Best fitness games on consoles?

HI

I have wii fit on the original wii and got it for the balance games originally, some I can do standing holding onto a walking frame round the balance board and others I sit on the board to do it (Not as far to fall over!) With the frame behind me and holding onto sides as lean left or right. I've managed to adapt a fair few of the games and exercises too.

The jogging one I can do by attaching the wii remote to my leg and going on a passive training bike (helps pedal your legs for you) and the game thinks I'm 'jogging'. I use this method to play the walking game 'walk this way' too.

Exerbeat I can play most of as it only tracks arm movements so you can be sitting in a chair or on the floor to play most of it.

I did get a boxing one but it got too difficult after first few levels as I don't have the co-ordination for it as it gets faster, again I can do one of the side games where you run through the woods (again by using wiimote strapped to leg on pedal exercisers) and occasionally stopping to punch a few targets that jump out at you.

Was just wondering how different the Wii U version was or what else is out there that I could adapt?

After managing to get from 12st 7 to 9st 3 the other year I've gone back up to 12st 10. I really struggled to maintain 9st 3 and thought I looked older in face as I lost so much weight off face and but still didn't lose that much of stomach. (though managed to go down from size 20 to 14 UK sizes).

I have under active thyroid too and being in wheelchair most of time for the last 10 years my stomach muscles seemed slow to respond to even extreme dieting and as much exercise as I could manage, (used fat burners too for extra energy as couldn't even complete 15 mins exercise without them).

As I found it so hard to maintain 9st 3 and lost so much weight of face, arm and legs but tummy was still bigger, I still felt I looked 'skinny pregnant' rather than just overweight all over so aiming for about 10 st to 10st 7 this time which is top end of weight range for my height. I'm also 46 and have fibroids. One did start to shrink with weight loss and was no longer pressing on bladder all time but with weight gain I'm having problems with that again so constantly feel like I'm desperate for a wee even when I've just been, so really need to get a couple of stone back off again.

For diet I'm thinking of trying rice and beans most days like I'm a celebrity diet as they seem to drop several stones in a couple of week, combined with some other fruit and mostly vegetarian meals, although I'll still be having my turkey for xmas dinner! (rice and beans diet will resume after xmas day!). Turkey with mostly veg and a very small portion of potato can't be that unhealthy surely?

Thanks

My Mother-in-Law just got us the Wii U + Wii Fit. I wishhhh I had the 2 controllers so I can do the aerobics and dance games, but that will have to wait. The obstacle course game on it has been really pissing me off because I keep running out of time >:O We really like it, and I had actually built up a sweat! There is a game where you have to stand on the board and flap your wings like a bird. The tv is so close that I don't think it registers me, but I kept flapping away to fly and my arms were sore for like 3 days. My Mom has the Xbox Kinect that they don't play, but I remember the fishing game being fun!

The obstacle course and bird flapping one is on original wii fit game for the older wii too, Is it just the same games on for Wii U version, with a couple of new games?
