Best Wii Games for Fitness

i do the wii fit plus step up and hula hoops and im just waiting to receive my just dance 2 game which i heard is great but im getting the zumba one too xx

I enjoy the wii fit plus due to the variety of activities. I can bicycle around the island, be in the marching band, or throw snow balls. It keeps me going back every day to have this kind of variety.

The biggest loser challenge is great, also two others that get you sweatin' are the ufc trainer but it's for the 360 connect and the NFL combine for the wii they both are awesome!!

Michael Jackson: The Experience always has me sweating with the first 5 minutes. I love it.

I don't do the just dance one but Michael Jackson is a great one. I however HATED the original zumba for wii I personally thought it was a little odd following a neon chic backwards. I also noticed that you would just shake the wii mote and the lady would say oh great job which ticked me off even more LOL

Which ever one you could fit in your pocket while running.

Ae Sports active 2,comes with heart rate sensor for your left arm plus a motion sensor for your leg.It has 2 programs,a fitness starter to get you going,then from there you progress to the 9 week program.Its a combination of cardio,resistance band and covers alot of areas/muscles in a fun way.Has stepping,cardio boxing,soccer,basketball,lunges,the lot plus quite a few other random programs if your not feeling up to your usual date.It allows for off days so if you miss a day in your program you can backtrack and do the day missed thus keeping you up to date on your progress.I wont say its easy,push ups,foot fires,burpies,skipping,mountain biking(big time squats),skateboarding; it makes me push myself(but im a heavy smoker)so may be just me;)

The sensor does pick up every movement(or i found it did)unlike other ones ive tried where I had to jiggle the remote in order to get a response.There are 3 levels and can run from 25 mins up to 35 depending on the level chosen.I use a very thick resistance band and it can be quite painful(you can use hand weights if you so choose and it allows for that specific weight to be put in the options).Ive had some very good results from this.Also syncs with the other 2 ae active games and you can also form groups via their online option and track your progress with other members using the same program.

Ive tried quite a few other games on my wii,both the ae's before this,biggest loser,wii fit etc and seem to continuously come back to this program.Ive worn my hrm with the ae one to determine if the numbers match,the only issue I seem to have found is there can be a pause of some seconds between the exercises so allow an extra say 10 mins on top of the initial estimate of what they say is the timeframe.Due to the changeover between exercises,extra calories are burned,today i burned 30 more than the program said but In saying that,each day is different,lower body,upper body,core,cardio and the mix up keeps me returning.

I like the Zumba,it is forgiving and entertaining. I found I worked harder because I wanted to keep up. Also tried the Wii UFC. I got it from my library, so no leg strap. It wasn't responding to my punches-maybe just a fluke. Good tips in it though, only had it a few days. Everytime I try something new, I find a new move for a new body part . Even if I don't care for one, I usually walk away with a new tool. Public libraries are starting to offer more options-freee to try the games before you buy.

I've heard awesome things about EA active and active 2, as well as zumba. I don't know if zumba includes activities besides cardio, but I believe EA active does, so if you want to do both cardio and other activities, go for EA. if you want fun cardio and like doing the other stuff with your wii fit included games, do zumba. I just know I want both!

oh! and I love mel b's totally fit workout video and she has a wii fit game out that's been getting some good reviews too!

I play Dance Dance Mario (it's a Nintendo Gamecube Game- but still works in the Wii)- It's awesome :-)
