    I picked it up a while back, finally get to the point where I use it on a regular basis. Once I got used to it I love it, i also recently started with the EA Sports Active 2 on the Wii, highly recommend that one as well

    Zumba on the Wii is a GREAT time!! It has a ton of different settings, amount of time you want to exercise, and varying levels. I really enjoy it! I'm sure you will too!! Oh, and it won't kill you, you can start with 20 mins of dance or go all out with 45 mins. Definitely rent it to see if you like it!!

    I have Zumba on the Wii and personally I was very disappointed and I love zumba. I think the Just Dance games are by far more entertaining. Treat yourself to Just Dance 3 if you haven't got that one yet, or theres also a Summer Hits or something like that of the Just Dance which has all the songs that you could download from your wii but on one game.

    Its great! I go to Zumba once a week at my gym and prior to having the game I was a ridiculous fool, I am still a ridiculous fool but now I have a bit better knowledge of the steps since I can do it at home too.

    There are introductory tutorials, and then begginer, intermediate, expert levels as well. If you have never done zumba and you are un-coordinated like me try not doing the arms, just get the feet under control first and then start adding in the arm movements.

    I have Just Dance 2 and love it, but I sweat a lot more when I am doing Zumba. . One thing with Zumba is it is continuous with no breaks to change songs. . .

    Now they have ZUMBA 2 and I want it so bad. . . . They have a JD3 to that I would like. . My daughter loves doing both with me. . so it's all good.

    I just got Zumba 2 for the Wii last week and I love it, even though I have two left feet. Lol you wear a belt and in the belt there is a pocket that you put the remote into. It will tell you how many calories you burn after each class or song. It has short classes, that last approximately 20 min. I haven't tried the longer classes yet, I'm still trying to get the moves right.

    Zumba is sooo much fun. I both the first and the second Zumba for Wii and love them both. They give you a good workout. Not as good as the dvds but good enough in my book.

    I have the same problem, but I never thought I was a bad dancer, or uncoordinated, until I started Zumba fitness on the wii. I love it, it's just hard to stay on track and move at the speed that the game moves - I definitely get a workout though

    I usually put it in my diary as dancing, however there are websites you can go to to figure out your calories such as this :

    hope this helps
