I have the Zumba for wii and I didnt really like it. It was very fast. you turn it on and the "person" just starts going and I find it hard to keep up. I end up looking like im runniing around my living like a moron LOL. I just ordered the transformation set which i am super excited about but i Havent gotten it yet. But nothing does beat a live class...I would say try to rent the game if you can before you buy it. Im sorry i bought it but i have friend who said she would buy it off of me. I hope this helps!

I would say to make sure you watch the instructional DVD a few times to get the moves down. Then move on to the beginner workouts. You can always lower your intensity on your workouts. Once you master the beginner workout, you can move into the harder workouts. Also, as a footnote, Zumba has a "Zumba Gold Baby Boomer" workout. It is a lower intensity, but it's great to get you used to Zumba and lowers your risk of being injured since the moves are done at a much lower intensity than regular Zumba. Good luck!

Did you buy a physical "DVD" game or did you by a download game? I have the physical DVD game and I do not need to use the disc (after initial installation) to play the game. I purchased it this way intentionally because some of the online downloaded games have to be run through an online server like Steam and there fore can only be played while you are on line (WIFI connected) and I use my laptop while traveling and seldom have a WIFI connection. Since you don't have an internal DVD player your options would be to buy an external USB player (they can be very inexpensive, from 19.99 up) to download a physical DVD of the game or buy an on line downloadable version.

So t17, do you have any advice about how to reasonably & inexpensively get digital videos made on a Flip onto DVD's? LUV LUV LUV the convenience of the Flip, but I was suprised that I can't just burn my videos to a DVD. Called Ritz Camera (at Flip's suggestion since they are 'authorized to create DVD's from the Flip'), and was shocked that I would need to give them the Flip for 10 days plus $29 for the first DVD and $15 for each subsequent copy. Yikes!! So to give my family (some of whom are elderly and don't have web access) 7 DVD copies of the cool little 18 minute movie I edited together from our July 4th party, I would have to spend $120! There's got to be a better way. Any suggestions?

I bought Zumba Gold because regular Zumba was too fast paced for me. I agree that it may be a bit slow paced, but you can learn the steps easier that way. I fell like you can get out of this what you are willing to put into it-- I think it was the only way I would have been able to learn the steps.

I didn't find anything wrong with the lyrics. Most are in spainsh anyway.I don't know about the wii game. Here's a link to listen to the music on the DVDS. http://www.zumba.com/pages/music-player.html or go to zumba.com and the player is bottom right.

I have only done Zumba at the gym and on the wii, so I can't speak to the DVD. I will say that I prefer going to the gym, but the wii game was a great alternative for me. I like the fact that it gives you some feedback on your performance (which you can't get with the DVD). The only thing that I will say negative is that the first Zumba Fitness for wii did not have the best graphics and therefore was hard to follow. Zumba Fitness 2 was a vast improvement (180 degrees). The graphics are much better and it have the cues on the side about what the next move is going to be.

It has the 3 main starter DVDs pulse two extra workouts to change it up. I haven't tried the two extra ones yet. I can say that the 3 main DVDs kicked my butt & I'm still trying to keep up. I have noticed a change in my backside just after a few weeks. My baby belly has shrunk too.

When I bought thorough Amazon, I got the DVD for less I think because the diet piece was not with it. Since I did not want the diet piece, it worked for me. I've been very satisified with what I got from Amazon. Maybe her website would promorte more contact?

I was not sent the Zumba Gold. I was sent the Zumba Exhilaration. I am trying my best to keep up with it. But what I wanted was the Zumba Gold! I would love to be able to complain it was too slow paced!

I don't think that there is really a change in the number of DVDs. They are just separating out the programs: 1) Scultp 1-2; 2) Sweat 1-2; 3) Sculpt 3-4; 4) Sweat 3,4; 5) Ab Ripper 100; 6) Ab Ripper 200. This is really two DVDs with Sculpt 1-2/Sweat 1-2/Ab Ripper 100 on one DVD and Sculpt 3-4/Sweat 3-4/Ab Ripper 200 on the other. Fat Burner Express is, perhaps, a 3rd DVD, and is new to the pack (I don't have it). As with most of these kinds of sites, BB wants to make it look like you're getting whole lot of stuff for your money. In this regard, the program guide, meal plan, and 6-day fat burning plan, are small pamphlets that could easily be turned into a single, short document. The success measurement card and tape measure are exactly what they sound like. The literature adds value to some degree, but the most helpful 'bonuses' would be the exercise band and the online access to the BB forums. (I can't comment on the Fat Burning Express video, as it was not part of the package when I bought P90 years ago) BB is big on hype and marketing. There's a lot of sizzle, but you also get the steak too. The workouts are the real thing and are a great place to start if you are working out for the first time. Good luck.

There are 5 DVDs: Quick Start to show how to do the steps PLUS a 20 Minute Express Workout Super Cardio Dance Party (fun) 30 Minute Burn PLUS Amazing Abs Zumba Max (for maximum calorie burn) Zumba Step So you have MANY workouts to choose from. Plus you get the step and 3 program guides and a nutrition book! It's packed full of goodies! All useful! I really like mine!

The only difference between this DVD set, (5 discs), and the larger set, (7 discs), is this "Multi-Small" one is missing the Zumba Concert disc and it also does not contain the "Santao" (chair) workout. If those 2 things don't matter to you, than the smaller set is a better buy. You still get the toning sticks, the workout guide with recipes and diet plans and all of the actual workout discs including the step by step disc for beginners. If you've never done Zumba before, it's a good idea to do the step by step first so you know what to do when using the other workout discs. I have the Multi-Small version because I didn't care about the concert video and when I purchased it, the price difference between the 2 sets was about $70.00. I am very happy with this set. I started out using the game version for the Wii player and grew tired of the game & scoring format. I also wanted to see actual human beings as instructors rather than the colorful shadows used in the game. It's also nice to not have to deal with a remote controller just to excerise.
