Wii Fit.....anyone tried it yet ?

[wicket2005]

I know it is such fun and makes using it such a laugh, especially when all the family join in. But can you now feel muscles that you didn't know were there? I did the lunges and now coming down stairs I can feel it!

 

[tashasmum]

Definitely found some muscles that haven't been used in a while. My calves and my waist are the areas were i can feel it most. No pain no gain!

Have you tried doing the yoga tree yet? I am more like a palm tree in Orlando being hit by Hurricane Katrina! The hubbie is okay because he is tall enough to press his fingers on the ceiling!

Not tried that one but will do. Not too keen on the yoga so haven't done much on that. Yesterday i unlocked the Island run, so thought i would try it last night before i came off and it was 13 mins long. Had to sit down with a cup of tea to recuperate.Do you think the timings are accurate?

 

[wicket2005]

Don't know about the timings. I would imagine the run just takes as long as you do to run it.

I made the mistake of holding the remote for a couple of runs, slowly goes it. If you do the recommended thing and pop it in your pocket you appear to run a lot faster (I wasn't moving my arms around that much so the movement wasn't being picked up as much).

I told my hubbie about it this morning and he found the run tons easier.

Thanks for that bit of info. Always run with it in my hand and only get 58% fat burn but Dh had it in his pocket and got 94%. Will try that tonight.

Just tried the Tree. One word, rubbish!

Our wii fit came today! Apparently I am fat and 44 when really I am only 33, it got the fat bit right

We've had quite a bit of fun with it. My strengths seem to lie in the downhill skiing, I got to the bottom of the hill with no misses in 34 seconds and I was pretty good at the hula hooping too but it nearly killed me

 

[Danauk]

OK, anyone else not amused that their Mii's are now fat!!
I tried the tree thing, and yeah, I looked like one swaying in a force 10 gale!! I'm loving the step thing though, although the harder level had be perplexed the 1st time I did it!!

LOL DD laughed at my "new" restyled Mii

Apart from being obese (which I didn't need the Wii to know) I had a Wii fit age of 40 (5 years younger than I am) and DH had a Wii fit age of 57 which is 5 years older

We managed quite a few of them last night and it's a great laugh.

Mine too Nat as I was rubbish at the step. I really like the boxercise tho, that's my favourite so far.

My mum is desperate to have a Wii Fit (she doesn't even have a Wii) because all her friends are talking about it. She is going out this weekend to buy a Wii then she can have a go....peer pressure still goes on, even in your 60's

I've begged my Dad to buy me my birthday present of a Wii Fit early (my birthdays not for 8 months).

 

[Queenie]

I'm hoping Amazon get some in stock soon as I have a load of vouchers I want to use to buy one now I've read some good reviews. Everywhere around here seems to be sold out.

Same here! Everything else I seem to be able to achieve 3 stars, and sometimes even 4 stars. Give me a balance one and I'm lucky to get 1 star! And here's me with a new Wii age of 22!!!!

 

[Funniebunny]

I'm the opposite, I can get 3 or 4 stars on Yoga and Muscle work out but only 1 or 2 on the other two sections. Sadly didn't get chance to use it tonight so need to work extra hard tomorrow
