Wii Exercise Games - Any Advice?

NlKKA

Ok pals I'm in need of your help! I started the Biggest Loser (THE ORIGINAL GAME) on the Wii and I so forgot that it does not calculate the calories burned correctly. I need a Wii exercise game that I can do a 4-8 week challenge on that will calculate calories well. Any advice? I so need to start this challenge no later than April 11th. In the meanwhile I'm training for the 10k. By the way I just finished the EA Active More Workouts 6 week challenge.

I have the golds gym dance that you can set for a week 2 weeks up to 8 weeks..I think!! They get progressily harder and longer as you go! I also do the NFL Challenge it comes with a HR monitor..it keeps track of your HR and your calories burned!..It also gets progressily harder as you go! I am currently doing both programs!! Good luck!

Wii Fit Active 2 by EA Sports! Best fitness game across the board for the Wii PS3 and Xbox. It comes with its own motion sensors that your calibrate with your Wii's motion bar so you don't need the Wii mote for most of the exercises. Also the game comes with your own "personal" fitness trainer to push you. It also comes with its own HRM so you can accurately count calories burn. Lots of variety you will never be board. Also it has a 9 week fitness program in it.

The game will not track your calories but if you have a heart rate monitor you can try Just Dance. Its a great workout!

I have Gold's gym cardio work out. It is basically cardio shape boxing. The calorie counts in the game are reasonably close to my HRM when I wear it

I don't know about the goals etc., but I just recently got Jillian Michael's Ultimatum 2011 with the "mission mode", and according to my HRM I'm getting a nice calorie burn, with a little strength training mixed in. It's also fun to have a goal to work toward (finishing the mission). I'll click "start again" over and over, just trying to beat the level, and soon 45+ minutes have gone by and I'm sweating, but still want to go on, just to "get farther" in the game. I have to make myself stop. Sometimes I get a little frustrated by the controller, though.

I didn't even think about the HR monitor!!!

I bought the AE active sports gam for my wii....and haven't even used it yet! Now I am gonna have to break it out!

If you have a Heart Rate Monitor that calculates calories burned, you could use it for just about any exercise or game, Wii or not.

To Wii or not to Wii..... that is the question...lol (sorry, couldn't resist) :happy:
