Walk It Out: Get Moving on Nintendo Wii

Kar: Kids like it!

MEB: its a bit silly but I have really found this useful to motivate me to exercise in the winter. I use it while on my elliptical and I even get a little obsessive about collecting points setting goals that takes me beyond a minimum workout. It is a bit limited in song choices (it is a bit out of date now) and it can take a long time to unlock new ones which is a bit frustrating. I also wish that you didn't have to collect points to change the time of day in the game because I am a bit tired of seeing the same time of day in it (night).

David Reid: I absolutely love the game...
SO far I have lost over 18 lbs in a very short time frame...

Its HOW you use the game that helps you lose weight and exercise...
If you just follow lifting the heals on a balance board, you will feel like
its a waste of your time..

I use the nunchuk and a pedometer to keep track how many steps I really have taken and
instead of straight up walking... I DANCE to the music provided.

reneek: A wonderful workout. How easy is walking in place to the music. A must if you have to workout and don't want to go to the gym. I have a balance board and its works great. I would definitely recommend this to those who have issues with the weather outside and are nervous about falling on the ice, and of course those who can excusercise themselves (me included) into not excercising.

p2d4: Very addictive game. Love the fact I can walk for a long time or short time. There are some obvious upgrades which could be addressed if a #2 was brought out but nothing much. The songs are a bit cheesy but catchy. On the whole a fantastic buy if you want to increase your steps. I have a fitbit so this is the ideal game.

shop*til*you*drop: I'd like to add my Walk It Out critique to the many excellent ones that have already been written. This evaluation is intended for other members of the ARRP generation. You know who you are. I should add that I don't consider myself a gamer. I like computer programming and graphics, but not usually games. For years though, I have followed the evolving exergame field. I own several early attempts at the genre. I have owned a Wii since it first arrived on the scene. I also own a good number of Wii "games" that purportedly inspire the human will to exercise. In my case, they don't. When it comes to exercise, I take a lot of inspiring. Wii Fit comes close but like many other reviewers here, I became frustrated with the constant "stop and go" in that "game".

Then, suddenly, Walk It Out walked onto the scene.It caught my interest. Like several reviewers, I found the packaging off putting. The photos of kids and a young adult didn't really scream, "This game is for you." Instead, it said the opposite, "This game isn't for you." However, I like to walk and the more I thought about the game, the better it sounded to me. It wasn't hugely expensive. I somewhat blindly pre-ordered the...

Denise Lavely: I just received this game last night, and have only played it for about an hour, so these are my initial impressions.

First, obviously, this is not a 'gamer' game. This is a way to get your daily walk in that is a little more interesting than just walking on a treadmill. It has gaming elements, but those who are looking for a purely gaming experience will not find it in this genre :-)

As exercise, this is pretty darned good. I did a 45 minutes stretch last night to learn the game and get a feel for it. The time flew by and I burned about 275 calories. ***EDIT - actually, after doing an hour today, I realize I must have done about an hour last night - I guess the time really DID fly by! :-) *** I am very much a Wii exerciser, I do EA Sports Active and have been looking for a light to moderate cardio option for my scheduled rest days, and Walk It Out looks like it will work very well for this. I did my session last night on the normal setting and I would call it light cardio. I did not feel like I was working terribly hard, probably could have sang through most of it, but by the end of the 45 minutes I was sweating lightly. There are ways in the settings to change the...
