Oooh Go You! That sounds fantastic, i am just like that (or used to be when i was motivated... chocolate is motivating me more now though - im kinda like 5 miles away from my wagon right now lol).

Wow, I have tried to respond to this post before but when i hit submit the entire (really thick long response) vanished claiming some stuff about I can not make a posting Ouch

I did have a gym membership though I will be canceling it V soon. Going to go for a little while before the membership fully ends then begin my zumba (I got Core on wii for christmas YAY!), EA Active 2, Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2010 (i think its 2010? had a blue case on it) and all that good stuff.

Really glad peeps are keeping this post alive! I try to read the responses as much as possible and I enjoy reading about your plans, successes, trials and all.

One thing I have learnt over the years of dieting and exercising is that, obviously, it is hard (especially for those like me enjoy those fast foods, chocolates, candies and snacks that generally deter us from our ultimate goal). We should communicate our troubles and try helping each other out. There is no better motivation than knowing you are not alone (in my opinion).

Keep up all the great work and I wish you ALL the best of luck with your exercising and FUN! Big smile Wink

God bless,

I just purchased a Wii along with the Wii Fit and Zumba games. I hope this will provide me with a more entertaining method of exercise (in my mind if it's fun, I'm more likely to stick with it). I know the games along won't give me desired results. I have other exercise DVDs I'll also incorporate into my regimen.
I'm excited now! Star]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2013 18:50:18 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/you-got-a-wii-get-zumba-and-ea-active2_topic342800_post10105258.html#10105258 <![CDATA[You got a Wii?

4Mia you gotta try the Hip Hop dance experience. I like it way better than Just Dance. One of the modes I forgot which one really works you out. One of the songs on Just Dance 4 I really like. Its the cheerleader type song. I constantly do that one.

I have all the Just Dance, Black Eye Peas Experience (have not tried) and Hip Hop Dance. Will look into EA Active 2 and Zumba.

Ok so ive been out of the forum for a while but i wanted to update this
posting. I recently got the My Fitness Coach Dance Workout (in the US
its called Golds Gym Dance Workout) and Jillian Michaels Ultimatum 2010.
Also as i was not happy with the song choices with Just Dance i grabbed
a copy of Black Eyed Peas Experience.

Ill start with the Dance
Workout to say its VERY entertaining and a real workout. Maybe it was
becuase it was hot and i was working out but the game made me sweat
ALOT. Mo sweat, Mo better :P  There are plenty of mini games eg running,
rowing and there is cardio boxing and latin salsa in the dance area.
Nice choice of music including Lady GG's Just Dance which was nice.
5*  (OH! It has a calorie counter too and matches it to food so you know what you have burnt).

Jillian
Michaels... Were you ever in the army? I mean seriously this lady is
always busting my chops BUT that makes it more fun. I feel like im in a
boot camp and once im done ill be like a snake and 150lbs will just
slide on the floor like a pile of sludge LOL
The game includes MANY
workouts that use the Wii Balence board and the controller. The
exercises are things most people know of but the use of the remote in
the workout means she really pushes you for perfection (i have to lunge
deeper, stretch higher to get "green for good" showing on the screen -
thats a good sign!).

Now to the game that i am least impressed
with. If you have Zumba, Dance Workout and enjoy them you probably will
not enjoy the Black Eyed Peas game. the dances (like Just Dance) are
very basic and not chalenging or much of a workout. You end up needing
to catch your breath simply trying to follow the dances. Otherwise they
are very basic and probably only let you burn 10 calories?
GREAT
songs on the game, i like 98% of them which is something i cant say
about the Just Dance game series. If you like Just Dance and need
something to bridge your stamina from zero to hero then this game is
good.


I kinda stopped exercising for a little bit but going
to try and get something done today. That means Zumba 2 followed by My
Fitness [Golds Gym] Dance Workout and MAYBE Jillian if i have the
strength. I hope this post has helped people and TRY the Dance Workout
game it is REALLY good :)
Any other games i should try out? Drop a responce!

