Enjoyable way to exercise at home

I really like the immediate feedback on how well I am doing.  I have only done it 10 days, but the variety so far is good.  I like the graphing and tracking of progress.  The exercises are short, so I feel like I am doing a lot of different things.  There is a big focus on balance, which is a big issue for me.  I wish there were a way to speed up the commentary between exercises, as they are repetitive.

This is my second Leslie Sansone DVD and this is more fun to do than the other (an older 2-3 mile walk). The music is also much better!

It is fast-paced but easy to follow. The band provides resistance which I could feel working on my muscles. It ends with a yoga-inspired stretch session which was not balanced (she didn't do the stretches on both sides!) but I can do my stretching alone anyway. Overall, a good work-out for the money.

Great little exercise board! Not as easy as the infomercials make it look, but still fun and a nice at home add-on to normal workouts.

As parents of 2 kids under 2, my wife and I have found little time to exercise over that past few years.  The Wii fit has given us the opportunity to get some aerobic and strength exercise in after the kids are in bed for night.  We enjoy many of the exercises and the balance games provide some friendly competition.

My only two complaints are that so many of the activities are "locked" until you have used the game enough and it would also be nice if you could simply use the balance board as a scale (give us a scale channel on the Wii menu).

But neither of these complaints are serious enough to keep me from giving the Wii fit a 5 star rating.

As the other reviewers have noted, you can get a great workout for your arms with this in a short period of time.  I like that it is easy to throw under the bed, so on days when I don't have the time or energy to go to the gym or my basement workout area, I can get a 6 minute workout in right before going to bed or after getting up.  It would be easy to take along on car travel also.

I bought this workout in my first trimester when I was too tired to continue my regular workout but still wanted a way to tone and stay fit at home.  This will not get your heart racing, so I would suggest mixing it with a cardio workout, but it is a great way to stay toned in little amounts of time and space.

I like to create my own workout by mixing two-four of the workouts - the DVD allows you to do this.  I really enjoy the Standing Pilates workout.  The Total Body is good, but there is a move at the beginning that always makes my knees pop - my pilates instructor told me to put a bolster or pillow behind my knees as I lean back and that seemed to help.

I usually use this workout for 20 minutes then walk on the treadmill at another part of the day for 20 minutes.  My muscles are still toned and the only place I am "showing" at 26 weeks is my tight belly.  However, I do mix it with cardio and I take a pilates class with a very good instructor who does an excellent job of modifying for pregnancy twice a week.

This is good for at home use and when you need a quick spurt of energy or it is too late in the day to rev up your heart and you want some stretching.  I do think it also aids my digestion and helps me sleep!  Always a plus!

this dvd is easy to follow, fun and yet challenges.
i also like that the instructor/actor is easy to follow, approachable and yet the routine pushes you just enough.

i really feel like i got a good workout with this and i normally don't like fitness dvds---this one i really like and use.

My wife has health problems but was looking for a low impact form of exercise. This is it. She enjoys doing this.

I enjoy the "games" that help improve balance and look forward to yoga and other exercise options available on the Fit Plus program.  Easy to do and no need to go outside to work your program.

I got this because I wanted something that I could do when I was bored and still be able to get somewhat of a workout done. It is fun when you have nothing to do and also not on a crazy workout schedule like I am at the moment. If I didn't have to workout so often I would be playing this more. I recommend this to anyone who wants a fun way to workout.

I enjoyed the WII Fit with balance board as my first WII purchase.  It was easy to set up and get started. There is so much diversity in the activities, you will never get bored.  The Boxing and Hula Hoop are great fun.  I did find the trainer explanations after each exercise a bit long.  The Body test incorporated in the game was very helpful to automatically measure progress. In my opinion, this would not be the best choice for a serious exerciser.  I would highly suggest to someone for a beginning workout or just to enjoy the games to get moving.

I bought this product for my teenage daughter who took a Zumba class at the gym but doesn't have time to go the gym on a regular basis (ours is about half an hour away). I thought the Zumba kit would be fun for her to do at home. She really likes it, but is still trying to master all the dance steps before she does the entire workout. She appreciates the clear instruction and how the steps are broken down. She says she gets a good workout and breaks a sweat doing the DVDs. Just for fun, I tried out the workout that uses the rizer. I'm a former step aerobics instructor, and I'm very fit but have only done a few Zumba classes. I didn't like the workout at all. I found the instructor to be annoying and the workout to be very easy. I wore a heartrate monitor and didn't get my heartrate anywhere close to my target cardio zone. I wanted to include both my daughter's and my perspectives so that you might make the best choice as to whether to purchase this product. If you're fairly new to Zumba and are a beginner to intermediate exerciser, you might love these DVDs. However, if you're very fit you might want to pass it up and spend your money on a program that is more challenging.

I loved this dvd. Workouts in the gym get boring and routine. I love to pop these two in on the weekend at home. Its fun, it gives you a good burn, and my husband works out with me. I like the innovation and since I have a long weight loss journey, I'm glad that this is not boring.

This workout is fun and effective. I enjoy both of them as instructors due to their personalities. I am an advanced exerciser. This workout does make me sweat but is certainly not as hard as other DVDs that I own. The segments are nicely done with good variety. They use the same weight for all exercises. To increase intensity, I switch between 5, 8, and 10 lb dumbbells. In the first segment, I use 10 lbs and then 5 lbs. In the 2nd, I use 8s and then 5s. In the core, I use 8 lb dumbbells. This DVD is a great one for people who do not have a large workout space. You can do it in less than an 8x8 area.
