I have wii fit and wii active, and like the active much better.

Wii Fit , definitely more fun.

Wii Active is a better workout of the two.

Wii Fit is more of a game to me.

With that said, I prefer Just Dance. Burn more calories.

You will need the balance board from the Wii Fit to use some exercises in Wii Active. So Wii Fit is a good place to start.

I have all 3. Active gives you a much better workout - it's also a lot less money. You do not need the wii fit board for most of the workouts - I actually found the exercises that needed the board to be more of an annoyance with the board.

The wii fit and wii fit plus are more "fun".

I agree you don't need the board to do the Wii Active BUT I really really REALLY like the kickboxing part of it, and you do need it for that.

I just got the Wii Active, have had the wii fit since it first came out and now have the plus.

I like the Active because it's a good workout (Was sore for 3 days after I did it), it really feels like I'm exercising. The Wii fit I like because it's fun.

I use both in my weekly exercise routine.

My mom, who's close to 50 (don't tell I told), loves her wii fit. She's suppose to be trying out the active but I haven't convinced her, she did tell me something where she's pretty much just exercising is what she's currently looking for.

Love love love my Wii Active and More Active.
I have Wii Fit but having to pick the next activity doesn't thrill me.

I don't have the active yet, but I found ways to make wii fit more of a workout. We have the plus, and I build a workout in my wii fit so there is no having to select which yoga or strenght move to do next. Also, I bought some hand weights to make the strenght moves harder and I can still hold the controller. I am going to try ankle weights too.

I am also getting Just Dance in 2 weeks so I look forward to something new and fun!
