    I use it every day. I use Wii Active2 and the Wii Fit every day. Plus I walk.

    I've been using it for physio for years (got the original wii fit when it first came out) and have slowly built up to point where I could do enough cardio to lose weight. I like boxing and tennis for cardio, exerbeat works for me as can do most of them from sitting cos it doesn't really track what your legs are doing and the pilates floor routines are good.

    I'm working my way through my fitness coach: cardio workout and daisy fuentes pilates at the moment which I got for xmas! I also do the balance games from standing holding onto rollator as its good for my Ataxia.

    I have seen improvements in my strength, balance and voluntary movement /co-ordination of arms and legs so it's working great for me.

    I use Zumba 2 for the Wii. I would highly recommend this. It is so much fun and keeps track of the calories you burn.

    I love using the Wii it's so motivating and such fun, at the moment I just use the Wii Fit - like the hula hoops, jogging, step, boxing - so much more to discover tho :-)

    I have been thinking I might get Zumba, lots of people say it is good - which is best?? I am a complete beginner in Zumba ..

    I use this too, but totally missed the "keeps track of calories" part. How do I set that up?

    i use just dance 2 and 3 and try to do it for at least 30mns each time. It's such a fun way to exercise!
    In my case I need to shake some serious fat off my arms so just dance is perfect for that.

    I use it everyday. I love it! I rotate with:
    *EA Active 2 & NFL Training (both of these teams you with a personal trainer and does the moves with you and comes with a HRM and leg strap and tells you how many calories you burned).
    *Zumba 2 makes me sweat the most....its a great burn.
    *Just Dance 1/2/3..love this one as its also good times spent with my daughter.

    For tracking calories burned on zumba 2 for the wii. When you set up your profile you input your date of birth and weight. Your calories burned is worked out from this. On the main menu you pick your profile then go into progress tracker then statistics. It shows you your weight, time played, technique and calories burned.

    I got the "JUST DANCE" for my daughter .... it definitely makes you sweat

    thinking about the "Zumba 2" seeing all the positive comments, and especially since I do not have time to join a Zumba class

    I like the wii sports ...as it has differnt things for you to do, the boxing really makes me sweat!!!:bigsmile:
