Aerobic wii games

Since you have tried all of these games I thought you would be best to ask. Early reviews are certainly pretty good. Stay tuned to the blog! Jennie, as funny as it sounds, I would recommend a game like We Cheer 2. For more grown-up fare, EA Sports Active is good too; you can customize your workouts so you can eliminate specific exercises that force you to put pressure on your ankle and set that as your daily routine.

Good list by the way. I prefer the games that are fun yet incorporate fitness….. My fiancee and I just bought a Wii for Christmas and I have to say that this list will be very helpful if I want to buy any more fitness games in the future.

We have the Wii Fit Plus and I love it. The part I really enjoy, but wish there was more of, is the aerobic step game. Do you know of any good games that focus more on that style of aerobics? I just wanted to say that I just received a Wii for Xmas and the whole point is to help me lose weight. I found this super helpful and also I think you are funny!

I am excited to go out and get some of these suggestions. Would you recommend having more than one? Since so many of them now offer personal goals and routines? I also have Wii Fit Plus which I love. Which one is best? Also, there will be a new My Fitness Coach coming out next week and I would like to know will you review that game. I hope this new one is more interactive then the last one. I just got the Wii and Wii Fit Plus for christmas and after using it for 3 days I was so sore that I could hardly move and it was just what I had been looking for!

I have been reading alot of reviews on other fitness games and am still up in the air on what to purchase next…. Biggest Loser or Wii Active — Do you have any input on which game would keep me moving?! Hi I can not afford the balance board at this time, but really want to start the new year off with a good diet and exercise. Thank you. Ps so glad i found this site. I have only tried the Biggest Loser out of all of these, but it has on option to play with the balance board or without.

It appears to be the exact same workouts either way. I actually kind of prefer it without. I am looking for a Wii game that will help my husband and I put in weight stats and then compete against each other to track out loss and improvement.

And work out together is a big must so that we can push each other a bit. Would love any suggestions. I am looking for a Wii game that my husband and I can use together and as competition. A game that lets us enter our stats and then show any losses and improvements. I would like to work out with him and against him. Any suggestions? Fortunately I got it for free to demo. My all time new favorite by far though is Just Dance! Sooo much fun and by far the best cardio of anything.

Anything else coming up in the future now that this latest batch of games have been released? I think that a good step aerobic game would be very popular, and am surprised nothing like that has come out yet. I will put this on my list of favorites and continue to check back often. You do an excellent job of giving a very comprehensive and unbiased opinion. Thanks again! Part of that is that the My Routines only include Yoga and Strength options. You need to play each aerobics exercise individually and then set up the next one.

It would be nive to be able to string them together in the My Routines menu. I do feel my muscles working it, specially the next day. Not hurting, but I can tell they are being used. We also have a 6 and 8 year olds. The Balance Board exercises and games work based on your weight. So, if you have kids, it is great to have that in there.

One last thing, it would be great to have reviews of DDR dance mats. I have one that kind of moves around on carpet. Being on carpet, it also does not register some moves which makes it frustrating. I am thinking in gluing some plywood underneath it. Any suggestions on a site that reviews DDR style dance mats? I have not been able to find any. I just wanted to say thank you for this list!

Thank you! Then I bought EA Sports Active the first one and it had set workout programs to follow which was a big plus..

Now that its i just bought Fit Plus because of all the new exercises and I look forward to the fun ones.. I weigh just under and cannot do squats as low as the game requires. The game hung so that even taking the nunchuk off of my leg and lowering it lower did not get the game moving again, I had to turn off the Console to abort the game.

We resolved it by having her sit on the couch instead of actual squats. It works the same muscles if you use proper form. After a while she was able to move down to the couch more slowly with more stability. Hey everyone! Just wanted to say thanks for all the comments! Rest assured, I will continue to keep it updated with the very best out there. Stay tuned, and thanks for visiting! Just before christmas I bought 5 fitness games and I found all the reviews here very helpful.

Best page on Wii fitness games on the web. After having used them for a while I have decided to just keep Wii fit plus and EA sports Active: more workouts. They are by far the best of the bunch. You can find reviews on eg. They are simply games where you imitate sports movements in order to win. Thanks for creating this awesome website.

It is so jam packed with great information. I have been having lots of fun with Wii Fit but would now like to get something new. I particularly like the step plus and balance components of Wii Fit and am looking for something similar but that will push my energy levels to the max. I would appreciate any advice on what you think will allow me to develop and have fun? Cheers Linda. I agree with the EAS game being 1. Wii fit and Biggest Loser are just way too easy and not much of a workout.

