It has a lot more exercises and has an option to do a combined workout (strength, yoga, balance, aerobics). I decided to go that route and it gives me different exercise combinations every day. It has me doing yoga moves I would never consider doing because of an injury I suffered back in 86. Messed up my left foot so has extremely limited ROM.

I do them and yeah, they hurt, but I can definitely see a difference after just two weeks. Some of the moves still kick my ass, but as I do them over and over I notice that I am getting better at them.

I am down about 25 lbs from 7 months ago and I attribute a good portion of it to Wii Fit+ (and dedication). I do it every day. I can't wait to get my juice extractor. I have a feeling things will get real good then.
impressive results! i can relate to the feeling you get when you start hitting the yoga poses. as balanced as i can be on the scoot, i was surprised at how hard the yoga balance postures are for me though. hah
