Hello! I have Wii Fit and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for fitness "games". I have tried Jenny McCarthy's Your Shape and the 10 minute solutions Knock-out Body. I was a little underwhelmed by both of them and do not want to waste any more money on something I will not use. I've read reviews about My Fitness Coach, Gold's Gym Cardio Workout, and EA Sports Active 2. Does anyone have any experience with those or suggestions for others?

    I have a Wii and I LOVE Just Dance. You don't need to use the fit but if you get into it you can really work up a sweat.

    I also used the EA sports active and I didn't like it. For some reason mine was having difficulty reading my moves and I would get really frustrated.

    I have my fitness coach 2. The interface and options are not great but the challenges make an excellent workout. I love the boxing challenge.
    The miniwork outs are too small in my opinion.

    I use My Fitness Coach and I love it, I have aslo used EA Sports active 1 which I also enjoyed (However I did get a little bored with this one after about 12 months)

    I love the Zumba for the Wii. I tried the Golds Gym you refer to & the Biggest Loser one, I did not like either one. I did not feel like I was getting much of a workout - they were not very cardio

    Anyone who has been doing other, pretty serious exercises this able to comment on any of the games? I've been considering using the Wii for workouts, but worried that it wouldn't be a serious enough calorie burn... and I don't have a ton of free time for exercise, so I don't want to waste the time if it won't work.

    I do 45 minutes of cardio 4 days a week and 2 days of strength training. I still think just dance for Wii is a good workout. I usually just do it for fun and 30 minutes goes by without even noticing. Some days my arms are sore after and I always work up a sweat. After some of the dances I have to catch my breath. I take my Wii dancing pretty seriously though. I plan on using the moves to maybe break out into choreographed dance if I ever get the chance ;)

    I use the Wii Fit Plus and the Wii More Active and like both. Also have the Dance, Dance which is a lot fun (though frustrating for me because I am so uncordinated! LOL).

    I just got Wii Zumba and really like it..I've done a 20 minute workout on the wii and worked up a sweat! (I wasn't wearing shoes and my feet were slipping!!!)


    The moves are pretty easy on the beginnier level...but still I'm moving the whole 20 minutes ;)

    I have the Wii fit plus and Just Dance. I work up a much bigger sweat on the Just Dance and have ALOT more fun with it than the fit plus.
