Wii active/wii fit!I have this game for the wii and I must say I give it 10 out of 10 as far as excercise videos/games are concerned!
It really works up and sweat 
Does anyone else like it?

I have the wii fit, and i swear by this, not heard of the wii active, is it the same kind of thing? If not might have to invest in it.

Personally I think its much better than the wii fit,
it has a set programme for you (rather than picking seperate excercises on the wii fit which I found very time consuming)
it does running, lunches, arm excercises (something wii fit doesnt do) squats etc, it is great a lot cheaper than the wii fit too!

me again 
I use the wii active and the wii fit and i have also got the wii my personal coach and i love them all! think out of all of them the personal coach works me the hardest.. and it has a great interative bit where you can decide if it is to hard or to easy kinda thing. but i love the step and the boxing on the wii fit great for a bit of stress relife and the wii active 30 day program i liked because it gave me a reason to work out! even felt like i was letting the wii down if i missed a day ..god how sad is that! 
after being a total couch potato i have become abit of a freak with it but it makes me feel so good for he rest of the day otherwise 4 kids and our own business just gets ontop of me and i end up back on the couch with a pizza and chocolate!

i have to agree even though i love the wii fit board (even if it does insult me by saying i am obease how very rude ) 
i think the wii fitness coach does work you harder and i use my hand weights as well very good buy HMV had it on offer online as well xx

I have some fab news for all ytou wii users 
i have just done the 40 min low impact session ...i like theses a little bit of everything anyway on screen it said i had burned 231.7 cals yeahhh yipppeeeeee
but my darling hubby brought me a super doper all singing all dancing heart rate monitor to keep me safe while excersising and pg (so i know my max safe hearty rate ) and you imput all your vitals into it and it gives you an acurate measurement of your cals burned and at what rate ie optimum or below or above optimum .anyway my heart rate monitor says that i burned 385 cals YEAH I love my hubby ......thats a full evening meal!!! so anyway my point sorry waffeling on that excersise high!! lol what it says on screan chances are you are burning alot more ...x x x x x
whoop whoop

I really want a Wii because I think I would stick to the excersise stuff on it rather than dvds and stuff that I do occasionally.

i just did my 5th day of wii active but my goals said that they had expired, well two of them did? does anyone know why? i did it every day i was supposed to and took the rest days? also i burned more calories than i was supposed to each day? i have no idea? i did it sunday, monday, rested on tuesday, did it wednesday, thursday, rested on friday and did it today. do you have to do it at teh same time every day or something???

Right after my awful week, Im going to drag the Wii fit out and see if I can undo any of the damage although it may kill me and it will shout at me for not being on for soooo long lol x
|

with reply to the wii fit goal expired it will prob be you set yourself x amount of cals to burn in x amount of time and x amount of hours to do in x amount of time so that is what will have expired not that you have not reached your goals just the time you set has expired ...and no you definatly do not need to do it the same time and you actually don't need to set any goals if you don't want to just follow the 30 day program as you are i find wii fit alot better for keeping track of how you are doing x
to becky some times i could seriously slap that little wii board!  and the wii who as it is totting up your weight gets fatter and fatter i stand there dscreaming "but i lost and i am pregnant!!!!" lol sad eh ....... i cannot wait for it to just say over weight instead of obease and for the wii me to actually not expand quite as quickly!!!!!
good luck with getting the wii out again enjoy x x

ladymilly
