    Lovemyblessings, have you tried the boxing on Wii Fit Plus? It's a lot of stepping around the board, and it works your arms & shoulders too. You'd probably get quite the workout with the extenders. The Expert level alone on boxing torches through 90 calories, easily, in a 10 minute span.

    Do you guys think the calorie counter on there is accurate? I know my weight and BMI is off on the wii fit.

    My weight and BMI are pretty dead on with Wii Fit Plus. I unlocked the Expert level on the boxing by scoring high on beginner & advanced. Once you get it unlocked, try to beat my high score of 1190.

    I have been getting results using Wii as my primary workout. I typically burn 300-500 calories on Wii Fit +, and another 100 or so on Biggest Loser

    Extenders can be purchased on amazon.com I believe.

    jdavis, your wii is probably off because everyone's body weight fluctuates about 2.5 lbs throughout every day. I can weigh 240 in the morning, and 243 at night, and 245 in the middle of the day. It's better if you use your wii around the same time you weigh yourself, and make sure you're wearing the lightest clothes you can. That helps too.

    Hello!

    I have wii fit plus and gold's gym cardio and I love them. I do both of them almost every night. I would like to get the biggest loser game, it sounds like everyone likes it here? My big question is, does it count the calories you burn? I am assuming it does, but I don't like to assume much..
    Thanks!

    Biggest Loser does count calories, but I don't think it's accurate. It says I burn 100 calories in a BL workout, but it doesn't always count what I'm doing, so I know I'm burning more than it's counting. For example, I can never get it to count my hip lifts for some reason, even though I'm doing exactly (or it looks like) what Bob is doing on the screen. I know I burn more than 100, cuz I FEEL the burn.
    To answer your question in short, sjmay... Yes, Wii BL counts your calories as you burn them... depending on how well the computer thinks you do the exercise. It certainly makes it difficult to cheat or fool the system.

    We got it at Toys R Us. I think it was $25, but it is definitely more challenging and I burn WAY more calories than I did with just the 3 inch Balance board alone.

    I love the Wii Fit! I don't use it for the yoga or strength training, but I do the aerobic games & balance games for fun. But at the same time I'm still getting a great workout! The hula hooping really worked my waist and ab area. The running really increased my heart rate, got the blood flowing. And the balance games, well, they helped me work on my balance a bit more ha.
    I've heard of Wii Fit Plus but never tried it. What more different games are on it?
