Buy a Wii or XBox for Fun Exercise



Recommended Posts

I want a fun way to exercise ! I realized that I need something at my house to get me going . Either before work or after work. Which is better?

I haven't tried it myself but ive heard a lot about Bodyrocktv.com. Its supposed to have all sorts of FREE workouts you can do at home. Ive also heard of Insanity Workouts. We did get the Tony Horton 10 minute Trainer a long time ago, tried it a few times and really felt like a strong workout. We don't do it anymore as we have no room to do it but it was a good workout. Maybe look into some of them, or see if your local library has workout videos. etc. Good luck !

I love playing Dance Central on XBox. I keep playing to beat my score. It makes exercising fun. I also, like Hip Hop Abs.

I had a Wii and now have a WiiU. I like it for a mild workout like Wii Fit (tracks my weight and progress). Then I have work workout games like Zumba for more intense cardio (and boy it will get you sweating). I have several friends with XBOX kinect who love it too though.

We have both but the wii fit has a weight restriction so I can't use it at my current weight.... :( I can still do the just dance games on wii though, the xbox games are fun. The wii games are easier to cheat on but with the xbox connect it is a camera sensor so no cheating lol.

We have XBOX360 with Kinect and it is such a blast! Not needing to hold controls is a plus, the minus is the Kinect needs a little more room as you cannot be too close to the TV. I have used the Wii and it is fun as well... if price is a factor, you can probably get a Wii for cheaper.

Does the Wii have as large a variety of exercise specific titles? I know the 360 has many great titles plus the various dancing and action/sports games.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
