Default Best Wii workout games

So what do you all think are the best workout/excercise games for the Wii? I already have Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus. Are there any other good ones out there? What about games that aren't marketed for "weight loss/fitness" per se but require movement and are just plain fun?

Golds Gym Cardio Workout! It's so much fun, but you will be SORE. And it gets my heartrate up really well!

I've been enjoying Walk It Out. It's marketed for kids, but I'll walk in place for an hour a day or more to the zippy music, finding all the bits to make my daily rainbow and working on earning credits to build the world that I'm walking through.

There's a demo video on Amazon:

Just Dance is supposed to be good. I haven't tried it yet.

I have tried Jillian Michaels and hated it (poor interface with the wii remtes). Also wasn't thrilled with Sports Active (too much time spent putting on gear, taking it off, putting it back on, etc).

I also have Sports Resort which is fun but only the sword fighting is any sor of workout and then not really much of one.

I know it's meant for kids, but that looks fun! I don't know how much of a work out I would get but I like the idea behind it.

EA Active and Just Dance.

I currently use both and adore them. They've helped me lose weight and EA Active is helping me tone up a bit. I have the first EA Active. I haven't tried more workouts yet because I want to get through a few cycles of the 30 Day challenge yet before I try More Workouts.

Just Dance is great fun. My partner and I will dance for an hour or more and not realize that much time has gone by. I'm usually sweaty and tired by the time I'm done too. There will be another Just Dance if anyone is interested. I can't wait!
