Is it worth getting a Wii for fitness games?

I've got the Wii Zumba, & i love it!!
ATM thats my only source of exercising and i really do feel it.

I have the wii and I love it, I also have the Zumba for wii and the biggest loser for wii and I love doing them both. It does gives you an option to change up, sometime I do DVD and sometime I pull out some of the old VHS tapes and pot them in. Love Richard Simmons old tapes

i love my wii fit plus but to to be fair it sounds like a wii isnt what you need if you bore easily then its alot of money and id recommend using the money your thinking of spending on a wii to buy some differant exercise dvds they do zumba dvds and dance work out ones toning, aerobics and it will prbably work out cheaper for you to pic 2 or 3 of those and mix it in with the routine you have already a wii is only a good investment if you know you wont get bored or you dont have the paitience for a workout dvd
wii suits me i hate some workout dvds and ive tried alot including shred i was bored mindless but i really enjoy wii fit plus and the range of differant things on there its up to you but if youva had beofre and then sold it id say not really for you if you do want a games console ive heard good things about the kinect for xbox is it and ps3 zumba workout my friend loves maybe you would prefer them better

no, get the PSP3 if your looking for games and exercise workouts that you can do as well. It also has a Blueray DVD player and Netflix with it as a bonus...... but, if you dont care for a gaming system for games and such, apply that same money to a gym membership or workout equipment

I had a go of my friend's Wii Just Dance, and it was a lot of fun. We were out of breath, sweating buckets, and laughing at each other and ourselves. However, I hear that the Wii can be a bit sarcastic to you if you don't sign in every day to do your exercises, and quite frankly I'd probably end up putting it through the window if it got snidey with me! Might be worth having a go of a friend's, if you know anyone who's got one?

Personally I would recomend the X-Box 360 and also Kinect for fitness games. The Wii is ok, but the Kinect is now the big hitter. Sadly it depends on how much you can afford really.

I'd really love to get a Kinect so I can use the UFC trainer game. I've got my eye on it for when I've recovered from my injury, and when I can afford the darned thing! We already have the XBox.

It's a lot of money for just 1 game... I'd only get it if you are interested in a lot of other wii games. Otherwise I'd just download some exercise vids and get a heart rate monitor or something. It looks kinda gimmicky to me, selling weight loss to people who don't understand necessarily how weight loss works.

I have been doing the simple Wii games with my family, and even something as simple as the boxing game can make your arms have a workout, especially if you are not used to just moving. I have also enjoyed the tennis one as well. We recently got the "Michael Jackson Experience", which is basically a dancing game, and all I can say is "HOLY COW!", I was sweating just after doing one dance. It was fun to compete with my daughter to see which one of us can outpace the other and get a higher score. It is great when my big butt (not for much longer) can outscore her on dancing, but I admit to being out of breath when I was done and felt awesome at the same time. there are some places where you can rent games, to include online, if you want to try out the games and give them a shot first. We use gamefly, which is like netflix for games. That way, we are always getting something new to play. It is like 9 bucks a month for the 1 out at a time deal, which with a teenager doesn't seem that bad of a deal to me, because it is cheaper than going to the movie store to get them. We have the Zumba one coming in, and we can't wait to give that a try.

I feel very fortunate that my daughter is willing to dance and sweat away with me. She states that she is proud of me for just getting up and moving what I do. I haven't been able to do anything since my hernia surgery, and so I am having to slowly work myself back up to shaking my moneymaker for Zumba.

Good luck with finding a game! :-)
