Zumba!

What is the difference between zumba and that p9 thing? I keep hearing about both of these and I have no idea which really is better for me. Either people are confused and saying the are the same or I am reading horrible reviews on them.

I love Zumba, but I prefer to take the live classes instead of playing it as a video game, because the live classes change the dance routine every few classes, but the video game is always the same. It didn't take long for me to get tired of doing the same routine over and over again.

I have it now and I love it too. Everything hurts the next day not just my hips. I know its working though! I love the game and so do my kids! Its a sweaty game that is for sure. You are constantly moving. I love the music too, very uplifting.

Everything I have read about it is that its kinda just like dance workouts, but I am not sure if that can translate into everything other people need (like straight losing weight or toning). What else can you do with it?

[France9]

You can drop weight if you do it each night. The PX90 workout and the Zumba kinect game are very different. If you are looking for a workout - you would want to buy the Zumba DVDs not the game. The game is fun and it's certainly a workout but not like the DVDs (or actual class). The game and the DVDs help with toning. You work your inner thighs, hips, legs, butt and even arms.

We are still thinking about the Kinect deal but oi! Another gaming system in the house and the only issue is to use it right we will need to move the living room table every single time we play it. I kind of wish the TV stand had a pivot on it or something to make it easier. How many calories can you burn in say 30 minutes?

In a class you can burn up to 1,000 calories an hour (high intense Cardio zumba). I'm not sure how many you can burn with the Zumba kinect game. I do know that it's a sweaty mess! So you have to be burning something.
