    I'd kinda like to know this myself! I have noticed my sides are sore after hoola hoop so maybe that means it's working?????

    I think Wii Fit is fun but I wouldn't rely on it for your main fitness. I find it a good indicator of how my fitness is improving as I get better scores, but I use My Fitness Coach as a primary Wii Fitness program.

    Something I've discovered on my wii fit plus, If you have resistance bands you can do "hammer curls" and call it the Tricept extension and it still works. (just adding another muscle group to your workout)

    I use the Windsor Pilates Ab dvd. I do it every second day to give my stomach a rest in between because it really works. The good part is that it is only 18 min long lol. Definately worth it though. Since Feb I have lost 2.5 inches off my waist :smile:

    ya, but you can see inches... a number not so much. unless your standing on a scale or have a giant neon sign floating above your head with your weight on it.

    I lost inches and close to 15 lbs doing the Wii Fit alone in the first leg of my weight loss journey. Yes, you will notice a slimmer stomach doing the Hula Hoops (killer, isn't it!) Once you get more comfortable with the exercises (if you aren't already), try doing the 15-, 20- or 30-minute free run while watching your favorite shows and watch the weight melt off. Seriously. I still do free runs all the time.
