Zumba Total Transformation DVD's or Zumba for wii? Does anybody have any experience with both of these?

Hi Sarah! I have both of these programs, and I love both of them! Since you are already familiar with the moves for Zumba, you could probably get by with just getting the Zumba game (since it costs less). It offers both 20 and 45 minute workout programs on beginner, intermediate, and expert levels. There are several different workouts under each level you can complete so you won't get bored with them. That said, since I bought the DVD program, I haven't used the game much. I have never done zumba before getting the game or the DVDs, and the DVDs did a much better job of explaining the moves. Plus, it's fun watching actual people do the workouts! The Zumba Live workout is probably most like what you do at class because they literally get up on the stage and just dance- with no explanations or anything. The DVDs don't move along as quickly as the game does - the breaks between dances are slightly longer,whereas on the game you might have 5 seconds to catch your breath before getting cranked back up again. The workouts on the DVDs also come in the 20-60 minute range, so there is something for however you feel that day. Both the game and the DVDs have me sweating in no time, and both have me sore and feeling it the next day. If you don't mind shelling out the $60 plus dollars, then I would get the workout system, but if you really just want to zumba and don't care about it being very detailed then go with the game. Hope that helped some! :) Sarah

The game will teach the variety of steps before you can actually go along with the dance routines of the game. I recommend the game. I have a DVD for Zumba and I rarely put it in because the game is so much easier to follow along.

Yup! I have Wii games and DVDs on the one I bought. It should work great! Some DVD series that come in boxes might not fit, but take the boxes off, and you'll be set.

I have the fluidity barre and use it with my physique57 dvd's but I have also used the dvdks without the barre and had good results. I just started doing the monthly challenge and I'm already seeing results.

No, this was the best wii deal I found on internet. Go for it, I love mine.

I believe so, one of the DVD's breaks down the steps and all the others have the option of playing the DVD with or without verbal cue. Also they do have the Zumba Gold that is geared towards 60 year young adults. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as my daughter and I do!

I don't know but I wouldn't waste my money. You're better off buying a Zumba video without the annoying defective fake "game" function that just distracts you from learning the steps.

I'm not sure, but don't think so.I personaly didn't try the DVD for steps yet but the 20 minutes and 30 minutes DVD programs are awesome. I'm waiting for the end of snow shoeing season to start the Zumba steps program. Also, I have friends who took the Zumba steps training and they said that it really helps to loose weight at the bottom of our body.Good luck.

Personally, I'd buy both! Even though you are already flexible, I think you'd probably get a lot out of her stretching techniques in the first DVD, and then take it to the next level in the second. IMO!

of course it does. just because a wii-specific model is sold doesn't mean that their media is any different than that of any other dvd based system. they only changed the color of the unit to match the system.

They were different workouts. My dvd's stopped working with a newer dvd player. I've tried three, but they will not work any longer so I only used each one a few times before it went bust.

There are 3 CDS: The first one teaches you about nutrition, the moves, etc, The second CD is your Cardio workout with several dance moves in segments (Salsa, etc) The Third CD is for strength training (the set includes 2 fun lightweight dumbbells with what sounds like tiny seeds (fun)! If you're looking for something simple & easy on the body this is great. If you're used to excercise try the regular Zoomba program. I hope this helps!

Hi April, I think they are different. I have tried P90x and I didn't care for it. I had the bands to work with however were other equipment I didn't have that really made it hard to do the whole DVD. I wouldn't say one is better than the other I would just say which one is right for you. I really need to build up my cardio and that is what Insanity is doing for me. I also feel like insanity goes faster. I am already tired after the warm up but the DVD seems to go by faster. With P90X it seemed to drag but that could just be me. I haven't done P90x in almost 2 years.

Handbrake. Seriously, it's the only thing you'll ever need to convert DVD's - and best of all it's free. You'll have to rip the movie from the DVD first (assuming it's copyrighted).

I love the mini stepper. But I use it alone. I do not follow, the DVD at all.

Compared to the regular Zumba tapes, yes, these are slow placed---but these are set up for SENIORS!! I'm 68 and find these dvd's very invigorating!! the first dvd is instructional, teaching you the 5 different dance steps, and then trying them out. the 2nd dvd puts you thru the cardio (45 minutes with 7 minutes of warm-up and 8-minute cooldown. 3rd dvd is toning, so more invigorating. and Beto, the creator, is the instructor, with Joy Prouty as the senior instructor. I've shown it to my fellow residents here at my independent living complex and they find it quite invigorating!!!
