Zumba Wii Review



Recommended Posts

I just bought the zumba game for the Wii. It comes with a belt that you slip the wii remote into. The belt size is about 50 inches but you could easily add more velcro. The game itself is a pretty good workout but if you don't like latin/international music I don't recommend it. I could see this game being hard for people who aren't coordinated on their feet. I used to dance/cheerlead so I picked up the dance moves pretty fast. I liked that you could choose between a single routine or a class session. Theres tons of different dances to choose from and each one has a beginner, intermediate and expert stage. A workout calendar is also programmed in the game that you can customize. I'd say this game is good for people who love to shake "it" and workout.

I originally got the Wiii Zumba and decided to trade it for the xbox kinetic Zumba, well...all I can say is that the reviews on Amazon were right, the sensor does not really follow you, like I'll walk off and go get a glass of Water and the thing is still saying: "Looking hot! You got it!" LOL seriously if i didn't love the latin beats I would go crazy, cause even if I don't follow her moves I still do my own and I am still burning caloriestongue.gif. Dance Central is by far the best when it comes to accuracy and making you wanna reach those levels, BUT nothing beats my Zumba at the Y! Live is best!

I'm not too coordinated right now (hopefully will be more after surgery and weight loss!), and the wii sensor isn't very accurate. I am holding on to it for the future.

Thanks for the review...I've been debating buying it for the Wii. I just have all those other Wii workout games that I have only used a few times, so I don't want to get Zumba and never use it. I have been wanting to go to Zumba at the Y, I just haven't worked up my nerve yet. Maybe when I get to ONE-derland I will go. It does look really fun!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
