Hi MFPeeps :smile:

My hubby and I are planning on getting a Wii once we get our tax refund back. I want to get some good games that are fun, but also will burn me some calories. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

    I only have two, but I love them both! I have had Wii Fit Plus for a while now, and it's fun to get on and do a mini workout, but I just got Zumba, and I must say, I'm SWEATING! Great workout. I definitely recommend it!

    My Wii came with Sports Resort. There's a "super hula hoop" game on there, I try to beat my own spin record every time and in the process that burns calories like crazy. It's great for a quick workout!

    Just Dance is fun and I just tried Zumba for the first time. It was fun and I was working up a sweat! Both are great to get you moving. I have 2 left feet and at times feel totally uncoordinated but I just laugh it off and keep moving...my 5 yr old has fun too.

    I f you are looking for a good wii game to help loose the weight.. might I suggest EA sports Active.. I LOVE it.. my husband and I just bought it over the weekend and we are in love with it. and let me put it this way... the first time we tried it I couldn't even finish it because it was that tough.. and then yesturday I actually finished 2 work outs.. and had to do both of the ones I missed.. today was the first time I ever finished 1 work out and it was tough.. not to mention I also went and worked out in my work out room in my appt building... so yes I think EA sports active is the best game

    I have Wii Fit Plus and EA Sports Active 2. Both fun in different ways. EA is nice because it comes with a heart rate monitor just for the game, so it can give you an accurate calorie burn.

    Wii Resort has a variety of things on it. For cardio workout get Wii active 2. Wii Fit was OK but I didn't do it like I do the Wii Active 2.

    I HIGHLY recommend EA sports active 2. I've dropped my resting heart rate by 20 BPM, and for the first time in my life I can run a mile or more without stopping or walking.

    Definitely Just Dance. Killer workout, and a fun party game (especially when you get people drinking!)

    I also use MyFitnessCoach for workouts. Really adaptable personalised workouts, you can set the duration, and she really makes you sweat. Also, lectures you for skipping workouts.

    We have a Wii Fit Plus and I love it. Boxing, Super Hoola Hoop, Advance Step and the Obstacle Course make me sweat like crazy. Plus, it helps you keep track of your BMI, Weight and fitness goals. Great buy! Totally worth it.

    I adore my Wii fit plus. I just got a new game called Wii Your Shape, which has a camera and no controller. You can incorporate weights, a swiss ball and step into the workout, and man, did it kick my but! I can only do 15 minutes at this stage as It is very intense! It also targets certain areas you want to tone / strengthen / or lose from.
