Best exercise program for the Wii!

This game is great! I first bought the Wii Fit Plus about a month ago and I was bored after a week and a half. This is half the price and sooo much better. About me- I am a 31 year old female that weighs 158 lbs and is in decent shape but I definitely need to lose a few pounds. I've been using Wii Active for almost 2 weeks now (on the 30 day challenge) and I can feel and slightly see a difference already, especially in my legs (all those horrible yet effective lunges, I'm guessing). I've lost 3 lbs since starting the program by combining this with healthy eating and also running for 20 minutes 3x a week. If you're contemplating buying this, definitely do it. It's fun, motivating, and effective. I look forward to using it every day. Oh, and don't worry about the balance board if you don't have one- I think the exercises are actually better without it, with the exception of the boxing which just adds some kicks which you could just do on your own (it's only about 8 forward kicks total and 8 knee raises). Best $50 I've spent in a long time!
What's great about it: Easy to use, Positive feedback from virtual trainer, Real results, Fun!
What's not so great: Sometimes the remote doesn't register immediately, but it's not a big deal.
I would recommend this to a friend!
