 An active gift for a BIG birthday! July 21, 2008
I'm still working out the effects of a broken foot, and the balance games in particular are doing wonders for my ankle strength (even after having gone through a month of PT.) I think this device, long-term, will be a great benefit to us. And it is fun! What more could you ask?
The Man surprised me with this over the weekend (we've had the wii about a month.) What an unmitigated BLAST this board is! The selection of yoga, aerobics, strength and balance games and exercises will give you enough variety to keep you up and moving for hours at a time. You begin with a small selection of basic exercises and as you build time, the system unlocks more and more games and variety - I don't see us tiring of this.
It is easily possible to switch back-and-forth between two people, and that adds more fun to the games, although you don't play them head-to-head.
Great fun and surprisingly a real workout! July 21, 2008
The kids and I gave this to my husband for his birthday. I honestly couldn't figure out why he wanted this as he/we could go for a walk or jog for FREE. Well......I must say that the Wii Fit is great family fun and actually a challenge. The kids are having fun with a lot of the games and all the other training exercises. My son, who plays soccer, enjoys the soccer heading game and we enjoy watching him get hit in the "head" with soccer cleats and panda heads. I enjoyed finding out that my Wii Age was 32 -- 10 years less then what I am! My goal is to get it down to 18! Get Wii Fit and get off that couch! It's worth the price!
 Nice July 20, 2008
This is a great workout. I do not break a sweat when using this. But this is a core workout. You will work you abs, back,ect.
I knew that when I purchase it. I have unlocked all the workouts and now it is getting boring. I am hoping that Wii comes out with another workout to go with the board.

The Wii Fit makes exercise fun! It's like having an interactive scale that helps you meet your weight and exercise goals.
Lots of potential July 19, 2008
I've had the Wii Fit for a month now, long enough to get over the novelty phase, and I still love it. The point of the Wii Fit isn't fun, even though some of the balance games are entertaining. This is about fitness. No, it doesn't give me the same workout as an hour of kickboxing or aerobics at the gym, but it's convenient and much cheaper than a good treadmill. It also tracks my weight and my exercise. I can even put in other exercises that I do.
I love the yoga, but I've always been a yoga buff. Some of the strength training exercises are a little awkward with the board, and it complains at me about weight change if I use hand weights. The hula hoop and the boxing are winners for me. I also like the free step aerobics that provides a beat (that I can speed up or slow down) and tracks my steps while I watch tv. My son downloaded some Miis, and he thinks it's funny to see me doing step aerobics with Darth Vader, Mickey Mouse, and Charlie Brown.
My sister also bought this for my dad to go with the Wii that the rest of us got him for his 80th birthday. He and my mom have been using it, even though my dad has never had any use for computers or video games. With them Nintendo hasn't just tapped the casual player audience; they've tapped the no-play-ever audience. Kudos.
I look forward to new software using the Wii Fit board. I've heard that Jillian Michaels, among others, is developing a program for it, and I'm very interested to see how Jillian will use this to kick our collective butts. All in all, the Wii Fit has a great deal of potential.
But there are some things that I would like to see. How about a calorie tracker? Or ways other than BMI to track progress? I would also like to be able to enter exercises for days other than the current one. I went out of town for five days, and when I got back, I found that I couldn't enter any of the exercise that I did while I was gone. Since these are all software suggestions, they would be easy to add.
