With an ever increasing amount of Wii titles designed to get you off the couch, it's no wonder that developers thought to make a proper exercise game for the Wii. After all, there are a couple of advantages of exercising in the comfort of your own home – no gym membership is required, more than one family member or friend can use the exercise game and you don't have to invest in gym clothes or be subjected to the scrutiny of more health conscious people at the gym.
My Fitness Coach is more of an exercise programme than an actual game. Unlike Wii Fit the game does not make use of the Balance Board, but the aerobics DVD-like structure comes off feeling a bit more serious than Wii Fit does, with the added benefit of being able to customise your workout and track your progress. Of course, without the Balance Board to check the accuracy of your movements, you can cheat the game somewhat but more on this later.
GameGuru: "All these titles from our compilation of the best fitness games for Wii provide exactly the kind of motivation needed for you to get off your sofas and burn some calories."

Looking at the best fitness games for Wii, is a reminder of the way in which the Wii has transformed game playing from a sitting on the couch experience, to a much more get-up-and-go experience. So what are the best Wii fit games for burning calories?
This is great, and I really like the Just Dance 2 feature. I find myself easily burning an hour on this game and being sore all day the next day. It may not have the most accurate scoring system in the world, but it certainly is a lot of fun to play. :)
Gamingxp: Seven games is now releasing a brand new fitness and nutrition title for the Nintendo Wii, which goes under the sounding name of "The Health Coach - Feel good every day" at the start
