Wii Work Outs?

Eve53

Lately I've gotten back into working out with my Wii, mostly because of the weather change and because I'm out of work right now. Anyways, I have Wii Fit, and the Jillian Michael's Fitness Ultimatum 2009. Are there any others you all recommend? How do you log your work outs?

I've tried Zumba videos and it isn't my cup of tea, but maybe if it was made into a game with like challenges and stuff I'd like it. Is the Wii Zumba like that?

I'm new to using the wii fitness plus board. I'm having fun exploring the options for exercise and toning etc.
The calories burned are given on the screen. I've created the wii exercise in my exercise diary and log time and calories burned as shown each day on the wii.
I need to get a HR monitor too for live zumba class. I am toying with the idea if getting zumba for the Wii, but I think I need to try all the program's in the disc I have first.

I still use my stationery bike before I use the wii. I burn more calories on that at the moment. :bigsmile:

I don't have any exercise equipment of my own, just my own two feet. The JM Fitness Ultimatum is pretty much a lot of jogging, so I'm sure I'm burning a good deal of calories with that. I did both today, Wii Fit, then JM. It was fun, I don't think I'll have that kinda time all of the time though. I like doing fun games and stuff in my work outs. And I really like challenges.

personally i think working out on Wii is a waste of time. you spend to much time fidgeting with the controls and not enough actually working out. i much prefer a good workout dvd.

Clearly you've only played the original Wii Fit. Wii Fit Plus has pre-made and customizable workouts, as do EA Sports Active 2 and many other games.

To the OP: EA Sports Active 2 is awesome. As I said above, it has lots of good pre-made workouts, and you can create your own. It also has some programs to choose from, like a 30-day and a 90-day, with pre-set workouts and built-in rest days and goal tracking. Ther'es also an online community, but I haven't explored that aspect of it. I recommend it.
