My Review:
As many of you know, I gave birth to our second daughter back on 11/10, and since then I have been slowing getting back into a groove and trying to loose the excess baby weight. Thankfully, while I was in the final weeks of my pregnancy, I was sent a copy of Zumba Fitness 2 to review. I couldn’t wait for the baby to come, to try out this fitness game. After a week of resting, I was finally able to get a fitness regime, which included 30-45 minutes of Zumba Fitness 2, this past Monday. So, for the past few days, I have been using this Wii game, and have to say, I am feeling the burn, and having fun at the same time. After the 2 kids go down for bed, I pop in this game and unwind, while exercising.
I especially love the hit music that is included with this game, as it really makes me want to get up and dance. With various dance styles including Samba, Indian, Latin Pop and Merengue, it keeps my fitness routine fresh and fun. Another favorite feature is the progress tracker, which adds up the number of calories I have burned, grades the dance styles I have completed, and rounds out the tracker with trophies, stats and an overall rank, so I can track my progress, while working to reach my goal of losing the excess baby weight.
I have been having a blast with the Zumba Fitness 2 Wii game, and look forward to getting my dance on every night. Now, how is that for talking about wanting to exercise?! This game makes it fun and addicting.
So, if you have tried Zumba, love to dance and groove, and are looking for a unique and exhilarating way to lose weight while having fun, why not pick up a copy of this game today. You will be dancing off those excess pounds in no time.
Disclosure: I was sent a copy of this game from the vendor in order to write up an honest review. The views above are mine and mine alone.
