My furkids Donating Member | I belonged to a gym years ago...lost 67 lbs and had toned up! didn't look too bad for a 40 yr old woman with 2 kids! (if I don't mind saying so myself! LOL). It's expensive to join a gym now...And I would much rather do it at home at my convenience. AND...I'm probably going to look like a fish out of water for a while! LOL..

| Haha I also have Your Shape which is actual workouts, like jumping jacks and stuff like that, and I MUCH prefer Zumba because it's more fun I make DH go upstairs or to the garage because I don't like him watching me get really into it lol

| I have the Zumba wii game, and LOVE it! I play every single day when I first wake up. make sure it comes with the belt...impossible to play and hold the wii remote at the same time, lol. Wii Fit is also good!!! I see that you did Just Dance 3...that's my favorite one so far! I own them all :P With the zumba game you can do half-classes to get used to the moves and figuring out the wii sensor...then work up to level 3 difficulty full classes, and you will seriously sweat! You get as much out of it as you put in!!

| I have a Wii and would love to to try the zumba or any of the exercise games, however I am on 24/7 oxygen for genertic breathing problems....can anyone suggest one that would be "low impact" I guess that I can use to help get rid of these extra pounds (40+) I have put on in the past 2 years...

| I work out every day with the wii fit, I've lost 35 lbs. doing this, but still need to lose a few and seem to be kinda stuck at this weight I am now. After reading some of these posts, I'm ready to try the zumba now, getting kinda bored with the wii fit. |

My furkids Donating Member | I bought the zumba 2....should have bought 1 first...it does have a practice screen that shows you the steps on slow speed then normal speed...I didn't have a problem doing most of those...however...when I tried to do the dance!!! OMG!! I was laughing so hard at myself!! I think maybe zumba 1 would be a little slower? I think I might buy that one.

| I don't have Zumba but I have the Wii Fit. I used to do it all the time. I really need to get back into it. I also have the Wii EA Active. They are both fun things to do! I should try Zumba too!
