    I actually like Shaun White Snowboarding. Since it is pure fun, I feel like I work harder. But I don't log it. Also, boxing is fun.

    I agree with just dance, it really makes you sweat. Zumba wii is good too but I'm not so coordinated so find it hard to follow :laugh:

    Zumba is an incredible workout! There are 3 games available currently. I burn about 800 calories an hour. It does take a few tries to get the moves right, but you're in your living room so who cares!

    I also use Just Dance to workout alot... I use the dropdown Cardio option of "Dancing, aerobic, ballet or modern, twist" to log it.

    I have Just Dance 3 and 4, and I recent bought Wii Zumba Fitness 2.
    I love them all.

    I was logging Just Dance as "Danging, General", but now I'm logging it as "Aerobics, High Impact".

    I do NOT log the number of calories that Zumba gives me at the end, I feel it's way too high. I log it, but I estimate downward to be safe. I don't have an HRM so I'm not really sure, but the numbers the game gives me feel like they are way off.

    I thought Zumba was logging high calories too, until I started wearing my HRM while I did it and saw it was actually close, but lower than what my Polar reported!

    There is a fitness test in the beginning to see what fitness level you are at. The workouts gradually get harder and you get another fitness test after 10 workouts or so. She'll ask you during the workout if you thought that portion was too easy or difficult and it will adjust the workout based on your answers. I really like it. There is a video preview on amazon for it.
