Wii Fit Plus Users: What do you think so far?

[SaveTheSeaTurtles]

I have really enjoyed my Wii Fit so far, I've only had it since Christmas. I love how your pets help you in some of the games if you made a profile for them. Unfortunately I have received low scores on exercises because of the real versions stepping on the balance board with me.

I was wondering if anyone has any of the accessories? I would like to buy a mat since the hardwood floor isn't the gentlest on me. Does anyone have one and did you buy a wii fit one or just a regular yoga mat. I've seen complaints that the ones made for the wii fit aren't that great and to buy the regular mats. Plus a regular yoga mat is cheaper and there are more colors. Just wondering.

I use a regular yoga mat to do the run. Here in Florida, the homes are on slabs so the floors are hard....the mat works fine, especially when I fold it over so it is doubled in thickness. I have been doing it this way for two months with no adverse effects for me or for the mat !!

Do you know if you can create the pet profile so the pet will "help you" on the regular Wii Fit or just the Wii Fit plus?? What does the pet do ? Maybe something similar to my recent post about being able to follow the pet dog on the run ?

Thanks in advance!

I love Just Dance better than Wii Fit and I get a great workout dancing.

We got the Wii Fit Plus for the kids for Christmas. At first they didn't get into it, but when they didn't loose 10 pounds in the first 2 weeks, they realized they needed to actually "work-out" to loose.
I have been steadily using it almost daily, maybe 5 days a week. I lost 10 pounds since Christmas. I shoot for the icecream cone every day. It isn't much but, it's better than nothing. Lately I have felt like going for just the icecream isn't a chore anymore & I have been going for the cake. My favorite is the biking & laughing at my kids doing the hoola hoop.
We have the Just Dance thing too. It gets boring after the first few times. I can't see dancing to the same songs over & over. I wish there was a way to unlock new songs or add more songs.

Just wanted to bring this back again. I am on day 46. I mix my routine up every couple days so it doesn't feel like exercise.

I use Just Dance and Wii Fit to alternate my workout. Sometimes I feel like running for my aerobic workout and sometimes I feel like dancing. Depends on the mood. But I will dance much longer than I will run. But I always follow up my aerobic workout with at least 15 minutes of strength training.
