Honestly...I don't have a clue but when I asked my 12 yr old what piece of exercise equipment I could buy that he would use too, it was a Wii Fit. From what I can find out you can do yoga, strength training, cardio and a bunch of other stuff.

It's a video game that comes with a "balance board". The board weighs you to figure out your bmi and also can measure your balance. The cardio stuff, imo, is pretty lame and rarely rises to the level of true cardio. My family likes the strength training and yoga stuff though.

The cool thing about it is that once you get the balance board, there are other games you can buy that use it. The scale is supposed to be the most accurate one a consumer can buy.

The Jillian Michaels game for the Wii is faulty at best. However, the wii fit games are awesome. Outdoor Challenge can burn quite a few calories and is alot of fun. Boxing is another big calorie burner. You can burn fewer calories and have fun with tennis and snowboarding. Also Dance Dance Revolution is awesome. There are so many options with the Wii - I don't mind exercising.

I wanted the wiifit but I'm afraid it would be one more thing I buy and don't use. I do like the boxing and bowling games. Do love to dance so I'm going to check into the dance dance one. Thanks

I love my Wii Fit!

It's new, and I don't do the run due to pregnancy, but I love the yoga & aerobics--the step aerobics, which are like dancing.. are my favorite. I should probably get DDR. I had it on PS2 and the mat, but I hated it. Maybe I'd like it more with the wii fit board.

What's also nice, is my husband does it too--so we compete for top scores, etc.. keeps us motivated.

If you & son did it together, you could be competitive.

Ok my only complaint (though minor) is when you step up on the board, mine always goes "OH!" --reminds me of those Kathy comics where her scale is always making fun of her. Oh well. Does it to DH too, so I thought that's what they do. But I saw my mom get on it and it says "Great!" so I was like..grrr.

I love the Wii Fit - I don't use it as much as I should because I have to set it up in my livingroom. The hula hoop is the best, and I kick my daughters' butts at it, lol. The kids love it, too - dh doesn't pay much attention but he weighs 180 so he can stay off my Wii Fit anyway! :-)

It definitely gives you a hard time if you gain or don't use it for a while (snide comments and such), but I think that's a plus - I would rather deal with a machine giving me grief than a real person, lol.

for some one who does nothing in the way of exercise, just the training part of the wiisports had me huffing and puffing. I bought the dance dance revolution, but I'm having trouble just getting anything right on that. I just get booed at. But I'm having fun with the rest Bonnie

I really really REALLY want a Wii Fit, but having to buy the wii as well makes it a lot of money for me. How much would it be to buy all of this for two people so I could play with a friend?

Console is approx. $250, and the WiiFit is approx. $90.

Only one person can play at a time, so that divided by 2, unless you both want one at your own house, then that x2.

Where did you get it from? Everywhere I've looked, they're out of stock.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
