Sorry about that .....HRM stands for heart rate monitor. It's a device you wear that determines how many calories your burning.

Thanks so much for the info. I'm on a budget & was trying to decide if I should purchase the DVDs as well, but I think I'm going to stick with the game. I thought I was the only one who made up my only steps too :laugh: Yesterday was my rest day so today I will be back at it gettin my Zumba on :happy:

Awesome job! 2 hours of Zumba!!!! U go Girl!!!!!!:happy:

Wow! I have just dance 2 for Wii. I usually wear a HRM to help determine calories and time for the exercise. The points on the game are just that points that pick up your movement.

Question: Since you are doing both (Zumba Classes & Wii) Is there a difference between the classes & the game?

Keep up the good work guys! Glad to read more ppl are joining the challenge :laugh:

Zumba, has once again kicked my but :wink: Tonight I did the Beginner Class for 20 mins as well as, the Intermediate class for 20mins = 40 mins of pure ZUMBA.!!! I drank 1 pint of water before, during, and afterwards. Glad to read many of your posts regarding the challenge. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. TOGETHER WE ARE GONNA…

SLaw4215 Don't feel bad, energy points are just that points that your Wii picks up from your movement . I suggest you purchase a Heart Monitor to help you determine calories burned.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! We have Zumbaholics, Zumbattics etc...I LOVE IT!! Feel Free to add me as a friend...we all need to support & encouarge each other on this weight loss mission. As of yet, I haven't compeleted my Zumba workout for today but I've had my pedometer on this morning and will use it to my advantage when I log in my…

Kim131 you may have to update your system. For this you will need to be connected to the internet or call Nintendo and tell them your problem. I'm sure they will be able to help you upgrade your system

Ladies, try hitting the reset button your Wii. Sometimes what generally happens is that when you are finished using a Wii disk you many not shut it down properly etc. Either turn the device off for a few minutes and then turn it back on or just hit the RESET button. The Wii should recognize the exact type of disk you are…

Good Morning Fitness Pals, Just a reminder that today begins the ZUMBA FITNESS CHALLENGE!:happy: :happy: :happy: BE SURE TO LOG IN YOUR ZUMBA EXPERIENCE DAILY/WEEKLY

Wow! I'm really happy & excited that many of you will join the Zumba Fitness Challenge starting tomorrow. Like many of you, I have the Zumba for Wii, so that's how I will be getting my Zumba workout. I'm also delighted to hear many of you are taking classes and using other game systems to take part in the challenge. As, I…

I'm so glad many of you are up and have read about the Zumba Challenge. I suggest you have a heart rate monitor to determine calories burned etc, towel for working up a sweat, and plenty of H20 lol because your gonna need it:laugh: .

Thanks, I hope more join :smile:

Lived in New York City all my life but now reside in North Carolina

ASKING FOR SOMEONE TO CREATE THE WII FITNESS CHALLENGE RULES . ALTHOUGH I CAME UP WITH THE IDEA...I WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEONE WITH CHALLENGE EXPERIENCE TO INVENT THE RULES. SO WE CAN GET STARTED

Thanks @ dad106 for your post. I just ordered one from Walmart .com but if it gives me trouble I will simply return it and purchase one from heartratemontirosusa.com Thanks so much for the sites

Right now I'm on Walmart.com looking for Heart Rate Monitors. Hmm what other sites do u recommend

Thanks so much for your responses. The pedometer that I'm referring to was actually FREE. My local animal shelter donated them as an incentive to encourage ppl to walk the dogs in the pound. It's pretty good for walking it tells me the calories burned, km, and miles. My dilemma is when I work out using DVDs, and Wii…

Questions what is the difference bet a heart rate monitor vs. a pedometer? Currently I'm using a pedometer which gives me the calories burned, km, and miles...Do I need to purchase a heart rate monitor as well

Ladies Let's Do it! But since I'm new to the challenge rules, I suggest someone else come up with the regulations but I think we should start Monday. This will give ppl time to purchase the games.

When I do Zumba or any cardio workout. I wear a pedometer and it tells me how many calories I burned.

I've been a subscriber to Netflix for years and it makes complete sense to use what u have instead of purchasing more work out DVDS to eventually collect dust. Listed below are a few dvds I stream as well as, eating right, hitting the gym 2 days a week, and playing wii fitness games. Self Bikini Ready Fast Self Slim &…

To be honest with you ...I'm new at this but thought it would be a great idea to do a 30 day Zumba challenge or Just Dance challenge. I'm not sure how it will work perhaps you have some great ideas but I just thought it would be something fun to do to help with the weight loss that's all . let me know what u think

I love Zumba! It really makes you work up a sweat. The reality is that you have to find what works for you & DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!:happy:

sounds great! We really need each other in this battle with weight loss

Perhaps, your body in some strange way is not getting enough water. I know it sounds crazy but try adding something to your water like the flavored powder packs that come in a variety of flavors like kiwi strawberry, grape, cherry , etc... I trick my body into thinking I'm drinking something else when it's actually…
