I have wii fit, and I'm not a fan. It doesn't challenge me. I've heard of the EA Sports game, the new Biggest Loser game... etc.

Does anyone have any good suggestions for that? With or without the board. Thanks!

    The Biggest Loser Challenge is a good one.

    I just got EA Sports Active 2 on Sunday, and I've used it every day this week. I really like it. You can follow the programs (30-day cardio kick start or 90 day... um... I forget what that one's called), and/or you can do just a regular workout that you can set up or have the game generate for you. If you generate a workout, you can choose the length, so if you only have 15 minutes, you can do a short one, or longer if you want. It has different levels, so like for me I'm doing the "easy" workouts right now because I'm not in shape -- but they're certainly not slug workouts, even on easy mode. :laugh: Definitely a challenge, and you can increase the intensity as you get more fit. You can use the balance board if you like, but you don't have to.

    I do like the Fit Plus, but I think I like Active 2 even better. It's just a different kind of workout. I highly recommend it.

    Just Dance 2 is a riot, and a workout.

    I have wii fit and wii fit plus, and I am also not a fan. It's to disjointed. But I have also tried quite a few others. My favourite is EA sports active (the first one) and the follow up called 'EA sprts active more workouts'. They have complete workouts with lots of variety. I also like My fitness coach cardio (boxing based) and I recently bought the my fitness coach dance workouts which is also good. These are all reasonably priced and you can use the balance board or not (I don't bother). I haven't tried the EA sorts active 2 which comes with a HRM and is therfore considerably more expensive.

    Hope this helps

    I have the Wii Active (first one), and it could be challenging depending on if you chose easy, medium, or hard. I also have Just Dance 2 which is fun and doesn't feel like your working out. Wii also came out with Zumba but I don't have it, but a lot of people like it. I also have one of the biggest loser games, and that reminds me that I need to do it! Hope that helps :)

    I agree, zumba and just dance 2. I do the just dance 2 for an hour and a half and then do the 30 day shred dvd. Great work out combo and it feels like I worked out for 30 min.!

    I have been using EA Sports Active 2 for a month now and I LOVE IT. A lot of flexibility so you won't get bored. I customized a step style workout that I do most days but love the fact I can easily choose a different workout if I need a change.

    Between working out and portion control dieting I have lost 7 pounds this year so far!

    I have the EA Active 2. I love, love, love it. I have it set at the hardest level because I can't workout without being chalenged. The workouts are great and you burn way more than it tells you you are burning. I know this because in addition to the heart monitor you where to do the workout I wear my own heart monitor with the chest strap.

    I have wii Active and just completed the beginner 30 challenge and started beginner again as I'm old and fat...and WAY out of shape. I know that I'm getting more fit because shoveling snow yesterday was easier for me than last year.:smile:
    But, the most important thing is that I actually DO it and KEEP at it.....I have videos but they bore me after about a week.....so I usually quit doing them.....this I have fun with.....and you can yell at the trainer and she doesn't yell back.....:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I consider myself to be fit and I only occasionally play my Wii but I got the old version of the biggest loser game and yesterday I did the lower body workout, highest intensity for 48 minutes and burned almost 700 calories! that is pretty much equal to what I burn in a 45 minute kickbox or spinning class! I was so shocked! I was reallly feeling the burn! :)

    I'm looking for games too. Right now we only have the Wii Sports game (that comes with the system) so I do tennis and boxing on that. But, I know if I get a game that is too intense and difficult, that I won't do it. I need something that challenges me, but not to the point that I hate doing it.
