am not coordinated at all but I was looking for something to do if I can't get to the gym. If this would not be a good choice, can you make a recommendation?

    I tried it and completely didn't like it. I've never taken a class before either though. Whereas, a friend of mine doesn't like the Zumba for the Wii or Xbox but loves the class that she goes to weekly.

    I would rent it before purchasing.

    I have not tried the game, however i did try a live class and did not enjoy it. I think the marketing really inflates reasonable results and expectations and the clapping and chanting made it feel a little cultish to me. I will say this being coordinated doesn't seem to matter much with these games because I am not.
    I have a wii as well as the 360 and I use it really hard to get in extra cardio when I would rather be out having fun. And as it turns out it is fun. The dance games are great so maybe Zumba would be fun in the privacy of my own home or with a few girlfriends. If you aren't sure about grab a used copy at a game store if you hate it trade it in for something else.

    Zumba is fun, i just don't have time in my evenings to go to classes!!! I bought the game and it is hard to follow because it is not a real person doing it which makes it hard to follow. I'd rent it or borrow it first = )

    I have not tried the Zumba games, but I've been going to Zumba classes for about a month now. I am not coordinated either but it is really fun. It all depends on the instructor you have on the type of results you get, my instructor is awesome! We have all lost inches and weight and its sooo much fun - I love it!
