I would like everyone's input on what workout DVD/Wii game works best for them. I was originally going to buy a ZUMBA DVD, but I've heard excellent things about the JM 30-day shred. I've also seen lots of fitness games for the Wii, such as Biggest Loser. What kinds of DVD's or Wii games work best for everyone?

    I love zumba classes. The dvd's are a little slow and boring compared to the live class. 30 day shred is a great workout, but I have knee issues and it totally wrecks my knees. Of course that could be due to incorrect form since I'm not a pro :)

    I would say the best work out is the one that you enjoy and do consistently. I know that isn't really the answer you were looking for, but that is what works for me. I have tried many things and I find that it's easy to buy games and gadgets...but using them consistently is the key. Find what you love (it could be a variety of things) and stick to it! Good luck!

    My favorite workout DVD changes a lot, but right now I would say it's The Firm's Bootcamp Maximum Calorie Burn. I've also done the 30 day Shred. I liked, but it wasn't enough variety for me.

    I really like the Zumba dvd's. I feel like the 30 day shred is sort of for beginners?! I have tried it but it was really easy. I also have Jillian Michael's box set of 5 dvd's which are all pretty hard. I like the Biggest Loser wii game but it only really works up a sweat if I turn it on the "high intensity/expert" workout. I just know me and if I'm not getting my heart rate up to where it should be, then I'm not getting a productive workout in. I like the dvd's and wii games for an occasional change of pace but ultimately I would like to get to a cardio class at the gym like spinning or boxing! that's the best! :)

    Turbo Jam is fun with great music.
    30 Day Shred is good but definitely hard on the knees.

    This is true! If you find something that works, but you hate it and can't stay motivated to keep it up, it won't do you any good. For me, I love dancing, and have lost 10 lbs using mainly the Wii Just Dance games, and sometimes Wii Fit Plus or Sports. I have one of the Biggest Loser games, but I hate that type of just plain exercising, so I don't use it. It feel like too much work ..... ha. But the dancing makes time fly for me. So just experiment and see what works best for you. I'll have Zumba for Wii in a few days.. I hope I enjoy it as much. Thankfully, there are TONS of workout games/DVDs out there now, so the choices are great!
    Good luck!

    I can't say enough about EA Sports Active 2 for the Wii. It's awesome. I also like Wii Fit Plus, but it's not as intense as EA -- but sometimes that's a good thing, you know?

    Absolutely spot on!!!

    The best DVD, Wii game etc etc is one that doesn't just dust on your shelf.

    The best exercise is one that you actually do consistenly because you enjoy it. For some people that's Zumba, for some it's some DVD, for other's it's free weights, spinning or road running. Just find something you love.

    I am going to buy Jillian Michael's and I heard Insanity was great too because it's a lot like P90x.
