Wii My Fitness Coach

I really really want a Wii, but since money is tight- I am planning on breaking out my Dance Dance Revolution! It has a 'workout' mode that tells how many calories you burn. I know this didn't answer your question, but I thought it might help with other ideas! :flowerforyou:

Has anyone bought this game yet? Is it good?

I was wondering the same thing. I am waiting until I see some of the reviews before I buy the game.

What you are all describing DOES sound alot like Wii fit. I just got this game and have been faithfully working out with it for a week. It kicks my butt. It does a physical test and then adapts your workout to that. You can always increase the intensity if it isn't challenging enough. I enjoy it and am sore. It focuses on a different area each workout.....upper body, core, flexibility, lower body....and it does a session of cardio before the focus on every workout. I LOVE it!

I bought the wii game and it came with wii sports, I use it everyday. Yes, I work up a serious sweat playing tennis, baseball, and boxing. The key to getting your heart rate up is to use the remote to punch, and swing , with the same intense that you would if you were actually playing the games. Trust me my muscles are sore afterwards. Go Wii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have Wii Sports and Wii Fit, and I was surprised at how much of a workout I actually got. My husband and I played the boxing and tennis for about 2 hours last sunday....and the next day I felt like I had gotten hit by a truck! I was SOOO sore. and in the Wii fit they have a hulahoop game, a few rounds of that and my booty was burning!!!

No, it wouldnt replace my workouts, but it is a fun way to get a little more of a workout in at the end of the day!

My Fitness Coach is a new game that just came out on the 2nd. I've heard good things about it, but I haven't picked it up yet. It does NOT use the balance board.

Incidentally, EA is coming out with a fitness game next year that looks promising. It uses cool things like resistance bands that plug into the controllers.

COOL! Well... I better hurry and get My Fitness Coach so I can be tired of that before the new one comes out! lol So far I have Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Fitness Ultimatum... :bigsmile:

What do you think about Fitness Ultimatum. I was going to race out and buy it when it came out, but it got really cruddy reviews. I may ask for this Fitness Coach for Christmas, though.

i have jillians game dn't buy it. it had to be returned 2xs to get one that worked correctly. you move and she doesn't. you can get a good workout doing it, just not the best game.
my DH went out last night to find me fitness coach for Christmas and he couldn't find it anywhere. walmart, target, toyrus. none had it or heard of it. going to try game stop. oh well if i can't find it.
love the wii (wispering: when i use it)

son just got this for me for Christmas and gave it to me today.....said he knew i wanted it bad. well, me, DH, son all did our profiles and set up our workout. son wasn't going to do it, until we laughed at him, he got mad and did his profile and the first workout. just watching him i know i am going to love it. MUCH better than jillians(which i have also). you can do your workouts with someone else too. so DH and i might do our together. don't know how that will work out, since he put in to work on his core and i put weight loss. we will try it someday. he is only doing 15 & 30 min workouts. i set mine for 60. i am in better shape than the two of them. that made me feel good. i did 15 pushups. i have never been able to do 5.
well, off to finish laundry.....

well, who got theirs for Christmas?????:bigsmile:
lovin mine

Now that I look at it - it is Wii Fit that I have! Like I said before, it's not too bad, but I did get bored with it. I have DDR for the wii as well. lol...I'm not really co-ordinated enough for it!

I'm glad that you asked about this. Our family just got a Wii and I like the hula hoop games and the yoga/strength parts for toning. I feel my abs and hips in ways I have never felt before, LOL.

I was hoping that I could use Wii Fit for cardio on days when the weather makes it hard or impossible to run outdoors. So far I have not found a decent cardio workout. The running in place and free step are unlocked for 30 min. I barely sweat and it is pretty boring. I like the step class because it is fun but it only lasts for 6 min. Does anyone know if there is a way to increase the class to say 30 minutes?
