no no no ... not that wee ...

the Nintendo Wii. DH and I finally found one a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely love it!!

the one we bought comes with the Sport Pack and has Tennis and Boxing (bowling, golf, etc too.)

according to my body bugg, i burn anywhere from 9 - 15 cals a minute while doing the boxing. (to compare - i do about 7-9 cals / minute on the elliptical / bike)

it is an amazing workout and i recommend it highly.

Is the Wii really worth the money? I was thinking of getting it for the same reason, but wasn't sure if it was worth it or if I would use it that much...

i love our Wii. we bought it weekend before last and have played every day since then.

i get a GREAT workout with the boxing and the tennis is pretty good too if you really move.

i do not regret getting it at all.

thanks for responding, I checked it out last winter, but I am going to have to look at it again!

the boxing burns the most calories, but I have found that I can get some good swings in on the baseball game too. If you are looking for another video game that does exercise, check out Yourself Fitness. I play it on the XBox but it has other platforms, I think. It customizes your workouts, gives you different scenery based upon your performance level and even offers a yoga session. The desert spa is fun scenery for exercise.

I love my Wii also! Men, I sweat and loose my breath in front of the TV. It's great family fun. I greatly recommend it.

My geek husband just showed me a prototype for the Wii called WiiFit. Apparently, when/if this game is released, users will be able to use a pressure sensitive foot pad for exercise, virtual hula hoops, yoga. It was demo'd at the E3 (electronic entertainment expo). Sounds like it will be a lot of fun.

Make that "film of a prototype" - not the prototype itself. Couldn't edit in the box for some reason.

Once a month, we have a "girls night" Wii party. It is great! Laughs, fun, exercise and bonding.

I just purchased my Wii. My husband and I are having a ball. I do not have my surgery until 9/20/2007 but it is fun playing. The time just slips by. Does anyone know of any other type of fitness games/programs for Wii? I need to get another stick so we can box each other. :eyebrows:
