    I love my Wii Fit. I play on Wii Fit plus, Zumba and Just Dance 3.

    I've started doing the set beginner routine on the Zumba to break myself into it, currently its Monday's and Thursday's. In a week or so I'm gonna go onto the intermediate ones.
    I do step on the wii fit, some days with weights, and the yoga on there too

    :happy:

    I alternate it with other things but it's a big part of my rountine.

    I alternate Wii Fit, Zumba 1 and Biggest Loser Workout for Wi so I tend to use this for 2-3 out of my 6 workouts each week!

    Same here. I used it at the beginning of my weight loss as I had a weird work schedule and there was no point in getting a gym membership at the time. I liked that it was interactive and since I had access to it at home, I had no excuse. EA Active and EA Active More Workouts were the only ones I really liked (granted, this was over a year ago now, so I'm sure there are other good ones out there!). My Wii is now collecting dust as I workout at the gym, but for 6months, it was my best friend and my biggest nightmare...but it helped me lose 20lbs!

    I love Zumba on the Wii! I try to do it at least twice a week. I've never been to proper classes, but I've heard the Wii routines are harder than those taught in classes! eeep!

    I'm not very co-ordinated, and I cannot dance... but even if you're not following the moves properly, its a good way of getting every single part of your body moving! love it.

    I need to get more wii games but I use just dance sometimes as part of my work outs. My 3 yr old son loves doing it with me and picking the songs we dance too. I do other stuff too but need to break down and buy other wii games I can use as part of my work outs.

    I just got the Wii two weeks ago. I am not too impressed with the Wii Fit Plus but I LOVE the Zumba 2...Talk about work up a sweat! I really need that. Just did it 2 days in a row and my calves are so sore....Hurts so good! LOL. I ordered Lets Dance 3 and I will be dancing in my living room sweating away the pounds. Also love to ride my bike on nice days.

    I love using the Wii for exercise. I like the Rhythm Boxing on the Wii Fit Plus and the Obstacle Course. We just got Zumba 2 this weekend. I did one of the medium length classes but didn't have the remote in the belt correctly so it didn't measure my movements. I still got a good workout though. It is nice to incorporate the Wii workouts into other workout routines.

    I love EA Sports Active. The 30 day challenge is named aptly. :)

    I'd really love to get a Zumba game, but I fear I just don't have the coordination for it. Or the space in my apartment. :/

    I was hard core on my WII but I got tired of it and have not done it a long while. I enjoy the Michael Jackson expirence because its dance and fun.. I have the zumba, but when you have awesome instructors then doing the zumba on the Wii just does not compare.

    Just bought Zumba for the Wii....I love the classes, but the game is great too! Allows me a little more freedom in getting in to the moves, less embarrassment. :)

    I don't use it much anymore since getting a treadmill, but wii fit helped me lose the first 100 pounds. Took me from morbidly obese to someone that can run a 5K and is working through 30DS. It annoys me to hear anyone discount it as a serious tool. (not that anyone has here that I've seen, but I've seen it)

    I have Zumba as well, but I'm seriously uncoordinated and it wasn't a good fit for me. Great exercise though!

    My Wii won't read disks! I have to send it in for repair.

    I used to do WiiFit a lot, especially the step while I was watching TV. Once it's fixed, I think I should get back into the routine. I'm interested in the Zumba; how similar is it to the real thing?

    I have NO coordination at all, so don't worry about that, you can still easily do it :)

    I have a home gym, my step dad did it all up for me but I just don't use any of the equipment as I find it boring lol. Recently I've started using my wii for my workouts, especially on my really bad depression days, my little brother plays on it more than anyone else so most of the games are mario games lol, but I like the wii sports resort game. I loved playing basketball as a kid lol, I'm waiting for my zumba 2 to arrive, should be tomorrow or wednesday excited and nervous lol.
    I'm not trying to lose, I'm trying to gain but tone up.
    Is zumba 2 good at all? Have you noticed any changes in your body?

    I have:
    EA Active Sports
    Wii Sports
    Wii Sports Resort
    Wii Fit Plus
    Just Dance 2
    Zumba

    This along with walking around my subdivision and some running is how I have lost all of my weight. So I agree with the previous poster that the Wii is definitely a beneficial weight loss/exercise tool.
