i cracked open the box the other day (having bought it months ago) to give it a go & i have to say im very impressed!

you have your own personal trainer (you pick a man or woman) and they talk you through all the excersizes!
ive decided to do the 30 day challange on the medium setting! this is an all over body work out of variouse excersizes!
i did 22 minutes and burned 182 calories!
i think this is great as you can track almost precisley your calories burned & your trainer is very supportive!

    I love this too! It actually makes exercising fun! I can't say I like those butt kicks though!! LOL I can't seem to do those fast ones right!! I I like it being so interactive!

    It's all I use right now. I'm 4 away from finishing the 30 day challenge, and I just started on the 6 Week on the More Workouts game. It's so awesome!

    Some people don't like it, but I'd recommend Dance Dance Revolution for Wii. If you do it right and get into it, it burns a lot of calories too...and it has songs that most people know. I'm a purest and prefer the beats on the big machines in the arcades, but it's still really cool. It also has a workout mode on all three versions.

    I love the Wii Active. I used it last year and now I just started more Wii Active that I got for Christmas. IT is very interactive and engaging. I like it alot.

    Under options, you can turn it off. Mine became uncalibrated and I don't feel like fixing it lol! So I turned it off and it'll adjust to that. You can change the intensity of workouts and all of that good jazz. You can also create your own workouts and it'll tell you what percentage your custom workout is legs, arms, cardio, and something else that I can't remember.

    I'm considering getting a Wii with part of our tax refund, I'm glad to hear all of the positive remarks about them! Any other games you recommend? So far I've heard: Wii Fit & Just Dance are good to workout with. Any other suggestions?

    I"m not a big fan of the Wii Fit game, but my sorority sister has both Just Dances and she looooooooooooooooooooves them. I like the Zumba game. There's a few glitches, but it comes with all games.
