I was just wondering who out there has had successful weight loss by playing certain Wii games ( the ones geared toward exercise and fitness) I have noticed I have been playing Wii Sports can get my heart rate going after about 40 min of playing...but it is starting to get old.

So Let me know what works for you!!!!

    i've been using the wii fit for about 3.5-4 weeks now. i do the aerobics - running in place (long distance) twice, the hula hoop, then the yoga (about 5 or 6 different poses) to warm up. i also do a bunch of the strength training.

    i love it. i've lost about a pound a week so far. and even though the yoga kicks your BUTT if you're not in shape, after a week or two, its SUCH a good feeling to see that you can actually do the poses without strain anymore, and that motivates you even more! plus it monitors your progress. gives you a body test daily, telling you your BMI and weight.

    so ultimately, i like the wii fit, as far as cardio, however, unless you like running in place, i'd consider a treadmill or something of that sort. :wink:

    I enjoy the tennis on wii sports, but I love my wii fit!!! The hula hoop is fun, the advanced step routine gets my heartrate up a bit, and I just unlocked a boxing routine that also is some nice cardio.

    Good job and keep up the success!!! :flowerforyou:

    the jillian michale's game (ultimatum?) did not get good reviews. most people said it was slow to respond and just programed poorly.

    there are a ton of people that I have seen here that have and love my fitness coach. ive er seen it.

    my friend has the weight loss coach and she seems to like it ok though i guess it comes with a pedometer that doesnt work very well