One game that maybe came out after you made this list is Walk It Out. It sounds like an incredibly dumb game concept — but it has me doing a LOT of walking, and I think it is a bit like interval training, since some of the songs have slower beats, others faster, and you are trying to step in time with the beat.

And some of the time, I am basically jogging. Much better for the calves, and I suspect a better workout, too. What do you suggest for a senior citizen who has been critically ill for a year I had a Systemic Lupus Errythematosis flare-up that kept me pretty much bed ridden for 9 months. I need something to help me get back my muscle tone and just feel better in general.

Thank you for your help. I would definitely try Walk It Out by Konami. I would play it while carrying some very light hand weights to get muscle tone on both your arms and legs. Really like your Wii exercise reviews. Wii Fit is good, but want something to really make me move!

Will probably buy Just Dance, based on all of the comments I see here. Also would like to see a Wii Zumba…. Anyone looking for a real workout should consider this. I followed this link from one of your Amazon reviews, and I am so glad I did! Your reviews are great. I have EA sports personal trainer part one and love it, but have been doing the excercises for almost over a year and really dont feel like it isnt challenging me much even on high intensity.

I really want to buy part 2, do you feel like it is more challenging than the first? BTW my husband just started using EA sports personal trainer with me and he loves it, he swears his back has not bothered him since he started it!!!! Hi DavidG. My Fitness Coach had been on this list for a long time, but as you referenced, it was its lack of true interactivity that bumped it off the list. Still, having been a former top ten title, is forever immortalized in the Best of the Rest Wii Fitness Games list.

I have wii fit plus but am gettin so bored with it what is another fitness game that is good for someone who weighs kg? I have no idea every time I look at a video they have some skinny as girl. Thanks for all of the great info. My husband and I are new to the wii and all that it offers.

So far it seems as if everything is set to be single player. Stephanie, thanks for keeping me on my toes no pun intended :.

I will be posting a review of Dance Sensation as soon as I can get a copy. Good luck! The price of Active Life Extreme challenge went way! Thanks for this list! I tend to get bored if I play the same thing too many times in a row, so I like to mix things up a bit. Thank you again! This was very helpful. Interrogation like a drill seargent to get going. I just want to plug it in and go. I love the Wii Active, but the leg strap drives me crazy. Especially during the lounges or squats.

Any suggestions on getting the fit of the leg strap right so I can enjoy this game more? Works great so far i have lost 8 pounds. The only hard part is that in order for it to work you must go on a diet.

Kudos on a fantastic compilation of helpful reviews for those of us who would like to use the wii for exercise. I love how you rate the games by intensity AND fun factor. That makes it a heck of a lot easier to choose the right game. Thanks so much for all of your hard work! Thanks for a great wrap up on the exergames for Wii. Step aerobics simply referred to as "Step" in-game focus on stepping on and off the Wii Balance Board in a rhythmic fashion.

In jogging, which does not use the Wii Balance Board , the player runs in place while keeping the connected Wii Remote in his or her pocket, which acts as a pseudo-pedometer. The game provides variations of step aerobics and jogging called "Free Step" and "Free Run" respectively where the user may exercise at his or her own pace and does not require viewing the game screen; the player is able to watch television or something similar while performing the exercise. Balance Games consist of nine activities that focus on directly controlling the game using the player's Center of Balance.

Another, "Table Tilt," focuses on directing balls into holes by shifting the player's balance to tilt the platform they rest on. This will allow families to have a friendly competition to exercise and get fit. Variety, fun and progress tracking; Wii Fit has it all. So, Wii owners if you ready to reclaim your balance and get fit all you need is Wii Fit, a few minutes a day to play and the urge to have fun.

Get on board today. Product Description Get a great workout right in your home without going to the gym. Nintendo Wii Fit with Wii Balance Board turns your living room into a fitness center for the whole family. In step aerobics, you have to step on and off the balance board in time to what's shown onscreen. You'll get an "OK" for performing the move, but you'll obtain a "perfect" if you nail the timing!

The better your performance, the more energetic the music becomes. Advanced Step is both longer and more complicates than Basic Step. This time, there are two new moves: the green arrows indicate that you need to kick your leg out in the shown direction, while the purple icons mean that you need to step onto the board sideways in the shown direction. It can be tricky at first, but you'll soon get used to it. In Free Step, it's just you stepping on and off the board for 10 minutes. Since there is no music, it's encouraged that you watch TV, while letting the sounds emit from the Wii Remote speaker provide you with the proper timing.

Objective: Jog in place at a constant speed to keep pace with your trainer. Jogging doesn't require the balance board at all.
