    I had it for PS3....I loved it. I traded it in for Just Dance 3 cause I was ready for a change....Done the Zumba for about 9 months.

    Where does it show you how many calories you should have burned? I have been doing it for a few weeks now and love it but just have been guess on the calories.

    I have the 2nd Zumba game for the Wii and I love it! I was really disappointed in the first one.

    I bought it and resold it on ebay the same day. I tried it and it just wasn't for me. Good luck though, I have several friends that love it!

    I like real zumba. I was really disappointed in the Wii zumba. A friend has it for Kinect and its better there, but I prefer doing Zumba to real songs, not their soundtrack.

    I do Just Dance 3 on Wii and I love it!. I've lost 19.5 lbs since December 26th. I cant have it feel like I'm working out, I have be having fun while doing it. I'm getting the Zumba and Black Eyed Peas Experience soon! Have fun!

    I was wondering if the calories burned were correct, so thank you for telling me your HRM matched what the Wii Zumba game said!

    Love it, love it. Have both Zumba and Zumba Fitness 2, 2 is great. I do it daily as well as attend live classes 2 x a week. I also have the DVD's which are a nice change up between the wii games. I am a Zumba addict!!!

    I have used it for 2 weeks, from the start of my diet. I try and do it 3-4 times per week for 30 minutes after work. It is great fun and seems difficult to keep up with but I just picked the songs I liked learned in time with the music and caught on quickly. I do not believe the calories it tells me I burn. It said after 30 minutes doing a custom playlist of 1 warm up, 1 medium, 4 intense and 1 cool down I burn 519 calories. I dont believe it is that much but I dont mind as its fun and gets you moving!!

    I bought the Wii Zumba a week ago and have been using it quite a bit. It is really fun and so easy to get some exercise in quickly while the kids are around (they like to try and do it too!). I'm so happy to hear from one of the other posters that the calorie counts are pretty accurate, since I was wondering about that. Also, for the poster who was asking how much it is: I bought mine in Canadian Costco for $36.

    @jayneoh - Another member wrote this below, she tested it on her HRM and it was pretty exact.

    I have been using the Zumba 2 for Wii for a couple of months. I like it much better than the DVDs, but either I am completely uncoordinated (quite possible) or the sensor doesn't catch "stuff". Regardless, the time goes quickly and it's a good change from my elliptical. I am not a class person so for me, it works well since the chances are close to zero that I'd do a Zumba class at my gym, which is full of young things.

    zumba 2 has the calories that you've burned on it. zumba 1 doesn't. I prefer zumba 2 over one anyday!!!

    you can go check your profile and there should be icons for weight, and so forth as well as how many calories you burn , not sure if its the same for zumba 1 but i have the new edition and it works , but to each their own i feel it every time i do it in my lower body and its fun!

    I'm was thinking of buying the Wii Zumba and after these comments, I think I'm gonna give it a whirl. I just started going to classes and I love it. It's not like exercise at all because it's so fun to do.

    Same here, I'm just not co-ordinated enough for it. Although I love the wii fit plus game!

    I have zumba and just dance 3 for the Wii, and I love them both, they are so much fun and a great workout! :)

    Zumba on Wii is pretty good, however if you have a zumba class nearby, I would recommend that this is far more effective. Not only do you meet more people( and find out that you are not as uncoordinated as you think you are!), but you excercise much harder than you do on your own. I find that I push myself a lot more, and the results have been showing.:smile:

    I love Wii Zumba Fitness 2, and I swear by it! I'm competitive with myself, and it pushes me to beat my own high score. The thing about Zumba is if you're moving - you're burning calories.. even if you aren't doing it exactly like they are. I have the original version of zumba, and the new exhilerate program - but I prefer the Wii version.

    Did you use your HRM on the original Wii Zumba or Zumba 2? Just curious, I have the original and am just getting started on it but a friend has Zumba 2 and says it has a better interface.
