My friend got Wii for Christmas so my husband and I tried it out. The boxing game is a great work out and also the Tennis game. I might be out of shape, but I really think it's not only entertaining but can be used as a work out routine! I was so sore the next few days after playing the Boxing and Tennis games. Once I get my hands on my own Wii I will be playing to loose weight! Anyone find that any of the other games are a good work out? I would like to know so that when the time comes,I will have some more selections to keep my workouts exciting.

I'm telling you it has to work! I think I was sore for about 2 days! The Boxing game was the one game that gave me the best work out yet. I thought I saw a commercial that they have a Hoolahoop game, that might be another good one to burn those calories!

I have no idea what the Hula game is but on this one commercial you see this guy moving his hips around and holding out his arms with the controllers and then they show the game and it looks like a cartoon character spinning a Hula Hoop around their waist...I am not sure of the name since I haven't gotten a Wii yet. I will have to check out these other games that have been recommended once I get the game...I will be skinny before you know it! LOL :-)

Playing the Wii IS an awesome work out.
Any of the games I have played really work me out, just not the sports.
I was also looking in to getting a dance pad to go with one our systems so we could get an overall work out but yet be VERY fun.

I have read about the superb controler.
And I think at the time, I will buy the Wii, bacause I can work out with fun.
So tell me, do you sweat as much as you jog or not ?

I didn't sweat as much as when I jog, but I was really tired and sore when it was over! I definitely felt like I had a workout though! I rather play Wii than jog anyday! Do you have any friends that have the game? I would try it out before you buy it, but I really thought it was a great excercise alternative!

I tried out a friend's Wii recently, all we played was the sports package it comes with, but after playing every game on there, especially the boxing, my arms were sore the next day! (And the boys were all upset they got beat by a girl, I knocked them all out at boxing !) We're considering getting our own soon, and I also like that you can get classic old games like Mario and Rampage.
