Wii Fitness

Has anyone bought a Wii to try their fitness programs/games?

I picked one up yesterday and have only gotten to the first set of games that came with it. The sports games. You can really work up a sweat doing these games. I just had several rounds of tennis and I went ahead and bought the accessories package that gives you the racket and baseball bat etc.

I LOVE IT!

I hate working out but this is fun... I don't mind sweating when I'm having a blast.

I also bought the EA games personal trainer program. I'm not sure if I'll be able to use it since I can't strap the leg thing on properly due to a health issue but so far the games themselves are doing awesomely.

Does anyone recommend fun active games?

Annie, I don't have one, but there are several people here who do and LOVE it, especailly the Wii Fit.  I've tried the bowling and absolutely loved it.  MUST get me a Wii.  :)

I love Wii Boxing! It is really hard work out and you can knock the heck out of something!

I rented the Jilliam Michaels game to go with the Wii Fit board and really enjoyed it to.

Oooh, I think I would like to try the boxing.  How strenuous is it though? 

My favourites for the Wii are........


and.....

In either case, you can use the Wii Fit board or not..... they work either way. I love my Wii and Wii Fit!!!
 

I bought the Active one you posted. I'm not sure I can use it though since I can't put on the leg band properly. I'd really like to use it though I"m not sure if  I should bring it back or keep it until later on when I lose some. I couldn't get the fit board since I exceed it's weight limit but hopefully soon I can use that too :)

I bought the accessories back with the tennis racket and bat and wheel.. I want to get the boxing gloves and dumbell weights.

I love boxing so I think I'll pick up that boxing game!

I'd be tempted to keep it for when you can use it properly. We have the boxing gloves and I love them!! I didn't know they had weights for it though!
The boxing part of the Wii Fit game was my favourite so when I saw the Cardio Boxing I picked it up and was not disappointed!! It's so much fun!!!

Definitely gonna go get the cardio boxing then.. I love boxing. I tried Tae Bo once and skipped the kicking part lol

Ok here I get to humiliate myself haha.  The WII personal trainer was on sale at walmart this week for 19 bucks {my friend said she paid 40} so I got it.  I was setting it up doing my measurements etc and we got to the heart rate part.  The Mo Fo wanted me to do jumping jacks.  No offense but my {woot woot just under} 400 lbs ass can't do jumping jacks my stomache will knock me out {wish I could say it was the boobs haha} anyhow I did the top half and did the side fast with my feet.  When I did the take pulse part it said I had used 97% of my body's energy to do it haha ha {Don't know what that means but when my son who is 6 feet and 150 wet did it he used 47 % of his body energy haha} so I guess it was telling me I have a slugs ability haha.  By teh time I finished doing the crunches and jumping ahemm side to side jacks and the bending and touching floor I didn't have any energy left to do the program hahaah.
LOL Well at least I got exercize.

I love the wii fit!!  Some of the activities are more fun than hard work, but I'm actually enjoying the running ones, and I love the step ones!  I actually ran 3.1 miles(american game, you know) the other day in just twenty minutes!!
