DVD or Wii Fitness recommendations

Eliza Rain, 8 January, 2011 at 20:35 Posted on Beauty & Wellbeing 0 14

Evening...

I've just signed up to 10wks @ Scottish Slimmers and to run along side need to find a good exercise regime. I have a zumba class for a Tues, but want something for Mons and Weds....

I live fairly out in the sticks and am limited to local classes unless I want to drive for miles on country lanes (which in the winter I don't want to!) so want to find a couple of good DVDs/Wii fitness options....

Give me your recommendations!

Thanks!
Moom : )

    Try Natalie Cassidys fitness DVD, its a few years old now so will be cheaper than the ones in the chart atm, i have it and its probably the only fitness DVD i can say i've noticed a difference with!

    Hows the Zumba classes?! i'm not a very confident person so i wouldnt want to go to the classes but i know you can buy a DVD set just wondered if it was any good before i bought it! xx

    Unfortunately Natalie Cassidy is a yoyo dieter so nothing ever works for her, but the fitness DVD is good im always outta breath when i do it!

    Also, look at investing in Wii's Biggest Loser....or try 'Your Shape' you get a camera to stick ontop of the tv and it monitors your movement, theres a lot of good reviews about it on Play.com x

    I've been trying to get in shape for my wedding in the Summer and have recently started doing Zumba classes locally to me. Only been twice so far but would really recommend it.

    I was a bit worried about going as i've not done any exercise classes in over 5 years! It's great that no one takes it too seriously so if you go wrong, it doesn't matter!

    I've just started zumba and I love it it's so much fun. Don't expect I'll ever be skinny though but I'm currently a size 18-20 and would like to at least be a 16-18 before the wedding. I'm big but relatively fit...(I'm big boned...LOL).

    I want to get "your shape" for the Xbox kinect. I love dancing games and have Dance central on the xbox and the MJ experience and Just dance on the wii. All of them give a good work out - but I want to get the MJ one on Kinect when it comes out as I think it'll be better on that platform.

    Yeah I've seen the Zumba game. but a bit unsure because of very mixed reviews.

    I bought "your shape" for the xbox in the end. Pretty good though I can't do the lunges very well on it as I'd have to step inside the sofa to do it... LOL I'm getting a mount to put the Kinect sensor above teh TV which might help.

    I was quite pleased though as I scored "advanced" on the Cardio vascular test and "trained" on the Strength/suppleness test despite the "sofa" problem..LOL!

    For the past 2 weeks, I have been using the Wii for exercising. I have got the wii fit, the wii active, and biggest loser, and i try to do it 3 times a week. In the past couple of weeks, I have lost 5 pounds (iv been trying to eat healthy, but if i have wanted choc or crisps - im eating in moderation) My partner has lost 6 pounds.

    Its very worth doing it guys and would recommend these wii games to anyone, they are fun and pro active x

    I use the Wii Fit to do a daily body test. It only takes a minute or two and it tells you your weight & bmi, whether you have gained or lost (and how much) and allows you to set goals to work towards.

    I haven't used it for the excersice aspect as I go to a gym class, but the wii fit body test is well worth a go as an incentive as well as a monitoring tool

    I´ve used the Davina ones for ages and think they are difinitely worth the money and are very well made. I guess some people find Davina annoying, but she doesnt bother me. Her trainers Jackie and mark are really good! Would recommend the latest one Body Buff, the best one in my opinion. The legs workout is a killer and some different abs moves as well, not just the basic crunches.Hope this helps.?

    I've found just dance for the wii is much more fun than wii fit and I've lost more weight since going on that than I did on wii fit too.

    I bought a heart rate monitor recently to help me see exactly how hard I work at Zumba etc.

    I wore it to my Zumba class on Wednesday - now my teacher is one of the higher energy ones and Wednesdays are seen as their "party" night due to the hall we do it in having a disco ball and lights etc so it's always a more energetic evening. Well I was amazed the class is an hour and I managed to burn 819 calories!! PHEEWWW!! I'm a relatively biggish girl so it takes more energy to get me moving than a smaller person but that is impressive.

    I remember doing a whole hour of Wii fit to get rid of 250 calories!

    Out of interest I used the heart rate monitor on a 20 minute Zumba class on the xbox (intermediate level routine) and that came out as about 170 calories which I think is pretty good, considering the routine I did wasnt as long or high impact and I can't "give my all" at home due to space constraints.

    I'm definitely loving my Zumba and already noticing a huge difference in my body. I'm now doing 2 Zumba classes a week, 2 dance classes (tap and street jazz) and I'm trying to get in a couple of sessions with dancing games on the xbox too.
