Any recommendations? I usually use the elliptical and some free weights, but want something to break up the monotony!

Just Dance?
Zumba?
The Michael Jackson Experience?

Something else????

    Just Dance (1, 2, or 3) will definitely get you moving and it's a blast when you're playing with people. Can't even tell that you're getting exercise in.

    Some of the games within Wii Fit Plus are a nice workout too. They have hula hooping, step, running, etc.

    Enjoy!

    I have Just Dance 2, and Wii Fit & Wii Fit Plus. All are fun and challenging!

    I think my sister has the Zumba one and likes it.

    I have Just Dance 2 and 3 and I love them both. Like someone else said, you dont even realize you're working out.

    I also just got EA Sports Active 2 (on sale right now at Walmart for $10) and I love it already. It comes with a heart rate monitor and resistance bands. For the most part it is hands free and you dont really have to use the controller that often.

    Thanks for the info so far! I just have a Wii and remotes (2 I think) and nunchucks ( I think). will I need to buy other accessories in addition to the game itself? Dance pad ... balance board thing?

    I like the wii fit 2. I had the zumba game but I didn't like it. It was disappointing when compared to the classes I took.

    I have most of the ones people have suggested. So I can change things up. I just got a new one called Walk It Out. Just need contoller and nunchuck. I got it on amazon .com. Probably find it other places. You walk to the beat of the music. Check it out.

    I have been doing the biggest loser on WII. I chose Bob as my coach and he worked me as hard as Jillian. I am so sore, I can hardly walk. My daughter is brave because she is doing Insanity, and I think she is insane.
