Do you use or ever used Wii fit plus?

My wife and I used Wii Fit for like a month. I didn't really feel like I was accomplishing much, and I really wanted to punch the little Wii character in the throat every time he asked me where I had been or why I gained weight.
I wouldn't really trust the Wii calorie burn unless you can confirm it with a HRM. Wii seems to exaggerate.

I have Wii Fit Plus but I only use it for stuff like yoga and when I don't need to burn mnay calories.Jillian Michaels has a Wii game called "Fitness Ultamatum" and I usually burn 200 or more calories in 35 minutes depending on the intensity.Try that...Amazon usually has the games for less then Kmart and Walmart.They're just estimated calories tho.Have Fun!

Exerbeat is a good one. I've burned 700 cals on an hour of that, It has boxercising, karate, pilates, latin dancing. you start off with short routines and unlock longer ones as you go and earn miles around the world.

People say Zumba games give you a good calorie burn, and the Just Dance ones.

I use the Wii for the toning and the games challenge my co-ordination then make up the rest of the calories on my exercise pedals, if I did a low burn session on the Wii.

You could also combine it with a exercise DVD like the 30 day shred for roughly 30 mins then 30 mins of boxing on wii or something? (Wii sports used to come free with the console)

I dont really want to get rid of the whole console because of so many different games I can play with the board. I don't get the whole balance thing though?

Exerbeat is for the Wii and has a selection of latin dance that can be done on balance board. My fitness Coach cardio workout has a selection of games that can be done using the balance board and the boxing section also gives you a good workout.
The biggest loser game has mixture of workouts that involve the board and can choose your goal like trimming tummy or high intensity workouts, choose your target time and it puts together a routine for you.

You don't only have to play on the Wii Fit plus that came with it!

The aim of the balance games are to improve your balance and core strength, not specifically to burn as many cals as possible. Though if you combine the games with 4 or 5 METS you will burn more like the jog, hula hoop, advanced step, cycling around island one etc.. so could start with selection of those to get heart rate going then slow down with the yoga and muscle exercises.

I'm sure I read somewhere that low impact actually burns more body fat than high impact stuff but I can't remember where, something to do with when you go anaerobic, your body starts using muscle to get the energy from to do the workouts or something?

Try combining a few games to get a mixed hour routine if you want a bit that gets you out of breath first.

I just started using Wii fitness Plus.I do free run for 20 minutes then I made my own routine that's 21 mins of some of the yoga and strength moves. I always get a good sweat and can really feel my arms and abs getting toned. I love the plank and push up /side plank move. I also burn way more calories on my elliptical but it's nice to have something different to do . I also need to tone now along with cardio.
