Zumba Fitness: Join the Party! For Nintendo Wii (Review & Giveaway)

A Little Bit About Zumba for Nintendo Wii

Zumba Fitness uses the motion sensing capabilities of the Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus controller to bring steamy, calorie-burning moves to the TV screen. The game's primary play mechanic is the replication by the player(s) in real-time of body moves that are demonstrated by an on-screen virtual instructor. The core-centric nature of these moves means that gameplay for each player requires only one controller, which is enclosed in the exclusive Wii Remote belt included with the game. (The belt is also compatible with the Wii Remote Plus controller) On-screen color changes to a representation of the player in-game alerts you to the accuracy of your moves, while a countdown clock keeps you constantly updated on the time remaining in the routine. Zumba Fitness also includes fan favorite Zumba instructors Tanya, Gina and Zumba's creator Beto, who together guide you through more than 30 routines that will make you forget you are even exercising. Together with four-player support allowing a friends join in the workout and an ever-present, infectious Latin groove, players have all that they need to dance the weight off and have a blast doing it.

My Experience

Having had the opportunity to try out a Zumba Fitness DVD a while back, I was excited to check out the Zumba Fitness on our Wii! I admittedly have issues with rhythm (my dancing skills are beyond lacking) and in addition to losing inches and getting myself in better shape, I would also love to gain some new moves in the process!

By simply placing the Wii remote into the included belt (with Velcro closure) your movements are tracked, and you can earn points to essentially "win"....but your winning either way in my opinion, as your working out & getting into shape! Zumba Fitness for Nintendo Wii is a BLAST! I am having so much fun dancing the pounds & inches off! Fitness + FUN, can't ask for more than that!
