    My DH bought it last spring right after it came out. It's not bad. There are a lot of fun little games to play. We both used it faithfully until we got bored of it. I'll still use it occasionally if I can't get to the gym for some reason. I would probably buy it again. If more exercises came out for it, I would definitely get those. Hope this is helpful....

    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:

    I just got it a few weeks ago. It's not as intense as I would have liked (my workout is over half cardio) but it does have some fun balance games. It relies a lot on balance and posture and, being a dancer, I thought I'd have that nailed but I found out there's a lot I can work on! There is some good yoga and some "strength" exercises that are pretty hard! It's a fun alternate workout or addition to my workout but I wouldn't ditch the gym entirely.:smile:

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

    I thought this game only came out at the beginning of this month. ? What every one is describing... sounds alot like Wii Fit.

    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! :smile:

    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.

    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 asked for fitness coach 2 days ago. My bf said he got it for me. I'm so excited. It seems to be just like a workout video but it gives you different routines. I need change. I'm even debating getting the don king boxing when it comes out cause boxing really gets my heart racing. I've joined a gym 4 months ago and I'm already sick of that
