Hey all, I bought a Wii last spring hoping to get a good fitness game from hubby as my anniversary present. Well, he didn't get the hint (ok, he ignored my direct "I want the Wii Fit game for my present.")
Anyway, I've been doing a lot of research and thinking about what to get, but I'm torn. I *think* that my best 2 options are the Wii Fit Plus w/balance board OR Your Shape with Jenny McCarthy. I'm not sure which is the better option for me.
Basics: I'm looking to both lose weight and get into shape, but I'm notorious for starting something and quickly losing interest, especially when it involves exercise. I have pretty severe asthma, and it's been particularly bad the last year. So, I need something that I can tone down the intensity on bad days while still getting a good workout or turn up when I'm feeling good.
Also, it must be fun. Plain old exercise games like EA Active or Gold's Cardio Workout just look like great workout games, but they look pretty boring.
Right now, I'm leaning towards the Fit Plus, but I'm worried that it might be fun but not a good workout. Plus, Your Shape has the webcam that tracks your movements so that you have to do the exercise properly whereas the Fit Plus can be tricked, or so I've heard.
Anyone have experiences with these two, recommendations?
