Awww  I haven't even received the Jillian Michaels game yet and you're saying its no good  
I've played all the wii sports and my arm was killing me a couple of days ago from pitching in baseball  yesterday I boxed for 40 minutes  I love that i've not been beat yet  I did the test on the first day and it told me my age is 63!!!!  they sell the gold's gym game at Walmart not sure if i'm going to buy anymore just yet

I have Wii Sports and Wii Fit and they're both good, but they're nothing compared to Wii Fitness Coach. I do that every day and it's the most fun ever! It's also much more of an actual workout and I actually sweat and build up muscle on it!

I just got my WiiFit, and I'm loving it. I've read nothing but good reviews so I'm sure I'll be moving onto My Fitness Coach and EA Sports Active if that's as good as it looks.

Awww I hate the Jillian Michaels game I can't get anywhere on it and you can't choose what you want to do you have to keep jogging on the spot then you choose a road to go down and do whatever 'challenge' is waiting for you  I can't get the damn thing to work for me  so i'm back to the wii sports and wii fit my fitness coach arrived the other day but I was at work so missed the delivery now i'll have to phone them and reschedule  I can't wait to try it  I love this thing

Finally got My Fitness Coach just tried it the once and so far so good  I am looking forward to doing it. I'm a bit of a clutz with footwork and get confused when she is doing all the different steps hopefully I'll get the hang of it Got my wii fit age down to 36 for two days running then last night I buggered up was a bit unstable balancing so it went back up to 62!!  but I am doing better at all the games so thats a plus

Hello Fellow Wiiiiers!
I am pretty new to my Wii and the Balance Board. My husband was a real sceptic about getting it, but he is now addicted too. What are the good games to buy that get you moving and have fun?
We would like to find more games that use the balance board.
I've heard Jillian Michaels isn't good, does the Fitness Coach use the Balance Board?
Here's the one thing I can share at this point...
I bought some wii accessories on ebay from a Hong Kong seller. The items arrived really quickly, but they seem to be just a little off. The Zappers are hard to get the remote and Nunchuck in and out of and the boxing gloves are tight on the remotes and my hands. They work (and were really cheap), but they need a little tweaking.
BTW - I much prefer boxing with the gloves on as opposed to just holding the remotes!
I bought extra remotes from a Hong Kong seller on ebay today. I will leave a post with the results from that transaction. If they work, they were EXTREMELY cheap!
Wiiiiifully Yours,
Lorie

Hi Godiva I've only used my fitness coach once and I did'nt use the balance board don't know if it will in the future. It asks you if you have some fitness equipment. i.e. free weights, stability ball, heart monitor and I can't remember what else I can't recommend any others because i'm new to this too I bought a Lan Adapter from a Hong Kong seller and it works perfectly good luck with your purchase. The boxing gloves sound neat

I know im late in this but i love my wii fit. My bf bought me a wii ( i secretly think he bought it for himself and decided it was too much of a girly console) and i bought the wii fit. I was thinking of getting fitness coach, isnt there a new one out with an orange cover, or am i getting confused.
Im not even gonna tell you what my wii fit age was o_0
Anywho im working on it one day at a time. So far i love the boxing game. I was doing the 6 minute hula hoop game and nearly cracked a rib i swear, only to turn around and find my bf filming me on it! Ive dared him to put it on youtube and see if he can still walk straight in the morning
Where can you get the gillian michaels game from, i havnt seen it in stores?

I have the Active Sports - EA - and love it. I am doing the 30 day challenge. There is a video challenge thread on the Chicks for a Challenge thread. (I can't post the link - not enough posts).
My dd loves Wii sports and Outdoor Adventure. We just bought Rock Band for her bday. Such a fun game system....

I havn't got Wiifit but bought EA Active yesterday. Really good workout, although my legs are aching today i've never doen so many squats in my life.
I've got really huge thighs and the leg strap thing only just fits round them, had a bit of trouble trying to get it to recognise me doing the squats so ended up doing loads. Only my first time so hopefully i'll get the hang of where to put the strap properly.
Highly recommended though!
