    Ahhh - that's the name of the one I have EA Sports Active 2! I hate that woman on there, she makes me work so hard! LOL!
  • Love using my Wii for Jillian Michaels 2009 Fitness Ultimatum. Recently got her 2011 Fitness Ultimatum and don't enjoy it. What Jillian Michaels are you using? Thinking about getting Zumba soon.

    When I started working out (pre MFP) I used it all the time, when I get to my goal I'll use it again for maintenance. I still weigh in on it every Friday ( doing P90X, 30DS ect now)

    Anyways, I did different things everyday on Wii Fit (yoga, boxing, strength training, hula hoop, step aerobics) Some of the sport games can really get your heart rate up and can be super fun! I'd like to say WII really helped me get started, I've lost 68lbs so far :)

    Sorry for TMI, lol, hope it helps!

    I only have wii fit, had to go out today and buy a new game because my mom lost mine. Luckily I only paid $2.85 for it. I did only twenty minutes of 3/4 categories because the batteries are almost dead and it sucks ):

    I hadn't either but I was looking for a new game on Amazon and it had good reviews so i decided to give it a try. it was only like $20.
  • I do the sweat version of Just Dance 2 but I am also thinking about getting Zumba. I have total fun with it!! My daughter does it with me. It works me HARD!!
  • Hi: I did the WII sports and it was so fun. I really got into the boxing. I played for an hour and was sweating everywhere. It is my son's so I have to take my turn. . .

    When I first started working out, I only used my Wii. I played Gold's Gym Dance Workout for about a month exclusively. I don't play it anymore because now I just go to the gym, but it was great to get me started. I'd recommend it.

    I do Just Dance 1-3 (but mostly 3 for the Dance Mashups). I had Michael Jackson the Experience but it disappeared and I really need to find it. THAT was fun! I made a complete dork out of myself when I achieved my perfect score on Thriller!

    I have Zumba but it's discouraging - I can't get the controller to stay in the right place on my hip to pick up my movements so I guess I need to revisit it when I'm smaller.

    I was thinking of getting the Michael Jackson one, I saw it at the vido store but I didnt know it was a dance one.. I really want to learn the Thriller.. Its played at every dance I have ever been to... I almost got Just dance 3 yesterday but I didn't and know I am hearing everyone talk about it.. I will have to get it to day.. I have 62 Wii games and 5 are fitness games.

    I've lost 20 pounds and the only regular exercise i've done is 30 mins of Wii Tennis each day. Definitely recommend the Wii if your just starting out or new at exercise

    I used and found EA Sports Active 2 (and the More Workouts) to be really effective and hard work (I've sworn at it a lot). . They use a similar workout to the 30 Day Shred (having now seen the 30DS) which explains why that is so effective. Only negative about EA Sports Active is that its a bit dull as the surroundings etc never change. It could have been made a lot more fun. The latest version is crap btw.

    I also have Wii Fit and the Sports ones. Wii Fit I never use now as its unstructured and I dotn like firing it up and having to "decide" what I wan tot do as I normally ended up doing a quick run and then doing the easy stuff. The Sports titles were fun but also suffer from a lack of structure and a lack of results.

    I'm doing wii zumba and my fitness coach. I love the fitness coach for the vaiety, and dare I say it, but I am actually starting to enjoy the zumba as well. I don't have the silly belt as I borrowed the game from my sis, so I just chuck the wiimote in my pocket - I don't always score so well as it's not great at picking up movements, but hey I still get a good workout so I really couldn't care less :)

    Wii fit for me is more of a after workout fun and games type thing.. its still a work out but I like the games.. Also the scal in the board is really nice.
