    There is a Biggest Loser game for the Wii ( you can use a fit board if you have one, but don't need one) and it would really kick my butt. You can put your info in and how much you want to lose and how often you want to exercise. It creates a program for you.

    Just Dance is a great one. There are a few versions now. I also just recently picked up Exerbeat and I really like it. It has assorted activities including different aerobics and karate. It is quite fun.

    If you've got a little money to splurge, wii fit is pretty good. It does a lot of balance exercises, and both high and low intensity aerobics (amongst other things, but these are my favorites). If you already have something that's going to get your heart rate up (Zumba) then this might be something worth giving a shot. Plus, it's fun! I can easily waste an hour and not even realize it. I'm always thinking, "Oh, I unlocked another new game! Now I need to go try that one too!"

    I use the Wii sports active 2 and its brilliant. You can do cardio and toning exercises and it gives you calories burned along with your heart rate. I use it 4-5 times a week and have not found anything to compare it to!!

    I have the jillian michaels workouts, and the EA sports workouts and they are great! But for fun games, I have all the Just dance games and those can make you sweat too, but lots of fun to do when your tired of doing the same old workout routine!

    I have the biggest loser challenge (very challenging!) you can set the level to what is best for your fitness level. I have the sports active, more active and sports active 2. They are all good workouts. I think I curse the game when they make me do mountain climbers or sprint. I also have wii fit and wii fit plus. The wii fit are not so much of a workout as the others. Of all of them, so far I like the biggest loser challenge the best because I like to do cardio boxing - which you can do just that. You will get out what you put into all of the games. I upped my last level of the biggest loser and it kicked my butt! I always wear a heart rate monitor because the game says I burned much less calories than my monitor. You do get the HRM with the sports active 2, but sometimes the heart rate doesn't even register when I am sprinting as fast as I can, or my HR drops. I don't trust it. When using my Polar, it usually shows that I burned twice as many calories as the game says I burned

    Is it the Jillian Michaels for the wii? Are there more than one? Which do you recommend??? Very interested in changing it up a bit. I do the Biggest Loser Cardio Max DVD and it is a calorie burn for sure! LOVE IT

    I like Wii Fit Plus - great games that do not feel like exercise - I love the step exercises.

    I just bought the wii and the wii fitness plus and just dance 3 so I cant tell you how it works to help you lose weight but it is fun. My kids help me when I am home and I work on it at least 60 min. a day if not longer and I can feel the burn so I think it is working. Just have not lost enough weight yet.
