Does anyone use a Wii Fit??



Recommended Posts

DH just brought me a Wii Fit and I love it!!!!!!! I was wondering if anyone else uses it as a part of their work out routine, how long, etc? I know it can't be the only work out a person does, but right now, while I am waiting for a date, I am trying to get myself geared up and making minor changes in my life. At my size, any movement I make is a bonus and through the games and activities, I do work up a sweat and raise my heart rate.... I do recommend this as an addition...

I have a Wii fit and love it. I enjoy "my fitness coach", it does not use the balance board and it is more like an interactive workout video but works up a killer sweat.

I want the my fitness coach to. I homeschool all three of my kids, so having the ability to steal 10-15 minutes here and there for a workout is much easier than finding an hour or two during the day...

I have the my fitness coach and gold's gym cardio workout. I'm waiting for finals to be over next week, before I try these 2.

Hi I just got Wii and Wii fit for my birthday (4/22). i love the step aerobics on it. I think anything we do to move is good for us. It's fun and addictive as well. Good luck on your band journey! Linda

I don't have the Wii fit - but we do own a Wii.

Can I use "my fitness coach" with just the regular Wii since it doesn't use the board?

Hello everyone-

I just joined this site under the recommendation of the care coordinator @ my surgeon's office. As far as the Wii Fit, I have hinted that I want it for Mother's day. I have a friend that swears by it and it is something that he can do with his son. My surgery is May 18th and I am hoping to get a little time on the Fit before surgery. If I don't make it on it right away I know that my kids will enjoy it also.

Take care..

I'm not banded yet, I love Wii Fit. Unfortunately I do not do it often enough because I am annoyed by my 4 and 2.5 year old fighting over taking turns. LOL I mean, I want them to share and be active but I don't want to spend 3 hours trying to get exercise because I have to keep logging out and logging each of them in! So I recommend if you get it, hiding it from the kids Haha!

I just bought my Wii and WiiFit on Monday and I can totally feel a difference. I know it is not a hard workout or anything but honestly it gets me up and moving. The Wii boxing sports game actually got me worked up and a little bit of a sweat. Plus I'll become such a Wii pro that I will impress my niece and nephews. I recommend it to anyone starting a fitness program.

Try doing the bowling, a few games... and use both arms. Try to use real form like you are throwing a real bowling ball... Wii Bowling made me scream in pain for two days afterwards because of all the muscles it worked out. :thumbup:

      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.
