I have been using the Wii Fit for a little over a week and have lost almost 4 pounds.

The Wii lets you advance as you can. It has strength training, yoga, aerobatics and balance.

My sister told me today that her local Nursing Home has one in for their residents.

Check it out. :thumbup:

I want DDR

I got the Jillian game. Truthfully, I've not had the delay anyone else here has complained about. Plus I just went to training, and did custom training and had a choice of activities. I didn't have to do the running. I did though. Burned off a bunch of calories :thumbs_up: Always a good thing. And I did my wii fit free steps this morning. I have to update my ticker now.

I will be keeping it. I won't be using it daily like I do the wii fit. Oh I mentioned wii fit, because I bumped the free step up to 30 minutes today. I was a puddle with that, and now with the jillian game. The graphics aren't the best, and some of the activities will need fine tuning before I really get it. Like the boat rowing, I was so totally lost (my kids stood in front of the tv during the directions). The jumping one I don't quite get.

Is DDR hard to get the hang of if you have never played it? I love dancing but I am worried that I wouldn't understand how the game works and get frustrated. Let me know your thoughts!!!!

the ddr has a beg stage that really helps you adapt to the steps, then you move forward as you get more comfortable and coordinated. its really fun. my whole family loves it.

I have the wii fit and absoulutely love it and I am asking for the DDR for Christmas bc I have heard that its AWESOME!!!!

I was at costco with my sister and mother and saw a Wii game called Outdoor Challenge. It has a mat that is probably similar to DDR. It has some really fun activities like Whack a Mole and jump roping that get me moving. I haven't tried the one where you sit on the mat and tilt to the left and right, but hubby said even that one seems to work some muscles.

With that, the Wii Fit and my recumbent bike, I have no excuses to not workout during the Fall and Winter months.

I've seen an ad for the Jillian program, but didn't know it was out yet. Thanks for adding a link. Those reviews were just awful! I love Amazon's customer reviews. I think I've been saved from bad purchases by going there first many times!

I have the outdoor challenge on my wish list for christmas too. I'm hoping my dbf gets it for me. Although I have my doubts.

That outdoor game sounds fun... Man my Christmas list is filling up with all these fun wii games (that even will include exercise) Can't wait until Christmas:tongue::tongue:

Mine varies in items... most are fitness related, or clothing

I am so glad someone talked about the WII FIT! I was wondering if there were people who did the wii fit and not a gym! So do you feel you are losing your potential weight? Or do you feel the gym would be more of a success? The reason in me asking this, is because I have self image issues about going to the gym, but I want to lose a lot of weight as quick as I can and keep it off. I have not had to surgery yet, but I am hoping to have it soon! Please let me know your opinion on if the wiifit works as well as a gym would? Thanks guys!!

I did the gym thing. Seriously I did 4 days a week for an hour each day. I lost a couple inches but gained weight. I mostly did weights, but did some cardio like treadmill, and bike. But I'm not ready to go back there. I like the convience of working out at home. I like that it makes me sweat up a storm. And we brought it to our support group once and showed them. There was a surgeon there. They loved it. Since brining it, there have been a bunch of gals that got it.

I am losing weight on the Wii Fit, on average 2 pounds a week.

I had the Jillian and had my daughter-in-law show me how to get it off just run and I think I would like it but took it back because my controllers didn't work, I could squat and bend or jump all day long and my "me" wouldn't move an inch. The running worked fine but just not the games where it took 2 controllers or 1 controler and 1 numchuck.

I am thinking about buying another one to see if it was just the game.

i LOVE the outdoor activity challenge..seriously i am addicted.. i play wack a mole like no buddy's business.. i sweat more on that than at the gym.. i even compete with my mom..she gets into it too!

That's also on my christmas wish list... I'm so hoping someone finds one for me... if not I'll get it by my birthday (early feb).
