Wii Excercise Games-Anyone use them as workouts?

For those of us that WiiFit's weight limit is to low... there seems to be a way to play it ... I am going to try this and see if it works for me.

This is a YouTube of a gentleman who found a work around by using a peice of foam to cushion the weight sensors: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-j8tYpZxvY

Cushioning the Balance board does work, by the way, and I have been able to use it. I had an old yoga mat that I used. I have 2 cushions for the balance board and a mat for my dd *lol* She has been eyeing up the Yoga mat, but it was to long for her to use so killed 2 birds with one stone so to say.

I cut the foam so it was the size of the board then cut around where the sensors were so it cushions as much surface area under the board as possible.

I am trying to go for the higher MET's ( the games unit of effectiveness of an exercise). I am not sweating really, but I am moving and that counts for now.
