Wii Fit

[Soupermom]

Are these still hard to find? What would be a good price to pay? What all do I need? TIA

No more than $90, since that's the retail suggested price.

The only thing we have as an accessory is rechargeable batteries- I can't remember if they are AA or AAA. Other batteries void the warranty- just use the type you'd use at home. I don't find that you really need any of the other stuff.

Walmart.com has them for $89.74 with free site to store shipping.

My local costco stocks them for $79, as does Costco.com (but there is a shipping charge.

Amazon has it for $89.99 with free shipping to your house.

And if they say you need to buy accessories, find another place to buy it.

Most Best Buys carry them now. I see them just about every time I go. I believe they are $80 everywhere. As far as what you need, I believe all you need is a Wii, everything else to play the fit is included. There is several accessories for it but most you should have ie.. towel and water bottle. There is a new thing called ea sports active that I think looks more fun. Have fun.

I have one, got it a few months ago and I really have fun on it. I got mine at Target for $89.99.

Sorry, double post.

I've seen them at our local Babies 'R' Us.

We bought ours last year for my birthday. The only accessory we have is the storage bag. I would like to eventually get a yoga mat, though.

The only accessory we bought was a travel bag for the Wii. Cute, cute, cute little bowling bag. We take it with us in our RV, so the travel bag made sense to us, and besides, I thought it was just too cute!

If you already have a Wii, all you need to buy is the Wii Fit. It's a complete package with the board and the disk.

You can buy them easily right now, but once the holiday season is here they may be tougher to get.

If you use it in a room with carpet, be sure to put the feet on the balance board! Otherwise its measurements will be off by 20 lbs!

If you go to Target and do not see them in the case than ask as ours no longer keeps them in the case due to room constraints. I would not pay more than $90 before tax for it.

Thanks everyone. Does anyone know anymore about the EAsports?

Yep - I just bought one a few days ago. If you buy one (through tonight) at Best Buy (or BestBuy.com) for $59.99 you can get a free $10 gift card (if you do it online, though, make sure you click on the part that says something like "find out how to get $10 gift card here". You can also buy it online and pick it up in the store.

I've only had time to use mine once, but I was sweating by the time I was done. I started the 30 day challange and for Day #1 it gave me the option of 3 intensity levels. I picked "low" because I had already worked out on the treadmill that night and didn't know what to expect. It gave me 16 exercises for my session. Things like walking, running, rollerblading, bicep curls, bent over rowing, side lunges, boxing (including kicking) etc. I think there was 7-8 different things to do and each was repeated at least twice. And you can add the Wii Fit board, too, if you have one.

My only complaint about it was that the order that it had me doing the exercises was kind of strange (I'm sure it was that order for a reason, though). It was kind of awkward to go from putting the nunchuk in the leg strap, and then the next exercise was nunchuk in one hand w/ remote in other while holding both ends of the resistance band, then the next would be on the Fit board w/out shoes, then the next needed shoes again, etc. It seemed like I spent more time getting ready for each exercise then actually doing it. But it was fun! The session was about 20 minutes of actually working out, with probably another 20-30 minutes of setting it up and preparing for each exercise (including demos). I plan on doing another session tonight and will "up" the intensity.

We just got our wii fit today and are already in love with it! With tax I think it rang up to like 90 bucks. Our best buy had a ton of them!

For those of you that have had the Wii Fit for a while, have you lost any weight using it?

11 lbs since mid March for me. I use it usually 4 or 5 days a week for 40 min. DH has lost about the same and uses it less often. Not fair!

I have tried Curves and went 3 times a week for a year and did not loose more than a couple of pounds.

I think for me the convenience of just having it here at the house and being able to get on it first thing in the morning works. We also take it in our RV with us so we can continue working out on the road also.
