    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 think rumba is just amazing! Doesn't even feel like your doing a workout, just feels like your having fun :D I think I could do it every day! :)

    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?

    Hello,
    I got the Zumba 2 for the wii for christmas and i started my workout plan this week. I was wondering how you know how many calories you burn? I know that at the end of your 20 minute session that it will give you points, is that the calories?

    Not sure what I am missing. I bought it, put it in and thought it was too much show. I didn't really do it though. But I sold it so maybe I should have given it another shot? :/ It seems like 99% of people that do it like it.....hmm...I was just distracted by all the "sets" and stuff. The graphics are better than the first one though!

    When I do Zumba on the Wii, I listen to my own music.

    I am definitely getting it, but going to make sure I am home alone when it happens LOL. If my kids saw me trying to Zumba, all the neighbors and family and friends would get a full description of what they witnessed and it wouldn't be pretty. I will be in my room with the door locked :laugh:

    it gives you points, accuracy, and calories burnt. theres another place that tells your accuracy, time, weight and calories burnt for that day. thats the best part, i dont have to add them all up it does it for me.

    I do it, its a great cardio routine, depending on the time i have, i would do the 20, or the 45 min workout, it burns a great amount of calories, and keeps you sweating! (:

    I love Zumba on the Wii! I also love Just Dance 3 on the Wii! They both burn lots of calories and are a lot of fun. Good luck!
