Answer 1

I like a variety! It keeps my routine from getting stale.



The two "games" that have helped me the most are Wii Fit Plus and My Fitness Coach. Wii Fit Plus is lighter exercise of the two. If you want a heart-pounding workout, I can't speak highly enough of My Fitness Coach. It can routinely be found for $20, too, so it's a very small risk/investment. It's very, very smart in tailoring a workout to your abilities, needs, and desires.



I do enjoy Wii Fit Plus quite a bit, too. ^_^ The workouts aren't always intense enough for me, but when I'm not in as good of shape or I want to take it easier and have more fun, it's a good program. It has been especially excellent for rehab and pain management post-injury.



Other games I love for cardio are DDR and Gold's Gym Cardio Fitness. I think everyone knows what DDR is, but search for Dance Dance Revolution on Youtube if you aren't sure. It's fun, and tons of people have lost weight on it because it makes you sweat but the gameplay is addictive enough that some people spend hours on it. Gold's Gym is mostly cardio boxing to peppy music, and I find it fun and challenging.



Those are far and away the best workout games I've tried. I really don't care for EA Sports at all. I've read reviews and realize I'm in the minority on this, but it catches, the on-screen character you control is unresponsive, and I just think it's more frustrating than fun. Stay away from The Biggest Loser and Wii Pilates, as those games have horrendous ratings for a reason. I haven't heard of the game with Jenny McCarthy, which surprises me a little because I'm all about exercising on the Wii, but you can look up the game at metacritic.com. Metacritic compiles data from all the online review sites to give you a good idea of how well the game was received.



Hope that helps--happy exergaming!

Answer 2

Wii Weight Loss Games

Answer 3

The games you mentioned are for old people...boring, boring, boring :)



One nice thing about being a young girl is that a lot of games are made just for people your ago. Grownups don't like to admit they like these games, but they secretly do. ;)



Some of the best ones:



- Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 3: The classic. Move your feet to the right places on the dance pad and work up a sweat

- We Cheer 2: Great cheerleading simulation, and a great workout when you really get going.

- Wii Fit Plus: the strength training and yoga are not fun, but they make up for it with the Training Plus games



Whatever you choose, the most important thing is to have fun, and you'll find you're staying fit without realizing it!



Good luck!

Answer 4

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.



I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.



It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

Answer 5

Probably Wii Fit

Answer 6

Wii Fit is alright at first, then it just gets boring. I reccomend saving your money for a good game (like Super Mario Galaxy) and then just going for a run with a friend. it's way more fun ^-^



If you really want to know though, I've heard that EA Active has the best most vigorous excercise routines. (although Wii Fit Plus is better for Yoga)



EDIT: Dance Dance Revolution is great fun especially with other people

Answer 7
