Zumba Fitness Core for Wii and Xbox 360 - Out Now!

As I write this blog post, I am 9 months pregnant.  After this baby is born - this weekend - I will need to get this body back into shape!  I have a big event coming up in May that will be my motivation for losing this baby weight - my sister-in-law's wedding!  I am a bridesmaid and I want to look good standing up there in front of my husband's family.  Luckily I will have some help with Zumba Fitness Core - available on Xbox 360 and Wii!  I received the Xbox 360 version to review, and although I haven't done very much of it - being largely pregnant and all, it looks like so much fun!  I've always wanted to sign up for a Zumba class, but we just never seem to have the extra money in our budget to allow me to do so.  So doing it in the comfort of my own home will be wonderful!  I also love that this is an indoor activity that I can do all winter long!


I love that you can play this game in 2 player mode.  Bella likes to dance and work out with me, so we will have tons of fun while getting in shape.  You can learn the steps with the tutorials which are very simple to follow.  Bella and I went through some tutorials so that we'll know what we are doing in the workouts.  There are 45 different classes, so we will never be bored!  You can customize your workouts and set your fitness goals.  Zumba music is so upbeat and the moves are so much fun, that you don't dread working out!  With Zumba Fitness Core it will be so much fun to get in shape!
