angieband 7 Posted January 15, 2013 im thinking of buying a new wii system because i gave my old one away. (hardly used it) I am seeing there are great work out games such as wii fit and zumba and just dance. I am wondering if this would be a good workout. I would do them for a half hour to an hour everyday, 5 to 6 days a week. Please let me know if getting the wii again is a good choice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted January 15, 2013 Actually yes, we have a Wii and the Just Dance is a good work out when you're on the faster/harder songs. We don't have Zumba but I imagine it would be a lot better than the Just Dance. I will say this: We also have an Xbox 360 with Kinect. I actually MUCH prefer it for dancing games, and pretty much everything, over Wii. With the Xbox Kinect you don't need any controller. It reads your body movement, so there's a ton more freedom and variety. With the Wii, you have to hold the remote and/or nunchuck. Best wishes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4sweeties 63 Posted January 15, 2013 I love WII just dance and cheer (lol more than my daughter loves it). I get tired from it and it feels like a work out. Thanks for your post, it's a reminder, on days I don't go to the gym or outside for exercise, wii is there. I think it's a good starting point for exercising.

bar2373 138 Posted January 15, 2013 Does anyone have any suggestions on the best wii workout. I have the wii fit but I never really felt like it was much of a workout. It has been a while though too since I was on it. Are there any new games and/or work outs, out there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renee2817 76 Posted January 15, 2013 My son bought me the wii fitness for christmas, i had to have gallbladder surgery soon after, so haven't really had the chance to use it, I will be using everyday after my post-op on the 25th. I am so looking forward to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted January 16, 2013 Any exercise you were not doing before is good! Especially if it make you sweat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shanna H 30 Posted January 16, 2013 I have researched the different exercise games and I prefer Zumba or Just Dance 4. There is also "Walk it out" that I am going to invest in. I played tennis today and felt like I got a good workout in for starters. I have severe bad knees and until I can lose the weight, I need to take it slow.