Ps:
EA Active 2 is VERY good for weightloss, better than all the games
mentioned here IMO but if you combine with Zumba and other exercise you
can lose (I did so maybe someone else can too?) 14lbs in 1 Month. And
that is less fat and more muscle for a toned sleek shape :)

I have hip hop dance experience Zumba and lets dance 2. I haven't tried the hip hop dance yet. I am eyeing the Xbox kinetic Nike fit. I want something to replace the gym and dancing alone won't cut it. Is the Jillian micheals a wii game or is it a DVD?]]> Wed, 16 Jan 2013 14:48:01 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/you-got-a-wii-get-zumba-and-ea-active2_topic342800_post10078506.html#10078506 <![CDATA[You got a Wii?

I love the songs that are on JD3..i even downloaded some of them to my phone to listen to while working out lol...in the just sweat mode, they have lots of categories of music to dance to..i forgot the name of the category i normally chose but its the pic of a sweat drop..(its normally the first one already up when u get to sweat mode)...you can chose between a 7 day challenge or (i believe) a 30 day challenge, or something like that. Then you chose the level of how much u wanna sweat which will determine how many songs u dance to...in each song you build up what i call sweat points and u have to reach a certain amount every day..]]> Sat, 14 Jul 2012 08:46:57 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/you-got-a-wii-get-zumba-and-ea-active2_topic342800_post9637194.html#9637194 <![CDATA[You got a Wii?

OMG that sounds awsome (i mean if your sweating up a storm then your burning fat like a tornado or something like a storm right? :D)! Which Just dance game is it?  I have the first one in the series and it was fun whilst it lasted (4 days) then i gave up on it becuase i dislike most of the songs those guys put on the Just Dance games :(

I would love a different dancing game that allows me to burn lots of calories though! this sounds like a keeper! I bolderised the name of the game and the mode so people notice it lol

People! Buy ZUMBA 2! EA Active 2! and Just Dance... the one with the sweat mode! *feels their bingo wings melt away at the thought of sweating up a storm* LOL

AMAZING profile pic i really like it! :D

Back on topic lol  I have Zumba and Zumba 2 and they deffinately helped me get into shape. As long as you really put effort into doing the moves and do Zumba for long enough (3 to 4 songs should be enough for a short workout on any Zumba game IMO) you can shed pounds easily Big smile

I want to lose my baby fat, Macdonalds + KFC fat from the years so have tried many different things. There is a fad linked to each one but as long as YOU enjoy it and make sure nothing cames to break your fad then you can lose loads! I gained most of my weight in December 2011 and early 2012 becuase i sprained my shoulder from TOO MUCH EA Active 2 and Zumba. Then had an injury so couldnt exercise at all.

I managed to shed all those pounds gained (around 14lbs+) playing Zumba and slowly phasing in EA Active 2. If you try it holla at this post to tell us about how it went :)

Take Care x

Ok so ive been trying to slim for a while and Gym only worked when i had someone with me telling me to push harder.

Since i got my Nintendo Wii been in awe with all the exercise games and really enjoyed the Wii Fit. It does work you out but it WONT give fast results. I used EA Active 2 for 3 months and managed to lose around 14lbs. 7lbs made allot of difference to my appearence and 14 just made my clothes loose! The game is magic becuase it is what it says on the back (ok maybe i summarised what it says), "personal trainer in your home".

I did a workout yesterday which i was told by my virtual trainer was going to be more focused on the legs and core. Today, bending down hurts and i feel the burn that the muscles have been worked!

Now onto Zumba... I can lose around 250 calories playing one of their 5 song short classes (Zumba 2)! Thats like 5 oreo cookies :D Dont count the milk becuase its good for you lolz
Its great fun and i could tell that it was toning my calfs becuase they feel the burn at the end of the workout.

Want to lose weight a fun way? Get a Wii, get EA Active sports and get Zumba 2. This is all my oppinion so feel free to drop in and let me know what you think. Im going to be doing an EA workout today (3 missed workouts Ouch).
