Does zumba fitness really work on the wii and can i expect weight loss with 1300 calorie diet?

Any exercise: Where you burn off more calories than you take in will be successful for weight loss. I don't have enough information on you to tell you if 1300 calories/day is the correct level or not. If you're 5 feet 5 inches tall, the 1300 calories would probably allow 1/2 pound/week weight loss. Less weight loss if you're shorter; more if taller. More with more exercise. Check w/a good registered dietitian.

Zumba: Zumba is great but a 1300 calorie diet is not.Studies show that calorie restricted diets like this don't work in the long term, although you may be successful in the short term.Dont count calories, focus on the quality of food
