Anyone Working out with Wii Active 2?

I just got a wii But haven't decided what to get.. I can't pick out of Zumba or Wii Active..

I am using EA Sports Active 2 but not for Wii. I use it on the PS3. The Wii and PS3 versions are quite similar; the main difference being that you need to hold the Wii Remote for some exercises, whereas the PS3 includes three sensors (one for each arm and one for your right leg), and some exercises allow you to use the Balance Board from Wii Fit. The Xbox 360 version requires the Kinect camera and it has only about half as many exercises as the PS3 and Wii versions of the game, and I've heard it doesn't work too well in comparison.

I never tried Zumba, it looked like dancing to me, which I hate, but I did buy Fit In Six for PS3 (probably available for Wii as well, I'm not sure though) and it seemed harder and not as good as EASA2 - less organized, no sensors, etc.

I like EASA2 because of how I can design my own workouts and play my own music with it, and I would say that my success this time (I've failed to get healthier many times in the past, usually after 2-3 weeks) has come solely due to using that program. I have branched out in recent months to include working out on my own, doing treadmill, etc.. I'd like more variety included in the program, since it doesn't even have jumping jacks and other exercises that are pretty common, but there is still quite a lot and I can get a good workout when I use it.

I know that for Wii there are several other EA Sports Active games, like the original, a football one, and I think an expansion-like one.. I just never really use my Wii anymore, so I don't buy the Wii stuff.

Anyhow, I am not using the Wii but I just wanted to lend my voice of support to Active 2, since it worked for me and I practically owe EA my life for it. I wish they'd work more on it though, because this is one of the few video games that is life-changing and very important. Or maybe I'm just too dramatic. But whatever, I am grateful for having discovered it last year.

When I first bought Wii Active Plus I worked out on it maybe an hour a day and I was able to lose 8kg in month and a half ( I was also watching my diet)..Mostly I did yoga poses morning and night and I did hula hoop , and aerobics stepping...it really helped !!! I am now getting back on it so hopefully it helps again. Just keep working out and you'll see the results for sure. GOod luck
I don't have a wii active 2 , are there any new workouts on it??

I'm doing EA Sports Fitness on Wii and playing Wii Sports in the evenings. The EASF game is intense! Tons of squats and running and strength training. I'm so sore!

I am on my third go around on the 9 week program on the hard setting (about 1/3 of the way through phase 2 a the moment!) for EA Sports Active 2. I loves it! I very recently have started the C25K program, but up until then, the EA Sports Active 2 was the only thing I was doing... so... it works well!

You've made a great choice. I lost 40 lbs using Wii. The games I use are Wii Fit, EA Active 2, Gold's Gym Cardio Boxing, and My Fitness Coach.

I do enjoy EA Active 2 because of the variety of workouts involved. I also highly recommend My Fitness Coach as the workouts are dynamic and it can tailor the workouts based on equipment you own. If you have weights, an exercise ball, a step or a heart monitor you can include those.

I love the Wii active!! I just bought the Wii active 2 and I love the new exercises and they added streching. Looking forward to doing the challange.

I just restarted the Active -More Workouts 6 week Challenge. Prior to this my Wii has been on hold for about 1 year and half. I also have started Zumba. I plan to do switch those two up with some other old & dusty tapes I have at home. So glad someone told me about this site love it.

I just bought the Wii Active 2 yesterday. I would love to join you!

I am currently doing the 3 week cardio kick start. I am using the High intensity since I am already pretty active.... or so I thought. In 10 minutes this game has me sweating, and breathing heavy.... Only day 2 an am really loving it! Once i get passed the 3 week, do I go to the 9 week, or start creating my own workouts?

Using Wii Zumba 2 and LOVE it! I didn't get along with Wii Fit, but am looking forward to getting my FitBit so I can calculate how many calories I'm burning with the Michael Jackson Experience and (my all-time favorite) Wii Sports Resort.

Ha! I have *exactly* the same games, and I haven't lost any weight.

Oh, you mean you're supposed to play the games? Well, that might make a difference..... LOL!

LOL, yeah it kinda helps

THANK GOD! today's workout on the Active 2 had no lunges....had some squats, but those seem to be ok as long as i do not have to hold them for too long. I hope it is just a building muscle thing... and soreness. Hopefully tonight's boot camp class will not have too much leg work either.

I have no used Wii Active 2. I use Just Dance 2 & 3, which I LOOOOOVE. Great workout if you get into it. I almost always break a sweat. Zumba 2 is very fun also, but I don't like it as much as JD 2 or 3. It's different. It gives you just as much of a workout but you don't have to be quite as precise with the dance moves because you wear the remote on your hip instead of in your hand.
