What Wii Games help you lose weight?

Michael Jackson The Experience for the Wii is a great workout! I actually like it better than the Just Dance games.0

I decided on Just Dance 2 and I love it! Ive danced for 30 minutes before I know it and im sweating when Im done!
I wont use this as my primary workout but Its nice to change up my routine every once in awhile!0 -
I would have to say Just Dance 2 and Wii Zumba are a good workout. I have the Wii Fit and it gives you a little workout, but you can only stay on the aerobic exercises. Running for just 10 minutes burns 60 calories! I'd rather run on the road though. I hate running in place.0

I find the Wii Sports boxing is a great workout as long as you really put your back into it! I also like Just Dance 3.0

I will also jump on the Just Dance series bandwagon, as well as the Michael Jackson Experience and the Black Eyed Peas Experience. the latter two are a lot more difficult dancewise to catch onto than Just Dance, in my opinion. Very fun cardio that really makes you sweat. I love doing these on days I don't feel like really working out.
I also like The Biggest Loser "game." There are many different workout options (from length of workout to body area to intensity) as well as challenges. What's annoying about it is that you can't just be yourself -- you have to choose one of the contestants -- and the weigh ins don't really coincide with your actual weight. I use it more for the workouts than for any type of competition with myself.
My Fitness Coach is also really good. Again, you can choose your length of workout and area of body to focus on. It then customizes a workout, so no two workouts are ever the same. (Fantastic if you are like me and get bored easily with workout DVDs.) It learns based upon feedback you give about how you are feeling during the workout, so the workouts get more challenging as you go along. You can use a step, ball, weights, also with this if you have them.
Overall, the Wii Fit isn't a great workout if you are really looking to push yourself. (Although doing the Super Hula Hoop for many minutes does break a good sweat!) I like doing the yoga and strength exercises. A lot of the games really help with balance, core, and sort of generic strengthening. Also it's fun, and better than doing nothing.0
