Does anyone use a Wii for workout games?

I've got Wii Fit and EA Sports Active 2 already, but I'm getting bored and considering purchasing a new game.

Any suggestions?

    I have those two, but quit using wii fit as I find it to be extremely boring. I also mix up EA active 2 with zumba 2 and golds gym dance workout. That way if i dont feel like doing a coordinated exercise program, I can just pick some songs, dance, move and sweat like a fool, and still feel it the next day while burning quite a few calories!

    I have Zumba 2 for Wii and I love it. I don't do it often, because I am at the gym on most days. But, when I do it at home, I love it.

    I saw those at the store when I was looking, but I'm always afraid of dance type games because I have absolutely no rhythm. I swear I'm probably the worlds worst dancer!

    Exerbeat is fun. It does have some dance .... but lots of other things too. Karate, Boxing, Yoga, Pilates, and Dance. It starts off pretty slow .... you have to use it a bit before you can pick the longer workouts. Once you get going .. it's good.

    I use Wii Active 2. I also have wii fit - but agree with someone else that posted it gets boring. I really like the Active 2 game - its fun and it wears me out...

    I have Zumba 2 and LOVE it (who cares if I'm uncoordinated, no one is watching me at home :P). I have one of the Just Dance games - 3, I think - and it's OK but not really my cup of tea, apparently. I also have the Golds Gym Shadow Boxing game, and THAT one IS a workout. The Wii Fit Plus I use for yoga mostly, some of the games just 'cuz they're fun, but I don't really like it for cardio. My boys, however, LOVE the running game :) (they're 5, 3, and 1.5).

    I just recently bought the first Wii Zumba game and I love it. I'm slowly building that collection and I'm going to get a Wii Fit soon. :) Yeah, I'm a little behind lol

    I use the Wii fit Plus and until I can master the step and rhythm boxing I will be staying. I want to get Zumba as well here in a couple of weeks I think.

    The dance games really require a lot of floor space, so keep that in mind. I like EA Active and Wii Fit Plus, but one that hasn't been mentioned here is Walk It Out! It's more or less a relaxing walk where you build houses, shops, parks, plant trees, earn constellations, etc on "Rhythm Island." It took me about 3 months of daily walking to complete the game. I guess if Wii is your thing, then this is another option. These days, I'm preferring my treadmill and elliptical since I can burn more calories faster that way.

    I also have Wii Ski and Wii Vacation, both are more active and use the Fit Board. I've noticed too, there is a football training program. It looks intense.

    I do not care for the Zumba 1 for Wii. It is hard to follow the blobs of color. In Zumba 2, it's actual people, so you can see the movement more clearly. Now, when I said I loved it, I didn't say I was a trained dancer. In fact, I can't dance. I just enjoy trying.

    Zumba 2 on the Wii is good, though I find it best to do if you have loads of energy - actually makes you sweat!
    The biggest loser is pretty painful, and Just Dance 2 is great if you just wanna have fun!
