Hey all! Santa is bringing our family a Wii this year. I would love to know some of your favorite fitness games and tips. Do they still make the Wii fit? Is there something better? Thanks so much :)

    I'm getting Walk it Out for Christmas. It's not a heavy duty workout .... but it's supposed to be really addictive. Thanks for starting this thread .... new to Wii & also looking for ideas.

    Best advice I have is DON'T get Netflix on the Wii. It will turn your fitness machine into an entertainment center and it's way too tempting to hit netflix instead of Wii Fit and then sit on the couch. :happy:

    Haha I half agree with this BUT the netflix instant streaming has some good workouts! I use the pilates ones :) Also you can do exercises WHILE you watch your netflix! :)

    I have wii fit but it's not that great of a work out. I've never tried the newer version though...
    I have the biggest loser challenge and like that.

    I've also heard good things about the dance ones and EA sports active which I plan to get next.

    I love the Just Dance, it really can make you sweat only after a few songs.

    Thank you all! I also use Netflix for workout videos. I love the 10 minute carb and calorie burner.

    Wii ZUMBA!!! It's so fun. You can break a good sweat doing the Michael Jackson experience too. My son has the EA football training one that I need to try out.

    EA Active 2 and Just Dance are my favorite ones. I have the Biggest Loser one but don't like it. I also have Zumba but I have not used too much. I do enjoy the basic Wii Fit but don't think I get a great workout from it, but it is fun and has to be better for you then sitting on the couch. ENJOY!!

    I have the Wii, along with Wii Fit Board, Just Dance, and EA sports.....like them all and if I stayed with it I would be at goal, now I am going to start back up again and my grand daughter will also do it with me......she enjoys the Just Dance tapes......

    Hope you enjoy it.........

    I have Wii Fit, which is fun but isn't really a workout to me. I lovelovelove Just Dance though; it's really fun to play and burns a pretty good amount of calories. :)
