WII Fit

[Windus 0]

I am contemplating getting a WII Fit system - the one with the balance board.

Wanted to see if I could get some honest feedback from anyone who might have it.

I do not like to exercise :tongue2: and am looking for something that will make it a little more fun and hold my interest'

Comments?

Yes, I own one for a year and used it pretty faithfully for the first 2 months now occasionally I also have the wii active and the just dance, too

I am easily bored so I need variety, used when can't swim

Pro's: you can do it whenever especially if weather or allergies are acting up, quiet, don't have to leave home, gives you feedback, gives you wt, bmi and physiologic age, charts your progress, many activities including yoga and balance, can do it with others, doesn't take a lot of space

good if YOU have competitive nature

it does have a wt limit (350 lbs?) in case that is an issue

:tongue2:

We have one, but the weight limit is 330 pounds so I can't use it yet. My parents, on the other hand, use it ALL THE TIME and LOVE IT!!! They say that it's absolutely great and the fitness test on there keeps them motivated and wanted to do more every time. I think, if you are within the weight limit, it would be well worth the investment to get one. Best of luck to you!

I have one. I don't use it very often. The novelty wears off. Plus.. it groans every time I step on it. I know I'm fat... I don't need to be reminded. lol... I enjoy JUST DANCE or Dance Dance Revolution (DDR). That's what I'd suggest that you get for the Wii if you want to get moving and have fun, too. I also like Sports Resort.

I got one when it first came out. I used it a lot but got annoyed that you couldn't do say 20 minutes with out stopping every so often to press buttons and pick an activity (the activities are 1-5 minutes each- with a few exceptions). I got the WII fit plus right before I broke my foot and never really explored it- I used it today actually for the first time since surgery and am pleased- it lets you make routines... anyhow its cool for in the house, its great for quick workouts- when you want to squeeze in 10 mins or so.... the activities are fun and the board can be used for a lot of other games...

I agree with that it does groan when you do a fitness test. It shows your little mii and it gets bigger or smaller based on your BMI. Obviously mines always humongous. I think its kind of funny that its telling me I'm fat, but I'm hoping to improve on that. I want to see what it does when I lose a bunch of weight.

I don't have a wii fit, but I have the ea sports active. it's really a great workout. You can customize it to your liking. There's over 25 different activites and has 3 levels of intensity. It comes with a resistance band which is kind of light. I ended up buying a heavier resistance band from ebay. You can use it with or without the balance board from the wii fit.
