Fitness games for the Wii

[joy@disney]

My parents, who are 67, are thinking about getting a Wii. They want to use it to help them exercise. They are both overweight, especially my dad. They played Wii bowling with my family the other night, and really liked it. I thought it was great just making my dad get off the couch.

What I was wondering was if anybody had any game recommendations that I could give to them. I was reading the thread on the Biggest Loser game, and it sounds like it might be a little bit too much. I'm not sure they are ready for a "butt kicking", let alone if they could handle it.

I know they could do Wii Fit, but I also know there is a weight limit on the Wii Balance Board. Does anyone know what it is?

Please post any fun, active games that an older couple would have fun with. Thanks to you all.

I believe the weight limit on the wii balance board is 300 lbs. Wii fit is a really good one for people of all ages. My mom loves it.

yes the limit is definately 300 lbs.

my teens like Wii ski, not sure that meets the 'active' criteria you're looking for. I have BL and am on the moderate level and it kicks my butt. i'm in pretty good shape

or maybe a dancing one?
