Best Wii Exercise Games?

Rachaely

My mom is an exercise enthusiast as well, and loves her Wii Fit. I’d like to get her another Wii game for Christmas that is also fitness-related. Does anyone have suggestions for other Wii exercise games? I only know of Wii Fit Plus and Zumba.

Thanks!!

Wii Active. It's good, but can get a bit repetitive after a while.

They have the Biggest Loser games and a Jillian Michaels game as well.

I have posted this a few times - getting smart now and saving it so I can copy and paste. Hope it helps!

Here is my rating - on what I have:

Wii Fit Plus - GREAT for starting out. Started with Advanced Step. Now use it still for Free run, Free Step, Strength exercises and Boxing
EA Sports Active 2 - Different than Wii Fit Plus - a good workout! Challenges and workouts increase as you move from day to day! Combines strength and cardio
Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2010 - Good workout - I use the Total Body 1 and 2 mostly - combines strength and cardio
Biggest Loser for Wii - tried it out early on. I have a bad knee and there are some things that I can't or should not do. Good though
Zumba for Wii - NEW - Kicks my "behind" AND I have done the DVD's and take a weekly class. GREAT burn! Surprised that I burn as much as in the 60 min live class
Just Dance and Just Dance 2 – FUN - #2 is better. Not a workout DVD but it is a good workout if you have an HRM

I know the original Wii Biggest Loser is a good workout. The new Wii BL is on my Christmas list

I love the wii shape. Your on the tv, and it actually tells you if your doing it incorrect. it uses a camera, and every day the work outs change. I burn 400-500 cal in 30 min, and its fun.

Biggest loser was the hardest I had tried

I have a wii as well and love it! I have Wii fit and Wii active. I am hoping for a couple more this Christmas I love wii Fit for easy aerobic days. I am a stay at home mom, so it is perfect for nap time. Wii Active kicked my butt the first couple times I did it. I seriously had a hard time sitting down for a few days after using it I was so sore. It is fun, great for at home workout options, and even my husband likes to try and beat my score (which makes it even more challenging!

Wow that is quite the workout! Is it weird seeing yourself workout though?

Is this using a heart rate montior or what the game told you? I bust my butt at the gym & only burn 500-600 an HOUR doing hard cardio, and I think I'm a lot heavier than you...

Wii FitPlus would be great for our mom if she only has Wii Fit.

As well Just Dance 2, and Wii Active 2 are both really fun! The Wii Active 2 allows you to set up your own work out, and comes with a HRM that works with the system.

Sometimes we can get the whole family going on the active games.

You are a great daughter to be looking for an ideal gift for your mom! I am sure what ever you get her she will like it. :flowerforyou:
