    I use EA Sports Active 2 for the Xbox 360. I've used it for about 2 months and even though I love it, I can no longer rely solely on that game for my exercise goals, but it is fun and could be used to supplement another workout!

    I use Just Dance 2 when I'm really loathing the gym.. If I try hard to move a lot and really look ridiculous to dance, I'll burn upwards of 400-600 calories in an hour with my HRM :).

    I think you can get a good workout depending on what you do...I mean, I sometimes do boxing and bowling on the Wii and feel like I just did Turbo Jam, lol. Then again, you should see swing my "lightsaber" around in my Wii Star Wars games, hehe. It just depends on how YOU play if you get a good workout or not.

    I used to "earn" one hour of gaming for every 15 mins of working out. It worked out pretty well honestly, as long as you pay up!

    I play Just Dance 2 on the Wii almost everyday. You can burn some good calories!!! I have seen other people log the Wii Tennis too! Try it! It's great :)

    I just burned 282 calories doing Just Dance 2! It's a great alternative for me when I can't get to the gym during their hours.
