    Most of my workouts are wii dancing - I LOVE them and the burn is crazy - I wear a bodymedia fit and almost all of my just dance registers as vigorous. The zumba is awesome. I do some of the strength training on wii fit but find that for a real good weight training program I do better on my own (I don't belong to a gym but find moves in magazines and online and like to do my own thing with my matchbox twenty music blaring).

    I do Dance Dance Revolution on workout mode! It doesn't burn a high amount of calories, but at this early stage it's getting me moving for an hour every day, and that's what's most important to me.

    Thank you. Unfortunately it only seems to be sold outside of the UK :grumble:
    I'll keep looking.

    *EDIT* I found it! In the UK it's called "My Fitness Coach: Dance Workout."

    They also have a smurfs dancing game that was too cute. Also, they have one for kiddos. It's just as good as the Just dancing 1, 2, 3.

    I cannot afford a gym membership, so I use my Wii Fit and I have EA Active 2. I love them. I put on my MP3 and do the advanced step and the island cycling...I tend to dance while I'm doing the advanced step, so I sweat alot! I do all cardio on the EA Active 2---so far I've lost 15 lbs doing just those.

    I have the Xbox Dance Central 2 with the Kinect... it really makes you move and sweat, not to mention its a lot of fun. It does help with working out and burns calories. Have fun with it!! And dance your booty away!

    OOOOO Good idea. My music+Wii Fit cycling, running, etc. = pure brilliance.

    I am glad you brought that up. I am on a 7 day free pass with Gold's Gym. I can't afford a normal gym membership and I don't really like the fact that it's a two year contract. You just gave me an epiphany.

    I love Wii Zumba 2. It is the first time I crave my exercise program.

    I love it using the wii. I do the Michael Jackson Experience and sweat bullets everytime! I do alternate slower songs like "the girl is mine" with the inhuman ones like "thriller" but just 20 min. - 30 min is what I shoot for and have a blast doing it. Then again, I was born in 1970 and grew up on his music!

    I have a hard time doing it infront of my aunt and uncle or even my gramma and cousin. I like doing it with my mom and son because it's bonding time. I do get self concious, but I lose myself in the music. I kind of block everything else out.

    I will have to look for this one to see if I can find it. Here at walmart it was like $50. I love most of his music too. Good idea.

    i LOVE them! They'll pay for themselves after a while :)

    IF anything, get GameFly.. you can rent them and keep them as long as u want to... to see if you like it. Send it back when u're done, buy it if you like it.
    Wish i had that here...

    I do Just Dance 2 and 3 and absolutely love them. I use the Wii Fit daily as well, but mainly just to track my progress. For the first time today, I have tried AE Active 2 which is pretty cool, and I also ordered Zumba 2. I really need to switch up my exercise routines a lot or I tend to get very bored. Can't wail till warmer weather hits so I can head back outside! But anyways, I highly recommend all of them :)

    I love Just Dance! I especially love knowing that when I'm having a lazy day, I can do this and still feel like I still got some exercise in.

    We have the Fit and EA Active. I like Active because I feel like I really work out with it. I can work up a sweat. I use the Fit just about everyday as well, but only as a scale and my 4 y/o loves the games so I play with him on it. I want to get Just Dance and I think hubby is wanting the M.J. Dance Experience
