What Wii dance game should I buy

Sarahmeridith

I like working out with the Wii because I cant get to the gym (2 little ones and a very busy husband) and also my son usually will hold my extra wii remote and "exercise" with me, its so cute!

I want to try one of the dance games which ones do you use and like and why? I want one that will really make me sweat and burn calories; but I am not very cordinated and good at things like dancing so I want it to not be too difficult to understand so I can actually do it.

Thanks!

I have both Just Dance and Zumba for the Wii and burn about the same with both games. I like Zumba because it's upbeat, with Just Dance I usually sing along and really get into it. They are both good games!

I like Just Dance....it's only looking for if you're doing your hands/arms correctly, so you have to make sure you're moving your legs along with the game.

we have just dance 2, good game but some of the songs can be pretty annoying lol, it's great fun, especially if you can't dance like me

I really enjoy the Just Dance ones.. they are coming out with a 3rd soon.

The first is pretty easy, the second has more song selection and moves are a little harder. I'm not very coordinated either, so it takes me a few tried with each song, but it totally helped me last summer. I sweated my butt off with it when I was heavier. Now that I'm 40ish away from my goal, it's taking much more effort to burn

Good luck finding what's right for you!!

Zumba is awesome...I've also done Just Dance (1&2), and I have Gold's Gym Dance Workout (and I'm in love with it)

Wii dance is fun, but Wii Zumba is more! I can keep up with the dance, but the Zumba dance is faster & a little complicated... But it has a section where it teaches the steps.. it moves pretty fast even in that section, but over repetition, it gets easier~ and WOW you get a serious workout! I can only do about 8 min of it~

I really like Just Dance. It has an 'effort' tag for each song ... each song is a 1, 2, or 3 as far as effort goes. So I mix it up like this:

1
2
3
1
3
2
3
1

... etc. I do 10 rounds. I usually burn around 400 calories, and it's the added benefit of interval training, by mixing up and combining the difficulty. I love it!

Just Dance 2 has been perfect for me! You can chose easier of more difficult songs and it really makes you sweat! I am totally uncoordinated but I have a ball!

I have Wii Fit, EA Sports Active II, Wii Zumba, Just Dance 1 and 2, and Michael Jackson.

I haven't used Wii Fit yet, except in combination with EA Sports Active II. You might like EA Sports Active because it's not dancing and it's working out with a virtual personal trainer and it tracks your weight and your progress. But I found it to be a bit slow, and even on the hardest setting, the workout wasn't hard for me. Also, it was a pain to hold the wii controler while doing strength exercises with the band. I will stick with my Insanity DVDs instead of using that workout.

I can't stand Wii Zumba. I like to do zumba live, in a class. The user interface on the Wii Zumba game is just plain bad design. And the music selection is bad. I love Latin music. I even met my husband while Salsa dancing. But am very dissapointed with the song collection on Zumba.

My favorites are Michael Jackson and Just Dance 1 and 2. I enjoy doing these with my kids. They make me sweat while having fun. But I like to dance, and it seems you don't.

I use EA active 2 already, it kicks my butt! Just thinking of getting adance game to try something different.
