Zumba & wii fit results! plz!!

If you already have Zumba (I'm assuming on a DVD?), and if money is an issue, I wouldn't get the Wii Fit JUST for that. Perhaps if you plan on purchasing other games specifically for exercising and it will be a long term investment.

Just as an FYI, I take an intense Zumba class every Monday night at my gym and I usually average around 530 calories in 50 minutes. I have also used Zumba on my PS3 and I've burned a a little less than 150 calories in under 25 minutes. Everyone will be different. Good luck!

My gym membership is $20 a month and the best investment ever. I do zumba up to 4 times a week and have lost 42 pounds. i have added a few other things in like elliptical and 30 day shred, but zumba is the main thing i do and it works like a charm for melting off pounds. Cant really vouge for it on wii, but i like it at the gym better than the dvd's.

with zumba wii in a 23 minute session I have burned 176 calories.
in a 46 minute session I have burned 388 calories.
Everyone is different, I would say it is worth doing definitely. I have not tried the wii fit or whatever it is though.

I burn right around 500 in my Zumba class at the gym. Not sure about the wii version, like a PP said, you only burn as much as you put in and I'd think it would be easier to "fake" it, or do the motions smaller while on the wii. Personally, I bought the wii fit and I do use it occasionally, but it mainly is a dust collector. :laugh:

You don't have to gain weight during pregnancy in order to have a healthy pregnancy. If you are eating clean and work out a little it is still ok. Just don't train for a marathon or super intense workouts but you can certainly exercise while pregnant.

Why are you worried about results.. You're pregnant. Shouldn't you be worried about gaining a little weight and being healthy rather than burning many calories to stay small?

Just curious since you didn't give any background as to why you are curious about results and calories burned during such activities.

I do Wii Zumba almost every day. I have been doing it for a few weeks and love it. You burn a lot of calories IF you get all the steps down right and can follow along and put lots of effort into every move. If you struggle with the dance steps, then you won't burn half as much because you will be missing the movements and cardio that go into Zumba. If you are coordinated and can figure out all the steps, it is so fun. Wii Zumba does have a part for you to learn the steps. I didn't go to that section b/c I had already done Zumba in the past and remembered most the moves.

I usually do 40-45 minutes a day and put it down as about 550 calories burned. I go high intensity for all the songs so I'm probably burning more (i need to gulp 2 full bottles of water while working out) but I don't have a monitor to know for sure.

I'm seeing results. The weight is finally coming off and I'm feeling great.

I so AGREE with you about looking like a fool!!!! I love my Zumba Wii. I honestly don't know how many calories I burn when I do 40 minutes but, I will know tomorrow night when I do Zumba Wii because I was given a HRM (Heart Rate Monitor). Good luck to you on your weight loss goal!!!:happy:

If I were you, I would stick with a healthy diet of the food groups and walk daily. I don't know that it is wise to pick up zumba in your third trimester of pregnancy. Of course always check with your doctor. Word of the wise, The more walking you do, and the more active you are the easier your delivery will be. But I think I would stick with walking until you talk to your doctor.

I love doing Zumba WIi. You can customize your songs that it plays, and set it up so that you can do a quick 2 song workout or anywhere up to 10 or more! I usually go for 4-6, which is about 25 minutes. That's about all I can take at home with two little ones running around and trying to dodge them and their toys! Depending on the songs I choose, I burn from 383-505 during my 20-25 minute session. When I go to actual Zumba class (1-2 times a week), I burn about 800-850. That's a full, 50 minute class. And, I weigh about 260, the calories you burn depends on that. Anyway, highly recommend Zumba Wii, and Zumba in general!!
