Buy new: $199.99 / Used from: $174.99 I love this gaming system so much that I have two in my apartment: one in the living room and another in my room. For most people, one system should be enough. Also, syncing remotes can be a problem. If you have more than one system, keep your remotes separate and dedicated to each individual system. This way, you'll avoid having to constantly re-sync them for recognition by the unit in use.

Game came with the Wii console...it is cute but I have access to better fitness options.

I searched for months and finally found this system in January 2009. Now, it seems there are Fit Plus gaming systems with the balance board in every store. What a difference a few short months makes?

I've only had it for a week or so. It is OK. It has everything that the original Wii Fit had with some improvements and additional games/exercises. It was certainly worth the extra $20.

 | Wii 5-In-1 Fitness Bundle
Buy new: $40.98 / Used from: $27.99 Own:
Complete waste of money. Do not buy this unless you just want a color coordinated carrying case and yoga mat. The balance board cover dangerously slides around on the board as you step; thus, it presents a major slip and fall hazard.

 | EA Sports Active
Buy new: $49.99 / Used from: $39.99 This is an excellent workout game; however, I'm not a fan of the switching back and forth between exercises that require either the remote in hand or remote in leg pocket. It is cumbersome and interrupts the flow of your workout. Also, I have experienced issues with the sensor not recognizing my movements. Despite its shortcomings, this is one of the better exercise games for the Wii.

You'll need this even if you don't plan to do Wii workouts with others. The leg strap and the resistance band that come with the original game begin to wear/tear fairly quickly so you'll need to have replacements handy.

I really like this but have control issues due to a problem with movement recognition. As I improve, I suspect this will change.

I like this too.

 | Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2 with Dance Mat
Buy new: $49.99 / Used from: $41.99 Own:
Good game. I haven't been using it enough to get a feel for how it will improve my physical fitness. What I have noticed is that I apparently need this game to work on my eye/foot coordination.

 | EA SPORTS Grand Slam Tennis
Buy new: $39.99 / Used from: $31.99 Own:
Way too hard...I think I'll stick with the Mii tennis options available on Wii Sports, Wii Fit and EA Sports Active for a while. I'll come back to GST once my skills have improved.

I never played the original game. This is kind of difficult so I'm still learning; however, I'm not exactly loving this game.

I have only tried it once but plan to incorporate it back into my regime.

3 lbs is pretty heavy when you are used to 2 lb weights

Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $12.00 Own:
Love, love, love this for low impact calorie burning. The 1 mile walk is for training and/or days when you are short on time. I usually try to do at least 2 miles.

 | Leslie Sansone: Walk Away the Pounds - Complete In-Home Walking System
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $11.99 Own:
I love this one too. I generally do the 2 mile walk with the water weights. Eventually, I hope to be able to switch out Leslie's weights for the 3 lb weights mentioned earlier in this list.
