I plan to purchase a new game for our Wii console in hopes of losing the last 15 pounds I gained with baby #2. I have seen online the Gold's Gym, Jillian Michaels, Biggest Loser and Zumba games. I have no idea which one(s) would be best for me. I'm in my late 20's and fairly healthy, but would like to tone up and lose this weight. I have had 2 knee surgeries, so activities like running are not a great idea for me. Anyone have any of these games? Would you suggest them or recommend steering clear of them? Do you have a different game I haven't mentioned that you like? I have the Wii Fit Plus and don't feel like it gives me a very good workout! Thanks in advance!!
I suggest you rent first! Go to Blockbuster or do an online rental that mails rentals. I love my WiiFit but every one is different! Good luck! : )
I used to actually do Zumba in the gym, the work out is great, I read a review in GameInformer that it is not the best.

I am getting "just dance" for my fitness needs to do with the kids!
I tried the Jillian michaels one & was not impressed. It was more about getting the character to do the obstacles correctly than actually getting a good workout. I would suggest My Fitness Coach. Love it! They've came out with #2 which I plan on getting. You definitely get a good workout.
The Biggest Losert game is the only one I have of those, and it definitely gives you a great work out!! It makes me sweat;) I just don't do it much, due to lack of time and cranky baby who won't let me do it while he's awake. But it is a good work out.
I've heard great things about the Biggest Loser game =)
My favorite Wii workout games are the EA Sports Active. I have the first one and it is a much better workout than Wii Fit. I'm planning to get the second one since it's on sale at Target this week. It helped me lose the baby weight. There is some running but you can build your own workouts.
I bought the Jenny McCarthy "Your Shape" game and it is okay. It's not fantastic, but you can adjust how intense you want your workout to be, and add exercise accessories to change up the workouts some. It's pretty fun.. but not the same as going to a gym.
Zumba classes are pretty fun, but I haven't tried out a Wii game for it yet. I've been too busy to be on the Wii lately... hahaha.
I wouldn't recommend the Jillian Michaels one. I got it last year for Christmas and was really disappointed in it. I've been curious about the EA Sports Active one and am glad to see the positive post on it.
