Opinions??
I have Wii fit and Wii fit plus. I am looking for something new. I was looking at Wii Active but is it worth the $49? How about Zumba for the PS3? I would love your opinions on games for the Wii or PS3 not for videos as I have P90x and 30 day shred. The games are easier to fit in on busy days. Thank you in advance

Recommend a HRM, feeling clueless

I had the stupid impression that if it was a watch, it would have a sensor to read your HR from your wrist. Wrong.…

Variations in Wii Fit Calorie Counts
I do the same Wii fit strength training routine every morning but the calories it logs can vary by up to 10 calories. At 1st I thought it might not be counting some of my reps so I paid close attention and that doesn't seem to be the case. Anyone have any ideas why this might be occurring.
