I haven't purchased a Wii fit yet. Some people like them. But I mean just the Wii. My family has started using "Just Dance 2" We work up a sweat and it's really fun. What Wii games do you use?

I have used the wii for exercise. I've used Wii Sports for the boxing and it had given me a bit of a workout, I've used the wii fit game as well. We Ski well I guess it's not much of a workout, but I've played it too. Now I usually just weigh myself and that's about it, that is to say on the wii.

I like how boxing would make me work up a sweat and wii tennis was a bit of a lazy sport for me xD

Dance Dance Revolution games are so much fun! I use them for exercise and fun. The ones for the PlayStation 2 are a lot more fun though. I didn't enjoy the ones for the Wii as much as the PlayStation 2 ones.

No, I am not. But, I do see many people using the system. Very interesting. One can do different exercizes right at home, and at one's convenience. I am also thinking of having one.

I have the Wii and the Wii fit.. but I'm not crazy about them. It's not really enough of a work out for me. For those with mobility problems or just issues getting out of the house and to a gym, these are great tools to help you get moving. But for me, someone who goes to the gym daily and does boot camp and cycling classes everyday... yeah, those wii fit work outs are litterally like taking a walk in the park, LOL. Though I'm interested in trying the new X Box connect dance game.. that looks like fun.

I don't use my wii to exercise. I would rather go to a swimming pool and lap swim than use the wii. A good idea to have a good exercise would be to put a treadmill in front of your tv and walk/jog/run on your treadmill while doing the wii or watch tv. It sounds entertaining and fun to do!

I do use the wii for exercise. I can't right now due to my health issues, but when I was doing good I used it all the time. I have the you shape which is a camara based exersie that you don't have to use the wii remotes. I also have the biggest loser. The biggest loser game is awesome because it really kicks your butt you can choose who you want to work with either Jillian or Bob. I always pick Jillian. The other good thing about this game is that it gives you recipies to help you with a diet.
