I keep looking at the Wii fitness but i'm not sure if it will be a waste of money, Any opinions? I've also heard just dance is a great workout.

    I love the yoga on the wii fit. I do 30-40 minutes approx 3-4 times week.

    I have a wii fit, it's fun but can get boring quick. I tried Just Dance at a friend's house and had a lot more fun and a good burn.

    I love the wii fit! Island cycling is my favorite, but I like the yoga and strength training workouts too!

    I use the NFL Training Camp. It is a 60 day workout and it has 3 different intensity workouts. I am almost halfway done with the medium workout. After this is finished is when I will be running on the roads more. You can also create workouts. I plan on using this option to work on toning my stomach and arms.

    The Wii Fit was a lot of fun, and it was a great start at a time I wasn't ready to do any "serious" exercise, but I only used it for a few months and I wouldn't suggest it as a long term fitness programme.

    If you can afford it, go for it. If you don't already have a Wii and buying one would be a major financial commitment for you, I'd think twice about its value for money.

    The wii fit plus is fun - I use some of them as warm-ups for the Gold's Gym Cardio boxing workout (also on wii, and compatible with the balance board). It's also a great way to get the heck out of the kitchen after dinner, and to have friendly competitions in the house - we all have our strong points and it's fun to try to catch up with each other.

    I'd say it's a good starting point. And I use the balance board to weigh every week. Just Dance 2 is also tons of fun - you just have to make sure you're moving your legs, too - I have a bad habit of just moving my arms around and thinking I'm doing it perfectly.

    The wii fit is okay. I like the weight log/chart on it, and the exercises are interesting enough to keep me going. It just isn't quite as intense as I like. The Jillian Michaels fitness ultimatum 2011 for wii gets my heart rate up, and I feel like I've gotten a good workout. Sometimes the tracking on the remote is off, though, and that is very frustrating. Jillian's workout is more circuit training, which I like.

    I have done Just Dance for the xbox and wii. Yea love it :) I love to dance so I was doing it alot. An, theres and option on there where you can like see how many calories your burning and your heart rate. I've been thinking about getting the wii fit as well. Right now I'm using on the wii Your Shape featuring Jenny McCarthy. That kicks my butt. It comes with a camera so know your doing the moves right. Also helps you choose when and what work outs your gonna do. I really like this as well. Hope that was a little help.

    Wii Fit is okay when you start out but I have since moved onto Wii Golds Gym Boxing and Wii Active 2. Much better workouts.

    I also do Dance 2 which is a Challenge here on this

    Its fun!!

    I have wii fit plus....love it...since I get bored easily I can move on to something else quickly. I als bought a riser for the board so that when doing the advance step or basic step I get a better workout. I also have EA sports Active 2, comes with heart rate monitro and leg strap...I heard EA Active one you had to use the nunchuck in this leg strap thingy...but with 2 you don't.

    Just recently got Golds Gym Cardio and it is great fun... I am sore today cause I did an hour of it yesterday get familiar with it. Lots of boxing which I love on the wii fit plus (but fit boxing is so limited). I also sometimes us a game called Walk It out for the WII. But instead of walking on the board or in place I prefer the mini trampoline to get a better workout...not to mention it is just fun jumping on a trampoline in the house LOL.
