Looking for opinions - anyone out there using either of these Wii games for exercise? I need to change up my workout routine, and thought maybe something like these games might be fun for a change of pace...

    I have the wii just dance and love it! (eye of the tiger kicked my butt yesterday). Anyway I use it to change up my walking routine plus different, and more, muscles get used with this! Now I may not do all the moves right , lol, but I just keep moving and doing the best that I can. In between moves, and songs, I just keep jumping/moving around. I did 30 min, of "just dance," yesterday and was sweating and huffing and puffing. I add it as "general dance" under my exercise.

    Thanks TracieJ - they look like a lot of fun, and I figured it must be pretty good for working up a sweat!

    I have My Fitness Coach (the first one) for Wii and love it. I can pick how long I won't my workout to be and what I want to focus on and it creates individual workouts.

    You bet JD! I am all about trying to do cardio without thinking I am "doing" cardio. I honestly have to say that I am not someone who likes to exercise so I am all about getting it done in some kind of a fun way. Beware, there is only about 20 songs to choose from, so if you get bored and don't like to do the same ones over, you may not want to get it. I just try to make sure I do different ones in each workout. Some of them are QUITE a workout!

    I have DDR hottest party. It is fun and DEFINITELY gets my HR up.

    The only problem is the songs are like 1.5-2 minutes in length so there is a lot of down time ... still great workout though. :)
