Wii fit anyone?
-
So, my MIL just bought my husband a Wii for his birthday. The games get you pretty active as it is, so I'm considering buying Wii fit. I'm wondering if anyone has tried it, or knows anyone who has? Is it any fun? Does it work? I'm mostly looking to tone and to have good cardiovascular health.Flag as inappropriate Posted by mamajama on 2nd July 2008 -
Yes. Yes. Yes. Watching people hula hoop is worth the $90. It's hilarious.
I actually like it though. It has Yoga poses and balance games. There is a game that is sort of like Dance Dance Revolution, but slow steps. It weighs you and counts your minutes. It's fun but the games do get a little boring unless you have someone else that plays it so you can try to beat their scores. My daughter tries to do things with me though, so it's enjoyable.Flag as inappropriate Posted by Marcia on 2nd July 2008 -
i LOVE my Wii Fit!! It didn't help for hips and tummy until I got my adrenals working, but it's ROCKING now! Also tracks weight and BMI!

My SIL was telling me one of her co-workers bought the Wii Fit and she lost 5 inches and 15 pounds...I told her if that's the case, I'm buying it tomorrow!Flag as inappropriate Posted by chaela86 on 14th August 2008 -
The coolest thing about the Wii Fit is as you get stronger/better, it opens up more challenges for you!
I'm 51 and had some major hormonal issues with belly/hip fat, so it didn't help that untill I did my detox diet, but then the weight seemed to melt off... I love to do the free step as I'm watching TV, and that's an excellent toner..... Linda/RNFlag as inappropriate Posted by BizNurse on 14th August 2008 -
YES!! My husband and I bought the Wii Fit the day it came out and we have NEVER looked back!!!! It tracks BMI and weight, and the games are FABULOUS!!! I love the yoga and step workouts!! I'm about to hop on it now to get my 30 minutes of exercise in! (What's nice is that you can work out AND watch TV at the same time- and it still lets you know how you are doing!)> WORTH THE MONEY!!!Flag as inappropriate Posted by Vanessa on 15th August 2008 -
We have Wii Fit and it's great. You can just do it in your spare time and it's lots of fun and as well as a way to get fit. My daughter loves listening to the noises it makes and laughing at me while I work out. I highly recommend it!Flag as inappropriate Posted by JennaB on 22nd August 2008 -
It sounds so cool. I think I'm gonna go for it. I've been checking around at stores and they say that it sells out really fast when they get a shipment in...Guess I'll have to be quick to find it

They have them on Ebay, but I found a lady on CraigsList that had bought 6 and she resold them for 50% more which I gladly paid to GET the thing!! They're you popular that they're impossible to find! Linda/CMAS, BS, RNFlag as inappropriate Posted by BizNurse on 25th August 2008
