I just list it as dancing general. From what I can gather the cals come out less than those going to proper zumba class but i'd rather that than overestimating calories burned.
Ps I've been doing wii zumba for almost 2 weeks now and lost over 1 1/2 inches from my waist! My weight loss has increased by around 1/2 lb per week more as well. Completed intermediate moving onto pro today! Wish me luck!.....let's party
wow, how long do you play the game each day? Those are amazing results!
Hi Chantelle,
I started with the 20min classes for the first couple of days then quickly moved onto the 45minute one. I manage to do it at least 5 days out of 7 - so almost everyday. In fact it doesn't feel like a workout to me now as I love dancing around so I don't need any additional motiviation. I also drink over 2 large glasses of water during the workout & 1 glass to cool down after.
I shouls also say that on the 2 days where I didn't do the excercise I have eaten just carbs before it. I'm no scientist but I did read somewhere when eating carbs alone that can make you less active. They say carbs should always be eaten with a little protein. I think there is something in this theory. Now I make sure I don't eat just carbs as I want to maintain this commitment.
good luck, ps I got my from Amazon just £14. Money well spent!

Just got this game yesterday and day one was pretty fun but whew after 20 minutes on easy I was sweaty! It is a lot of very quick foot movements and I'm not the most coordinated person so it took a few reps to get t down. I know as I do it more it'll get easier, but coming from someone who has never attended a class or done a DVD it's totally doable. I skipped the tutorials (tried one and it annoyed me more than helped me so I said forget it!) I'm excited to start day 2!0

I just got this game also and really like it! I have been to Zumba classes and according to my heart rate monitor burned between 650-670 in the classes. With the game I burned 535 with a 45 minute and 20 minute workout (including cool downs). I think the difference in calorie burns comes from all of the jumping and hopping that I have done in Zumba classes where in the game, I don't do that. I love it though - No driving and I can just wear what I want0
