    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.

    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.

    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!

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

    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.

    I really don't like the Zumba games =\ I tried the demo on Kinect and it was pretty bad.

    @jayneoh - Another member wrote this below, she tested it on her HRM and it was pretty exact.
    I have it ! im 2 days in & I LOVE IT !!! i wear my HRM check my pulse before i start and after each routine and its pretty accurate to the games stats of how many calories i burn , i highly recommend it !

    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.

    I have both games and I have to say that I like the second one better. Like others have said the interface is so much better and I feel like you can follow the movements alot easier. I also do the Exhilarate DVD program twice a week after work with some of my co-workers and I really like that one as well.

    Can't remember on the first one but once you finish a class on the 2 it shows you your statistics for the class, calories burned, how many stars out of 5 you got, how many points and your percentage of the technique. It should be in the menu also so you can track what you are doing each day or every time you play it.

    I have it. I'm not very coordinated and have no rhythm so I got discouraged. I'm going to give it another try since Zumba Fitness 2 is out now.
