Who's got a WiiFit?

[imabrat]

We're most likely going to get one for my mom's birthday this week, but I'd love to hear your reviews of it.

I don't own one yet but I borrowed one for two weeks and loved it. I used it everyay for about 12 days. It actually had me exercising for two hours a day (but their time measuring isn't accurate, so it was a bit less) when I wasn't exercising at all before. I did mostly cardio.
Definitely hoping to buy it soon

Ours doesn't weigh right. It's like 10 pounds off. Tbh, it's alright. If you're getting it just for exercise, I'd skip on it and pick up something like Golds Gym, EA Active, or something else. It gets boring and the games start to get really easy. Although you can use the balance board with other games. I don't really use it that much anymore, but at the beginning it was really fun!

 

[WDWtraveler27]

i do! and i love it

 

[Babyjustrun]

I agree with Kayla, the weighing is SO off. I 'gained six pounds' in the matter of 24 hours. Yeah right. I went from being 104, to 102 to 108. It was fluctuating a bit TOO much.
I'm definitely getting the EA Active tho.

it's good, but you'll lose interest fast

Lol, I know. That happened to me too. My grandma gained about 5 pounds in 2 minutes.

EA Active is really fun, especially the sports. It's challenging but not crazy hard. Golds Gym is a really fun boxing game, I reccomend it. Good stuff.

I really want the EA Active because it has those bands that I've seen often on weight loss shows. I can't think of the word at the moment, I'm having a major brain fart.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

I use it a lot now.

I'm not allowed to go outside often, and i hate the basment where we keep all of the fitness stuff...so wii fit really helps.

It told me that I weighed 105. Which is slightly off, but that's okay.

I dunno, I like it a lot!

but I kinda prefer just to stick to my sit ups and push ups on the floor. x]

Oh. Resistance bands? You probably need to get a good one at the store from the fitness section. When I get the extra money I'm getting a different one because that one is really thin and I feel like whenever I'm doing the exercises it's gonna snap. I've heard a few of the same complaints about the band. Right now I don't use it until I get a new one. But, you should still get the game!

You can weigh 102 then go to 108 easy... It's called water retention. You have to weigh yourself at the same time each week. I do mine Monday morning before I eat breakfast and it's never inaccurate.

 

[Twins]

I like mine, but found that it got a little boring after a few weeks. I stopped using it when the weather got warm enough for me to be outside. I'll go back to using it when the weather turns too cold to take long walks.

 

[Babyjustrun]

Unfortunately my schedule doesn't allow me to weigh at the same time everyday.

The most inaccurate thing about the Wii fit, is it gives you entire minutes when you haven't been doing it that long. It keeps track of how long you've been exercising. If you do the 30 second plank, it gives you a minute, when you should be only getting half a minute.

home scales actually tend to be inaccurate based on a lot of different factors. just because your scale is "normal" in the weight that it shows you, doesn't mean its right. it just means that its habitually inaccurate.

 

[Pink_Belle]

I have it . I like it, but it's not something that I do alll the time or anything. I actually prefer to use the balance board on this game called Shaun White Snowboarding<<---soooo much fun. I'd like the EA Active.

The only ones that are truly accurate are the ones found in doctor's offices, gyms, ect. anyway.

 

[Cinderella90210]

Yeah I have one, got it in January. It's good but you soon lose interest in it, but there are newer games as you work your way up. If you want to lose weight it does help, but I just use it to keep healthy and have some fun with friends/sisters.

 

[taintedzodiac]

I have it but rarely use it. Been sticking to walking and push-ups while the weather is nice, but I may pick up EA Active come Autumn.

 

[PirateSnowmen]

I have it but lost interest after a couple of weeks. Once I unlocked everything and did the same things over and over again it got boring. I haven't used it in months. There are other games out there that use the balance board, and they look really fun. I've been meaning to go back and use my WiiFit, but I just haven't had time.

I use mine everyday. But I unlocked everything so it's getting really boring. But I know it helps me so that's why I still use it.
