Best Wii Exercise Games
The Nintendo Wii gaming console and the Wii Balance Board accessory can act as a gym replacement but only if you select the best games. Look for those that feature actual exercise and come with enough options to make them replayable for years.

Wii Fit Plus is catered to the whole family. The game comes packaged with the Wii Balance Board and uses the Wii’s built-in Mii system, so the long process of creating characters is eliminated. Players are automatically tracked on the Balance Board scale, and families even can track the growth of newborn babies and pets with the scale. The games on Wii Fit Plus include soccer, hula hoop, musical kung fu and an obstacle course. The game also features standard exercise programs to help with cardio and strength building.

EA Sports Active: More Workouts
-
This expansion pack requires the resistance band and leg strap to get the most of this game. The biggest highlight in this addition is the expanded use of the Wii Balance Board. Players can track their weight and follow actual on-screen movements to make sure they are performing the exercises correctly. New mini-games include surfing, obstacle courses and boxing.
Wii Sports
-
Instead of spending more than 50 dollars on an exercise game, you can get a workout with Wii Sports, which is packaged with the Wii system. Some of the best workouts come from games like tennis and boxing, but a lot of calories can be burned through bowling and baseball. Use the training modules like batting Ppractice for more intense workouts.
Walk It Out
-
Exercise games like The Biggest Loser and Wii Fit focus on intense workouts, but Walk It Out is a great exercise game for anyone who wants a casual workout regime. Just like the title says, players simple walk on their Balance Board across virtual levels and worlds. The more players walk, the more points they earn to unlock new songs, houses and items that they can expand the virtual world with.
