Wii Fit - Update and Report

[barbmouse]

Thanks for all of the reviews of Wii fit. We have a Wii so I may look into getting a Wii fit. It sounds fun!! I think I would like it especially in winter when I want to stay home! We have Wii Sports that came with our console. did someone say fit comes with one too?

 

[Raenstoirm]

Nope, just the "fit" game, but it has a lot of new sports on it like soccer and skiing.

We searched high and low for the Fit last night and FINALLY found one at the last place my DH decided to look. So far I really like it but have realized that I'm more out of shape than I thought lol. Question, is there a place on it to track calories burned for things like running?

I have been thinking about getting a Fit eversince we go our Wii. Never once saw one in a store, looked on EBAY and YIKES they sure get alot for one..
Yesterday we went to Shopko to look at coffee tables and DS-13 wanted Mario Cart so we wandered over there and what was sitting on the bottom shelf- Yes a Fit! I grabbed it up- guess we don't really need a coffee table...LOL

Did the Fit while the guys were off fishing this AM- no way am I going to set it all up with them sitting there watching my numbers! Had a fun time with it and felt like I got a pretty good workout for my first time.
Hoping to just get myself in shape for lots of walking on our trip to WDW. As long as my feet, knees and hips don't hurt I will be great-
Need to loose weight but that is not my top priority- feeling good is what I want!

There is no way to track calories at all, hence why I had a HRM that measures calories as well.

Congrats on finding one by the way! That is half the battle

Thanks for the info. Where can you buy a good HRM? I'd like to have one to keep track of calories and stuff, especially since I just did a 20 minute run with it and have no clue how many calories I burned.

I just pre-ordered one of these!

That looks awesome!

I have an amara with a chest strap. I like the strap, but I am not overly thrilled with the way the watch fits on my wrist. Overall, I would buy it again.

You're getting married in 2 days, Raen?! Congratulations! Can you share a few details? Will we be missing you here for a honeymoon?

We just bought the Wi fit last week. I was lucky and found one at a Game Stop in the mall. Anyways I like it. The kids love it also. My DH likes it also which is a big plus!!!
I have a question, does everyone do the body test around the same time? Because I know weight can vary throught the day. I have been doing mine in the evening. I got a little frustrated when it told me I gained weight and then the next day I was back down to were I started. Maybe I should just do it once a week.

Yup, I got married last week , and we are back. It was just our "mini-moon." We got married in the Mojave desert and then spent a long weekend in Vegas. We plan on taking our Disneymoon in April.

There was a discussion of this somewhere. You pretty much have to take it with a grain of salt. I do it everyday, but don't take the results seriously.

Well, Congratulations!!

I don't take my results all that seriously either. I have been known to say that my clothes are "heavy" if I do it in the afternoon after I have been eating and drinking all day...

I am really enjoying the Wii Fit! I don't feel like I am exercising, more like having fun! Wonder if Nintendo will make up some more 'games' for the Fit- with our whole family using it we have unlocked most of it..

Love the Hula Hoop and Step!

I usually do my workout around the same time each day, early afternoon while the kids are napping. I don't do the body test every day, about every 3 days is enough for me, I am not going to obsess over the BMI and my weight!
