Hi, I just started doing Zumba 2 on my Wii. It is so much fun and I sweat my butt off. I was wondering if there is anyone else out there that is doing Zumba at home with the Wii? If you are, how is it going? Have you lost weight, what other things are you doing to lose weight and keep the weight off. Please give me your input. Thanks!!!

    Hi, I just started doing Zumba 2 for the wii as well, so far it has helped me lose 12 lbs, and I have noticed a lot of changes to my body, in the fact I just look more toned. Hope it works well for you

    Hey Zumba on wii is fab. It certainly makes you sweat and lose loads of Cals. You'll see the benefit around week three.

    Good luck :)

    I LOVE zumba on wii - it's by far my favorite workout!!! It's so fun I actually look forward to it! I wear a bodymedia fit and I can see it burns a lot of calories for me and registers almost all as vigorous activity. Love it!

    I'm a Zumba freak. Before the New Year I was doing classes at the gym 2x a week but during Jan and Feb, I dont even try to go. I got Zumba last year for the wii and I love it! I do the intermediate 45 minute sessions and in 50 minutes burn 500-600 calories depending on how hard I get into it. In classes, I love striving to follow the instructor and I think the game mimics the craving to prove myself by getting the green instructor to flash. Thats how I know I'm doing it right (or close enough!).

    Would def. recommend it to others. I didnt know until yesterday that there was a Zumba 2 out there, I have the 1st one. Now I can't wait to get my hands on the next one!

    Is Zumba for Wii anything like in-person Zumba classes? I loved going to the Zumba classes at my college's gym last semester but this upcoming semester, they won't work in my schedule. Is the Wii game as intense and have as much variety as a class?

    I have Zumba for the Wii and do it once a week. I tend to switch my excercising from one thing to another to keep myself focused on my goal. I will go for a walk one night, do zumba the next, play wii fit, or play Just Dance 3 on the wii and Country Dance. I enjoy changing things up.

    OMG, I had one of the songs stuck in my head too. I was doing the movements in my head. The song name is making me draw a blank right now, but yes, they get jammed in your brain!

    I just started back doing it this week! I did it a few months ago, a few times a week and I managed to lose about 19lbs. That was with going to the gym some days and watching everything I ate as well.

    I am still using Zumba 1. How do you track calories on that one? Any help would be appreciated.

    I used www.zumbacalories.com to track. Now I have a HRM.

    I just got the Zumba 2 for Wii, and really like it. It's a great workout. I loved taking Zumba classes, but those aren't practical for me anymore.

    i got zumba 2 for chrismas and was super pumped to do it. Then i tried and i realise that i am SO WHITE. i seriously have 0 rythm and can not get these freaking moves figured out. I aslo got just dance 3 and i do like that you move alot and the moves are more basic for me to follow i guess. I just feel very very very uncoordinated when i play zumba

    So fun. Also got my copy for Christmas, and my daughter got a Wii :P
    I'm considering making her a kid-size belt (that doesn't have to be tied in a way to tear up the velcro) so we can play together. We also got Just Dance for Kids, and that's fun too.
    For now I have been trying to get my Zumba on while she is at school.

    I keep looking at it. I keep thinking about it. I might just have to do it. I think I'll but it tomorrow. How long are you guys doing it each time?
