Wii Fit Recs

Hey Ladies!

We have a Wii and I want to get a Wii Fit soon.  I've been looking into some of the reviews for some of the fitness games and was wondering if I could get some recommendations on which ones are worth buying and give you a good work out?

EA Active, My Fitness Coach, Golds Gym Cardio or Biggest Loser?

Could you comment on any of the ones you have used and what is worth buying and what isnt?   I hate to buy something that isnt going to give me a good work out or be worth the money. 

Thanks in advance!

Re: Wii Fit Recs

  • Maybe you will do better with it than we did but ours has been used exactly three times in the last 4 months.  DH bought it just before New Years and I hate video games so I had a feeling I wouldnt like it.  I tried it a couple of times but it moves too slowly for me and its annoying.  It might be better if we had more space as we have to move some stuff around to be able to use it but I still dont think it would be worthwhile.  The third time it was used was more for entertainment when some friends were over.
  • It depends on what you want to accomplish but for a serious workout I would say either EA Active or the Jillian Michaels games.  We have Wii Fit and it is fun but it is all about balance so you're basically just shifting your weight.  DH has tried Active and I have the JM and both are great because you keep the controller on your body as you do the actions.  For example, with JM one activity is to pick up paint grenades and throw them at a target but the remote is in your hand so you actually have to bend over and pick it up then make the throwing motion.

    The Wii Fit hula hooping and ski jump are hilarious while drinking though...

  • EA Active seemed to give a good workout but I only used it once and DH used it twice.

  • Thanks everyone!

    I have seen the Wii Fit games and know that its not really meant for a work out, more for fun than anything.. but Im thinking about doing EA Active or some of those other work out games... like JM or Golds Gym. I appreciate the opinions!   I dont know how often I'll use them, but it would be nice to have the option to do these if I really want to.. have to wait and see, Im not sure yet what I want to do.

  • I got my Wii Fit as a bridal shower present from my MIL (was she trying to tell me something?) and have used it once. Not worth the money to me but hopefully you will be better at it!
