    Okay, now you've got me motivated to get out my zumba this week. I've been doing just dance 2 and riding the stationary bike. I love the dancing so much.

    Wow what a good incentive, I have both and really enjoy them when I do them, it's putting them on in the first place that I have trouble with!

    I will try and remember your post, and get on with it! Thank you :-)

    i have the same problem i love zumba for the kinect but its finding the motivation to put it on that i struggle with, also depends on what mood the dog is in as well as he likes to get in the way, or sneak up behind you and lick your leg (shudder)

    Wow! 2 times a day! That would kill me!!! Ive got a hrm and according to that i burn over 650 cals per 45 mins. Thats the average for a normal zumba class anyway. I got my hrm from tesco direct, its a kelly holmes one and its £26. Soo if your in the UK, you could get that, it works great for me :)

    Im in new zealand but im sure i could find an HRM here somewhere, maybe a sport shop like rebel will have them. I cant wait to find out how mych it burns. iv read on most sites that people can burn between 600 and 800cals doing zumba which is awesome! what are you logging it in your exercise diary under?

    Oooh i see, im Sure you will get one :)

    Before i had my hrm i logged it in as circuit training general as 45 mins says it burn over 500 cals, even tho u burn like over 600 but its more accurate than the dancing general excercise :)

    I do two classes a week at the gym, so I put on the expert mode on wii. I find this has longer and harder routines which I figure are better for burning more cals :)

    I love zumba too!!! I have it for PS3 and it has probably been the best motivator for me to actually start exercising! I never exercised before. When I was in high school I walked the timed mile, lol. But Zumba is just so much fun! It was difficult starting out for me, the first couple times cause I couldn't get the steps then the next few weeks because my body is just not used to the workout. But now I love it! I think I'm about ready to move up to the medium level now cause I didn't sweat near as much with the last one I did. I can't wait to see what the next routine is!
    My favorite part about it has to be that they do a really good job starting out working you, but not too hard, then it increases to extreme burn then has the perfect cool down. I've even recently started using 1lb handheld weights while doing the routine, I plan on moving up to 2lb weights soon.

    I've seen so many people talking about this, and just rumba in general. I think I'm going to pick it up to try it.

    i bought this game a few months ago, going back to work after mat leave meant i had no time to go to class. i was really surprised at how good this game is, its just like being at the class, and actually i think you may work a bit harder at home cos no one is watching you!! i do the expert one now, which i love, and really gets me sweating!
