I just got a wii and was curious what fitness games are recommended besides wii fit plus. The fit plus seem a little pricey for me at this time with the balance board. Do you have to have the balance board?

    You do need the balance board for Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus. There are a few games that are good for fitness, Zumba Fitness is a good one. I also play Just Dance, it's not strictly a fitness game but it gets you moving and it's good fun. :)
    I'm sure other users might point you in the direction of other fitness games on the Wii, I don't play it so much anymore. :)

    I really like EA Sports Active right now, and the balance board is optional.

    I have the wii fit and never use it. I didn't feel I was getting a work out. I have all of the Just Dance and use them all the time. They are super fun and get your heart rate up!

    Just chiming in to say that I use Just Dance 1, 2, and 3, and Dance Dance Revolution. Also, the Wii sports are pretty good for light or low impact exercise, you just have to spend more time doing them to get a big calorie burn.

    there's also ones like The Biggest loser, the my fitness pal games which have selection like cardio, dance.. I think there's a Jillian Michaels one. New U fitness first personal trainer, mel B one.. I think alot of these have some games for balance board also but you should be able to do most of them without.

    If you look them up on amazon and look through the reviews you can see what other people have said about them to work out which may work for you.. or look them up on You Tube, I do that alot before deciding which ones to buy.

    I am using just dance 2 these last few weeks and boy do I sweat, doing this for 30 mins and it's great fun trying to do all the moves. I do the wii fit the odd time as well :)

    Don't forget trying to get second hand games. Gamestation are great as they check the discs work before selling on. There are dedicated shelves in their shops for preowned Wii games. Anything that gets you moving and makes you sweat, will be good for you! Good luck buying and trying!

    This is so true. I was able to find a used copy of of Wii Fit for $3 and a used board for $40 at my local Game Stop. I really lucked out on the board though. When I opened it after getting home, it looked like it had never been used...still in it's plastic wrap.

    Good luck!

    I play tennis and bowling on Wii Sport and Just Dance, I'm going to get Zumba for Wii. I use mine daily. The bowling and tennis give me a good stretch and I work up a good sweat

    Just dance 2
    Just Dance 3,
    Black Eyed Peas Experience
    Micheal Jackson Experience
    Zumba Fitness 1
    Zumba Fitness 2


    VERY FUN!

    For the Zumba, i dont even have the belt (i just got the games)... i wear shorts that have loops in them and use an actual belt and stick my wiimote in.
    Also Zumba 2 has very nice progress trackers; they measure calories burned, time played, technique etc
