Wii- Fit

[Piglet4Ever]

pre-ordered my fit from Amazon, got it yesterday and so far I am loving it. I used it about 30 mins yesterday and 15 so far today, been doing mostly balance, and yoga so far, tried the short run that was interesting. I think it is really good so far and I am glad I bought it.

Has anybody seen this parody of the Wii Fit? It is pretty funny:


Seriously, we are still debating whether to get one or not.

Lol, thanks for sharing, that was funny!

We were also debating on whether or not to get one, then after reading all the reviews on here, we just had to give it a try. After much searching, we finally found one at Best Buy yesterday.

We all tried it as a family last night, and it had all of us laughing soo hard. The kids especially loved it when they saw mine & hubby's Mii figures "gain weight" after being weighed, lol. (I didn't know whether to laugh or cry right about then).

I guess we were more "out of shape" than we thought because it really was a workout for all of us. I think it is awesome that you can be more "active" in most of the Wii games - beats the kids just sitting in front of the TV as with other video games. It really was alot of fun. I can see myself sticking to this workout.

Woo Hoo! I finally got my Wii Fit Age down. When I started I was 48 (real age 38). The next day I went up to 54!! Today I was down to 35!



I think the key was just figuring out how the whole system worked - which way to lean to move bar up, etc. I don't think I began that much more flexible in 3 days!!

Does anyone regularly workout and find this challenging?

I exercise 5 times a week and wonder if it would be great for the days when I just don't want to drag myself out of bed before 5am.

I do enjoy Wii sports boxing on occasion for a nice cardio boost.

Thanks.

I think, if you put in 30 mins or so, and focus on the yoga, cardio and strengthening, it is a decent workout...the balance is fun, but not much of a workout

the hula-hoopin' is where i find most of my workout...the DW is SORE today from all the she loves the step workout

We have about 8-9 feet between our couch and tv and its just enough room. You dont wanna have the wii board right up against the tv, other wise it will be hard to follow any directions. So I would have to say 5 feet would be pushing it.

If you could move the couch back about 3 feet, then you would be good. If you cant, then I would use Wii Fit in another room. For most part your feet never leave the board, but for some yoga and like the push ups you do need a couple feet of room behind you. For the ones that you have to lay on the floor, that you can move the wii board up towards the tv, but still leave a little space between the tv and board. As for facing the wii board the other way so your facing away from the tv, you can, but it would be easier to follow directions when your facing the tv.

How much space do you really need in order to play most of the Wii Fit games? We have our TV in a somewhat narrow room - TV on one side, couch on the other, with only about 5 feet of space between them where we could do any Wii-ing. Plenty of space for regular Wii games, but I'm concerned about being down on the ground for the yoga and pushups, etc. Can you do them facing sideways or must it face the TV directly?

I just went to Walmart, and picked up wii fit today. The obese mii was depressing.. but, I'll get it down!

It is fun.. the entire family is into it.

Forgive me for not reading the whole thread, but my best friend just called me and said that when she logged all her body info into the Wii, her Mii got FATTER!!!! She was like, WTH!!! It was so funny we were laughing our heads off over it this morning. She said she "fixed" her Mii back to what she "really" looks like .

Now I'm afraid to get a Wii Fit. What if my Mii stops looking like a supermodel? I don't think my ego could take that...

We got our Wii Fit Wednesday. I've already managed to aggravate my heel spur. Darn it! See, I keep telling people that exercise is dangerous, and here is further proof. I may just have to make friends with my fat. Apparantly it's here to stay.

And here is my PSA: for the running, wear tennis shoes!

I work out at the gym 5-6 days a week and I love the Wii Fit. Today, I did a 1 hour workout on the Wii Fit(combination of some yoga, strength training, aerobics and balance) and then went to the gym for an additional hour. It was great to be able to add to my workout without having to live in the gym. Also, the aerobic exercises(especially hula hoop and running) really get your heart rate up. Also,as you unlock more of the strength training exercises it gets more challenging. The push up/plank combination is a killer. I definitely recommend getting one to add to your workout routine.

Target had three and the mats. Walmart had a case full. At least these are easier to get than the Wii consoles.

ask "whoever" when they get their shipments in. My Wal mart gets theirs every Wednesday. DH was able to walk in 1/2 hour after opening and pick up our Wii. He has been there when the Wii Fits arrived as well, but we are not slated to buy one until next month.

Can this be used on carpet or does it have to be on a solid floor (wood, tile, etc)?

It comes with some disks that you put over the feet if you have carpet. So, it can be used on either type of surface.

What's everyone thinking about their Wii fits? I've been watching this thread and just wondering if there are others out there using it and what do you think??? Anyone bored with it yet? I want to get one, but I want to make sure it's not a novelty! It sure does sound like fun though!
