I have Wii Fit too. Wii active sounds interesting. Do you use the fit board?

I wish they would bring out something like Wii step class because it is the only excercise I really enjoy on Wii Fit.

Sorry to hijack this thread but I was just wondering if any of you can recommend fitness and fun games for the wii? I love the wii fir for the balance games but not really into the other things you can do on it. I wish there was a game that was fun to play and also good exercise. Is the wii active a work out or a more of a game with the workout in it?

Iv been looking at the wii active but after getting the wii fit i was a bit dubious as to how good it be. Is it more for toning or can you get a good cardio work out too?

Well so far it isn't fun at all. It has been total workout.

I didn't want something fun I needed something to kick my ass.

It is compatible with the balace board but you don't NEED it.

I am on my blackberry at the momen but when I get home I will tell you all more.

We have Fit and Active! I love fit but am too bumpy for Active right now. Soon though. The kids *love* it. If I had just one complaint about active - it doesn't have enough user accounts. I got it as a present for DH which I got from Big W ($68! I went to EB and saw it was 99.95 and they would "price match" - but I figured if I had to walk to Big W for the catalogue to prove it, then why bother walking back for the price match) but the kids have filled up the user spots - so he doesnt have a personalised account! I have to break someones heart, but it would be nicer if they just gave enough slots in the first place. 5 and 1 guest.

Isabel - It has a whole section dedicated to Cardio.

It is all work out. Its not made to be fun - its made to make you "active". If it helps - it is simply FAR too intense for me in my present pregnant condition.

We are getting a Wii soon, so I have told Andrew to buy me Wii fit which comes with Wii active in the Big W toy sale catalouge at the moment

Can't wait.

Thanks for the info about it being different to Wii fit. I think I'll get the Active now too.
