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. Did I overlook something? Just seems like such a crazy omission. First of I love your site!
Ea Active Sports More Workouts is next. Than Ea Sports Active 2. Thank you for this list. These are excelant reviews! When are you going to review Wii 10 Mintue Solutions?
What neat information…I am a 75 year old senior and I have been pretty active at excerising…I would like to use my Wii game and board for excerise but not sure which Wii game to choose. I do have some arthritis but can move without pain and pretty actively. Thanks for any input…. Hi Cassie. It will also have two-player mode so you can play against each other. One thing that is nice to know is statistics on the programs such as how many different exercises are there and how long do they last if each is done once.
The Wii Fit Plus has 18 Yoga exercises, 15 strength exercises, 9 aerobic and some games. The Yoga and Strength exercises combined last about 1 hour in the fastest mode routine mode. In the training mode it takes longer since the results are judged and a score is given. Also in the training mode the strength exercises can be changed to advanced mode. The Wii Fit Plus takes good advantage of the Balance Board by having most of the exercises emphasize balance and form.
I also like that many of the exercises can be done by beginners but some get difficult in the advanced mode. Try doing the One Arm Stand in the 20 repetition mode. Also the push-up, jack knife and plank challenges are a good workout for advanced users. The aerobics are ok and are scored so that adds a challenge but they are not for advanced users.
I started with them but eventually started jogging outdoors for aerobics. The dance programs recommended here would probably be better. Most of the exercises are for mid and lower body but there are a few for the upper body. Separate weight training would be needed for a full upper body workout. Thanks for this very helpful guide. I imagine that like me many people find this useful. This will definitely help me with my future Wii game purchases. Thanks again for the excellent guide.
I was wondering if there was an exercise game based on martial arts for the Wii. I thought I saw a commercial about a year ago featuring 2 characters facing each other doing Karate or Kung Fu or something like that. This is a great site! Thanks for this list. I am just around one month in with my Wii Fit Plus and still really enjoying myself a lot with it. But, I had no idea there were so many other great Wii fitness style games available.
Now that I know there are all these great games to try out I will be taking her up on her offer so I can try some of your suggestions and decide which ones will go on my Christmas list. Thanks for updating the list. I have about half of these games.
I have the first 2 games. Should I trade in the first 2 for the new one? Also what Wii exercise accessories or just fitness accessories in general do u recommend? What about the nest Wii Exercise games that are currently still in Japan?
With a possible USA release soon?? Hi, So glad I found the site. I purchased a Wii for my kids this Christmas and am looking to buy a an exercise game for me to use, too! I am wondering if you can recommend games that are easy on the knees, but still offer a good workout. I am leaning towards Wii Fit Plus. EA Sports sounds like it might be too hard on my knees? Does the branding and the familiar faces and name should give it a better rating instead? I am looking for some sort of weight training to add to my workouts.
All I seem to find in Wii is cardio.. I was wondering, have you tried the Golds Gym Cardio Workout? I was wondering how that one is…? Also, I have been looking for some 2 player exercise games; my friend and I have been exercising together for motivation and would like to do it together instead of just watching each other!
Thanks so much! Hi Belinda. Decent game which spent a lot of time on the Top 10 list before it was ousted. Rachelle, I would definitely recommend Riiflex weights. They turn almost any Wii game into a weight training workout.
Hi, Am in the midst of purchasing a Wii mainly to exercise with it, having tried and failed at gym memberships and walking outdoors.
Thank you very very much for your reviews of the exercise games because my head is spinning from reading all the Amazon reviews! Was on the verge of buying My Fitness Coach until I read your reviews….
I used to like zumba fitness but it got boring fast. Having lots of fun. I have to get a balance board so we can use it. Thank you for all the reviews you included. Wii is a very great gaming exercise.
I never lose the fun and I always enjoy playing it. Thanks for sharing the best games in Wii. I really love the choices. Just wondering if there are any good Wii exercise games for 2 or more people.
We are getting an exercise group together and there are 4 of us. Im trying to find a low impact game my 10 year old son and i can work out side by side at the same time. The problem, i am close to pounds and have bad knees. I definitely encourage you to continue to post your thoughts on the Top 10 list here.
I have the WII fit and I do like playing the games. I like Wii Fit Plus for yoga, balance, and strength. I had the original Just Dance and with all my furniture moved out of the way and four players up and dancing I found it to be the best party game ever.
After your great review I really should pick up a copy of Just Dance 3. I might have to try the Zumba Fitness one too for the fun of it. If you enjoy dance, do not have a problem learning dance steps and are only interested in aerobics than Just Dance 3 is a good choice.
I have had the EA Sports Active 2 since it came on the market as well as previous versions. I love them! They are the only exercise programs that keep me exercising. I went through the cardio kick start and 9 week challenge. Now I have my own workouts based on my favorite exercises and I can focus on areas I choose. They took away the port that it plugs into.
Oh well. It took me a while to find any Wii fitness games I liked. I have most of these games and I have to say my favorite is Gold Gym cardo dance workout and Exerbeat they are both fun and will give you great workout. Exerbeat the more you play the more you unlock, you are working your way around the world which I have done twice.
Golds gym dance workout is really fun and a great workout that does not kill your knees, the only bad part is every 4th excercise it wants to check your pulse By the way I have never seen Exerbeat in a store anywhere I got mine online. I like the idea of the Cyberbike. Welcome to Gaming Fit formerly Nutwiisystem. Our Community ID is: Looking for workout games on Xbox? Visit our sister sites XboxFitness.
