Wii Zumba Crew

Because of some of the chatter here at MYP I thought I would buy Wii Zumba. I started it tonight and enjoyed it. I thought we could start a thread for anyone else who might be interested. A place to check in...questions that may pop up for newbies (like myself) - in hopes to find support, find like-minded friends here at MYP, and a place to be accountable, etc.

Let the party begin!

    I must say I had NEVER tried zumba because, lets face it, im lucky im coordinated enough to walk straight let alone dance with some sort of rhythm. But, honestly, I bought the Wii Zumba off of a friend that didnt like it, and its working.. really really well.

    And its so much fun! :)

    I'm hooked on it! Plus since I started two weeks ago I've lost 8lbs and I can really FEEL myself toning up. You'll have to let me know how your progress is with it

    LOl! I just got this yesterday and tried it last night.
    1 couldn't do the foot and arm work well and as I was getting it she changed to another move, but I improvised. I did 7 minutes and then had to pee from all the water I drank and couldn't breathe so took a break and then did another 8 minutes before dying!
    I like it, but somehow missed the tutorial, don't have the belt as I bought it off ebay and not sure really how much calories I burned.
    I also have More Active 2 and that has my leg muscles burning! and my ribs hurt the first time!! OUCH like for 3 days!

    The Easter Bunny put it in my basket, but my kids have stolen it as well as the candy! When I find it and get to try it I will be back! P.S. to the person who wants the manual, try searching the main nintendo site, many times manuals are posted for just that reason! good luck

    I love zumba on wii! even though i wish they actually broke down the harder steps a bit more but in general it is very easy to follow along. I do it when I cant make it to a class and I get such a good workout.

    I was just asking my daughter about getting the Wii Zumba to use on days I don't walk. My coordination is pretty "off" too. She suggested to get a DVD and try that first and I think I will. Any other suggestions are welcome!

    For my part, I play Wii Fitness / zumba. I love it, I prefer the intermediate sequences and expert, it moves more and the songs are very very catchy. This week, I give myself the challenge to do every morning (60 minutes), I managed to get to zumbathon and I'd do it every day I look forward to great results and now that i have my HRM, so I could more easily estimate my calories! ;)

    .... sorry if my english is not so clear, i come from Quebec ! ;)

    Day 2 of Zumba PS3......20minutes 363calories according to HRM! So much more fun than the treadmill! I have to "unlock" 10 sessions of Zumba party before I can "take a class". My lil 5 yr old daughter does this with me before school and loves it! I am not very coordinated yet but I sure sweat it up!! Not sore yet which is odd...cuz I am dripping when I am done!

    I am hoping for advice from people who have been able to get to wii zumbathon. I do the 45 minute wii zumba classes everyday, but I hadn't done any of the zumba party ones. Well, my friend and I want to get to some new stuff, so I've now done the Beginner 1 and 2 of the zumba party ones. The second one has a green checkmark, and I thought that meant that I needed to "pass" this one to unlock the next one, but no matter what, it hasn't changed. What do I need to do to unlock it and get to more stuff? Help please!
