Wii Fit Plus

[AE09 3]

I bought my husband wii fit plus for our anniversary and I love it!!! It has these routines, which are reallly only 7-8 minutes long, but I like how it offers "routines" like tumy torcher, leaner mii.

We are considering buying the EA active. Any thoughts???

The EA sports active is cool. You can use it with or without the balance board. It comes with a ton of exercises with different levels of intensity. The resistance band that comes with it, is a little lightweight. You most likely will need to buy a resistance band with more resistance.

Thanks for that!!!

I would love to have the Wii Fitness..but first I'd have to have a WII. Maybe with income tax, I can manage to by one since they aren't as expensive as they use to be.

I hate to exercise, but have heard that the Wii can actually make it fun to exercise. Don't know if it is true or not, but anything is worth a try to get me back on the exercise train.

Wii is a lot of fun and you will be doing stuff an won't even realize you are exercising hahaha.

The Wii Fit Plus is SO much fun! Depending on what your original level of activity was, you can get quite the workout. However, if you are already used to doing 45 minutes of Bootcamp, then maybe not.

However, if you are just starting an exercise routine, I think the Fit Plus is an excellent way to begin exercising and enjoy what you are doing! Because if you don't enjoy it, you're not going to stick with it.

Filed my taxes last week, will get my return next Friday, and I am counting down to next friday when I can buy my Wii, and the Wii Fit, and a couple of other games. I will not get the Plus yet, as I want to work on the FIT first, and then the Plus can be a target goal for me.

The Wii Fit Plus has everything on the Wii Fit and more. If you can buy the Board with the Wii Fit Plus you will save money in the long run because once you get Wii Fit Plus you probably will no longer use your Wii Fit DVD. If I had it to do over again I would skip the Wii Fit and go right to Wii Fit Plus. You can still go at your own pace with all of the activities you just get more choices in Wii Fit Plus.

We have Wii fit and Wii fit plus. Love them both. I got the Biggest Loser for Christmas. I REALLY like that. It's your own personal trainer. The exercises are GREAT! You can do the routines they set up for you or pick which areas you want to work on (lower body, core, upper body, etc.) You can do a short duration of 16 minutes or longer for 23. They have weigh ins and challenges, etc. They break up each routine so you don't feel like you're doing the same thing the whole time you are doing it. You can also enter your calories, etc. I'm so not motivated to go to the gym so this is perfect for me. You can use it with or without the balance board. My 10 year old daughter is even using it!

I have Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, Goldsgym and I just bought Wii Active today. My favorite has to be the Wii Active. It's an all around better workout then the Wii Fit Plus. You don't have to use the board as much and it comes with a reistance band also. I absolutely LOVE it.

I'm glad to hear about Biggest Loser and Wii Active because I was considering both of them.

I agree about Wii Fit Plus over Wii fit. I like the plus much better, more options, nice combinations!

ea active (and more workouts) is BRILLIANT trust me i have lost 2 stone(24lbs) on it so far(with no band)WOW!! its a mirical worker..only 1 thing i can say tho...

alot of "larger built people wont buy it as it says 150lb weight limit,this is not the case,it is only the wii fit games for that..it can hold up to 600lbs,so i think it will be ok for most of us "big boned people"!!!:confused:

i love it...

[AE09 3]

Yeah the Wii Fit and Wii fit plus have up to 300 lb weight limit for the balance board, when we first got it my husband was 297 lbs, now he sits at 280...wish it would fall off me that quick :confused:

I've been using the Wii Active since Christmas and I love it! It's helped me lose more weight then I probably would have working out on my own! The resistance training is good for getting yourself pumped up for real weights I think, which I know I'll need to help get rid of these flabby arms! >_> And you can start working out on easy, which is like 10-15 min, and then progress to medium, or hard. I'm loving it!

I found the Wii Fit Plus (with the board as I didn't have it before) at Sam's Club in November for only $10 more than the regular Wii Fit (with board). The Plus has all the same stuff that the Wii Fit has, plus more (thus the plus!). So I'd recommend going ahead and spending the extra $10 and buy the Plus to begin with. If you try to buy it later (without the board) you'll spend at least $20 for just the game.

Good luck and have fun!
