in Fitness and Exercise
I really enjoy playing Just Dance 2 on our Wii so I thought that I could also purchase other games as well to supplement my exercise. I just noticed just how many fitness games there are!

Jillian Michaels, Biggest Loser, EA Active, Wii Fit.. the list goes on and on!

Before I spend money on something I may not even like, I figured I'd ask you all what your favorite Wii fitness games where and what portion of your daily exercise it is.

    I use all 3 of the EA Active games. They r fun and show how many calories you are burning which really motivates me. And you can burn a lot of calories doing those ones. I also have the wii fit for when I just want to have fun or need a light workout or just to switch it up a bit

    I like the Wii Fit games the best. There's a variety of games that work different areas of the body. I don't notice that I'm working out, only that I'm having fun.

    I have Just Dance 2 and love it. It's alot of fun, you can definitely work up a sweat and best of all, it doesn't feel like working out!

    Looking forward to trying some of the others.. thinking of getting either Zumba or Wii Fit.

    I have the Wii Fit Plus and I love it! It is my main source for working out! I wanted to get the Wii Zumba but everyone around here is sold out so I bought Dance Workout, I dont really like it too much. It starts out really fast and there is not much of a learning period on it. Good Luck!! :)

    If you decide to get Wii Fit, I would suggest that you get Wii Fit Plus instead of the original. You can create personalized workouts in Plus that you couldn't do in the original, as well as using pre-made routines to target certain areas if you like. With the original, you have to choose each individual exercise one at a time, so you spend as much time picking the next activity as you do actually exercising. It was frustrating. Plus is awesome though. :)

    I have the Jillian Michaels Ultimatium 2010 and I really like it. But now its pretty disciplined and can be hard if you like that more disciplened stuff. I have been doing it since 12-26-10 and I have lost 7 pounds total. I have lost about 9 inches all around too! There is a new game out its the 2011 version and I want it you complete like a mission to save a city and dont realize your working out.
