Going to "zumba" for the first time...

[Quelyn01 25]

Hey everyone!

So I purchased Zumba for the Wii (and the belt it came with actually fits around my waiste! lol). Does anyone use this and has it helped with your exercise?

I have never "Zumba'd" before, and I'm too scared to take a class in public!

I have been slacking big time with my walking and diet. It's no one's fault but my own, and it's very frustrating, sad, and depressing. I am out just over 6 months, and have lost 60lbs. I'd really like to talk off another 20lbs by my 30th birthday (April 1), but everytime I think I'm back on track, I slack off again.

Does anyone use Zumba on the Wii for exercise? Have you been successful with it?

Thats an excellent question.. I want to buy the wii zumba too but not sure what to expect.. my gym im going to go to offers zumba classes. not sure what to expect there either.. hopefully if I start there.. then the wii will be easier to follow.. I dunno.. maybe someone has tired that.. wish I could answer that for you.

I actually LOVE zumba wii its so much fun!!! becareful with how long you do it for because zumba is a high cardio workout you can burn what you take in, in just an hour workout. keep your Protein up and if you feel lightheaded stop. if your burning more than your taking in your body with go into the reserves and youll end up stalling. Have fun!!

I tried Zumba for Wii. I have absolutely no rhythm, none, zero, zip, nada...lol. I looked like an weirdo failing around in my living room. I figured I was still getting in a workout even if I wasn't doing the exact moves on the screen..lol. I'd never be able to take a class.

My wife and I love Zumba for Wii! She is awesome at it because Latin dancing is in her blood (even though she is Scandinavian). Me, I just try my best but look silly. We bought a groupon deal for couples zumba dancing. After the New year resolution people clear out, it should make for a pretty good set of date nights.

Love Zumba wii! You can adjust your pace with it, beginner, intermediate and expert level down the road. You can burn lots of calories and I even wear a 2lb wrist weight thingy to help tone my arms. . Plus you can do it at home which is such a big plus
