This is SO good! Fun, easy to follow & a great calorie burner!

Never before have I done an exercise dvd/class & thought "I can't wait to do it again' Not that I think I could right now!! It's a proper work out. I could feel my muscles burning!! Well worth the £20 :o)

That's all!:laugh:

    Hi :)

    I wasn't sure if it'd be any good!! Have you been to a Zumba class before?
    I might just brave the weather and go out and buy it today!!

    Does it show you how many calories you've burnt??

    I :heart: my Wii Zumba.
    I log my 40 minute sessions as Dance and that give me 300 or so calories but In one of these threads there is a zumba calorie calculator. I swim when I can but on the days I don't I do this or Wii step depending on how energetic I feel:laugh:

    I was so tempted to buy that! But i wasnt sure if it'd be like the wii fit where you have to work out for 6 hours to burn 100 calories!! But the zumba classes around this area are sooo expensive...

    I love my Wii Zumba its a much higher calorie burn than Wii Fit and i am drenched after 2 20 minute classes. The music is great also, Honestly its like having a good old dance rather than exercising.
    Totally worth the cost. It doesnt give you an amount of calories youve burned but i use a Heart Rate monitor and average around 400 for 40 minutes.
    I cant rave enough about it all my weight has come off from my middle too which people say is the hardest place to shift.

    This site gives you a good idea based on your weight , time exercising and the intensity of your workout of how many calories you will burn doing Zumba.
    Hope this helps

    I'm not alone then!!:wink:
    I was worried about lack of space as our lounge is quite small but I managed it with my 2 daughters joining in as well!

    I was advised to log it under aerobic high impact. Found it better than any wii fit game.
    I could feel which muscles I was using, and it includes arms and a warm down and water breaks!! I Love it!:love: (can you tell?):laugh:

    I bought it on Saturday and have used it every night bar last night (as i had done badminton and a 30 minute run!). I absolutely love it, i use to perform on stage before the group stopped so its my way of getting back into dancing without having to fork out for classes!

    £25 well spent in my eyes!! I've only done the single player nightclub section which is 4 minute dances and you get points...i'm intreigued of where you get the 20 minute ones so i'll have to have a nosey tonight...if i can get two 20 minute sessions in this evening hopefully that will help for my weigh in tomorrow morning!

    I don't have the wii game, but I do have the DVDs!
    I love my 20-minute express one.
    I do it every single morning.
    I can't live without it!
    It's great to get me awake and active.
    Plus I really feel like it's working my middle.
    And I definitely need to shed some weight off these hips! Haha.

    Go Zumba!! [;

    I have this - I've done it twice. I really like it, just wish I was more coordinated. :laugh: I used my HRM last nite and burned 309 calories doing 20 min of zumba and 10 min of Wii Fit Strength.

    wow didn't realise it was that high a calorie burner :o) Can't wait for my HRM to arrive and start using it, at the moment i'm not eating my exercise calories incase it over estimates!

    Is the wii zumba really high impact? I've had a knee replacement and have to limit impact exercise. Getting tired
    of my bike and eliptical.

    I just bought mine and did it twice now. I had my HRM on and it said I burned 300 calories in 20 minutes. I believe it. I was dripping with sweat! It's fun too. I just need to get a lot more coordinated, but moving is moving right?
