so i did my firt work out on zumba. It is really good. I burned 118 cals in 26 minutes - which firstly i was disappointed with myself as Ive seen other people record so many more cals doing it, but then it dawned on me - it was my first attempt and i didnt know the steps, im guess when i know what steps are coming next i can do it better

    You're right, once you learn the steps you will burn waaaay more calories!! I've never done it on Wii but that was my experience when I took classes. Have fun!

    Just keep it up. I sometimes do the previous move if I can't do the one that is currently being done. It is GREAT.

    Zumba is addictive.
    I do it with my two girls and it involves lots of laughter, falling over toes and basically FUN.

    like it so much the first time, ive just had another go!! Thats two 25 minute sessions in an hr. I am sweating so much, it is dripping off of me!!! :happy:

    Anyways second time i burned 129 cals in 24and a half mins

    first time was 118 cals in 26 and a half mins , so i did better 2nd time round and expect i will do even better next time :drinker:

    thats a total of 247 in 51 minutes. I dont think thats too bad.....

    averaging 4.8 cals a minute which would be 290 an hr. This is on easy mode!! cant wait to try hard mode. hahaha

    I love playing Zumba Wii. I don't play it often enough and don't have all of the moves down yet but it is definitely a workout! I like these dancing / high intensity cardio workouts on DVDs better than the gym! I find the gym to be boring so it's great that we have these workouts to do at home!

    I have a heart rate monitor that I wear for my workouts which counts my calories burned for me. You can also put it under dancing if you don't have a heart rate monitor.

    Once you start knowing the move and then start to up your time you will start to burn a lot more. When you start to do the 60 mintues you will sweat like crazy.

    I got mine for Christmas and I just started really doing it everyday. I love it so much. I can burn 250 calories in a little over 20 minutes. The moves are sexy and fun. The songs are great.

    I got Zumba 2 for the Wii for christmas and I have been doing it almost every day since I got it. I burn an insane amount of calories!! I even went and bought a HRM to make sure the game wasn't over exagerating the amount of calories I was buring. For example last night I did the full lenght (1 hour) class on medium intensity and burned 1250 calories! It has become somewhat addicting and can't wait to get home every day and throw on my Zumba clothes!!
