Anyone tried it? I've never done Zumba before but since I can no longer do the 30 day Shred I'm looking for a new workout.
Is it worth the money?

    I have it and I enjoy it. It really is a great workout. I have yet to do it all the time, mainly due to me being lazy. lol.

    I do Zumba 2x/week at a gym and its a great workout. I have never tried it on a game system but I know people who have the DVDs and they also say its a great workout. Plus it breaks down the moves for you so you can grasp it faster and easier.

    I love Zumba! I currently do the DVDS and enjoy them. I used to take classes and loved those too!! I think that game should be fun!!!

    I wanted to let you know that Zumba is so much fun. I do not use it on the Ps3 but I actually go to the classes. I never was interested in really working out but Zumba is alot of fun and it doesn't make you feel that you are actually working out cause its upbeat music. I would really try if I were you it is a great workout...

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE ZUMBA, AND HAVE LOST 8 POUNDS SINCE DOING IT! I go to the class though, which is way more expensive than the DVD's. But the classes are awesome, there are plenty of women to keep you going in the class and lots of fun! If this helps any, i burn between 700-1000 calories in an hour of Zumba class! (i have an HRM) It's awesome! I reccomend going to a class in your area! Check your city's community center or if you go to a gym...they should have the classes for free at the gym with membership, depending on where you go. Good Luck!

    I do Zumba in a class twice a week. I have Zumba for Wii...but its just not as fun and motivating as going to the class. The instructor we have is awsome and it makes you want to come back for more.:love: I have lost 10 lbs since started back in Feb. Plus it is a high calorie burner! avg 500-1000 cal burned in 60min. I LOVE IT! You feel like your in a big dance class rather than excersizeing. Its a definate must do!!!

    I have it and love it! It keeps my heart rate up and I don't feel like an idiot when I mess up in my own living room as opposed to a crowded gym. It's really convenient especially on nights when I don't have a lot of time for a work out and driving to the gym. I usually burn about 500-600 calories in about 45 minutes. It's great because it has tutorials that break down the moves and as long as you keep moving and keep your heart rate up it's not as important if you miss a few moves or get a few wrong. I would definitely recommend it!

    I bought the zumba for PS3 for my wife.. she goes to the classes a couple of times a week, but sometimes it is impossible to make every class, and doing it at home on the PS3 is a great alternative. She enjoys doing zumba/ps3, and sometimes our step-daughter joins in. I have to admit, its fun to watch her do it because my wife is so darned cute.

    I have hip problems(they pop out of the socket), that's why I had to stop the Shred, do you think it would be an issue for Zumba?

    I have bursitis in the hips...It doesnt stop me from so it in fact the dr encourages it due to the strength training. Just know your limitations...like I cant jump so I alter the moves that make you jump...there is no wrong way of doing it as long as your moving you melt it off any way you can...MOVE is the key word

    I love Zumba I have started doing it back when the first DVDs came out and I lost weight doing it, than got pregnant for a second time and just got back into doing it again. I am doing the DVDs at home I bought the new ones with the zumba sticks and I love it. The videos are about 45 mins long and I usually burn anywhere from 400 to 500 calories I use a Polar FT4 to get an accurate calorie burn.

    I have to Zumba Wii game, the Exhilerate DVDs, and I go to class. I love all of them (the class the most), and the Wii game is fun, but I don't feel like I get as much out of it as I do the class and DVDs. Of course, it's better than nothing and I do think it's worth the money!! Enjoy everything Zumba, it's a lot of fun!
