Ok I heard someone talking about the wii fit. I have one but the only thing I feel that is worth me doing is running. So I run 3.5 miles everyday on it. I thought I heard someone else saying they had another Wii game they liked better than wii fit. Please help?

sorry, i don't know your name but my grandson has a game that i enjoy and found it was a good workout.  he has one with bowling, boxing (really a great workout), baseball and golf.  I'm not sure if there were others on it or not.  hope this helps.

Yeah, I play all of those too. But it does not feel like a work out. I want something that will get your heart rate up and stay up for 30 min or longer.

Thanks for your reply!

 I really like my Wii Fit all you do is run you don't play the balancing games?  I really like the boxing, steps, and hola hoop on wii fit.  I also love tracking my weight.. I got on this morning and I was NORMAL! 

Have you tried personal trainer or the Biggest loser Julian work out game?  I haven't done them yet so can't say if they are good

Ohhh...be careful of the Biggest Looser Julian game...it has extremely bad reviews online. Apparently, the graphics are horrible and there is a time/lag difference between when you do an action and when the game registers the action...so much so that it is apparently maddening to play.

However, this is all hearsay! I haven't played it myself.....

Yeah I do the balancing games too. But during the week I push for time and I just want a hard core work out. Like something that will keep my heart rate up for 30 min. I have 2 small girls at home so I have to use my time wisley.
Thanks and open to any more Ideas you may have.

I bet the other game they wearing discussing was "My Fitness Coach". It doesn't use the wii fit board but it does provide a good workout! It is a bit like the old workout videos but is still fun.

Plus, there are more games coming out for the wii fit board...right before Christmas a batch of games came out for the wii fit board and there are some more scheduled for, I think, March....

Good luck finding some fun exercise games!

...Oh, I also use Dance, Dance Revolution a lot...it also gives a good workout.

What does the Fitness Coach do? Is it a good upbeat workout. I hate doing one thing and waiting to do another. I want something upbeat. Thanks and  Let me know if you have any more ideas.

The best part about Fitness Coach is that you don't have to stop in-between each activity!

Before investing in any games...I recommend going to Blockbuster or some local video rental store and rent some of the wii games....and see what you like.

Good luck!
