 Good work out September 19, 2008
Just got it but have tried the Wii Fit and like it for home exercise when getting to the health club is not possible.
 While the concept is great, It gets boring fast September 18, 2008

I have owned the Wii Fit since its release date. During the first month I used it religiously and enjoyed it immensely! I even lost 8lbs!! It is easy to use, fun and a great way to get the whole family involved.
However, as soon as I unlocked everything and "beat" the levels it got boring. I am so looking forward the Jillian Michael's new workout for Wii Fit to give me the re-newed interest.
There are a few suggestions that I would ask Nintendo to tweak on the fit...
1) Allow the ability to choose a set "workout" program for a period of time. For example; choose 1 hour and the Fit automatically switches from one "game" to another for the duration of an hour. They could also give the user options as to what type to do during that hour;, an hour in strength training, or yoga or even random.
2) Allow multiple users to "compete" in all games (like they do in the 2-person run)
3) Allow multiple people to log in at the same time so you can take turns without the hassle of going back to the beginning to choose another player
Anyway, I guess it is only fair to say that the hardware itself is exceptional, but the lack of software choices is frustrating. Come on Nintendo, release some new "games".
 No substitute for real exercise, but great workout if... September 18, 2008

When I first got this, I had a lot of fun on it! I used it daily for about 2 weeks. I got a great workout if I held my baby while I did the fun games (if you don't have a baby, try wearing a backpack with about 15-20 lbs. in it)! I was even sore the next day, which surprised me!!! The yoga was fantastic, too. I've always been interested in yoga and this was a great, private way to investigate. I also enjoyed learning about my center of balance and posture. THAT was worth its weight in gold! I thought this game might save me from spending some real money on a treadmill, but I did wind up getting a treadmill, too. Now, I use them both and mostly use the game to practice yoga and work on my center of balance, which has really helped my posture! Bottom line: It's really worth the price (around $80 at Fred Meyer, Kmart, etc.) and it's makes for a great workout if you use a backpack or baby as weight.
Its great for anyone September 17, 2008
Anyone can benefit from this as well as it being fun also such as the hula hoop. The thing is you end up having so much fun with it you forget its good for you. The things I like is it tracks your progress BMI,weight, wii fit age etc. You can set up a password too if you don't want prying eyes into your personal matters. You even get a personal trainer on it. It keeps good track of your habits and teaches you better ones. I go to a gym also but I got this into addition as I have lost bout 80 lbs and working towards a goal of getting a lapband to help me lose even more. I am one who doesn't like my health problems to get the best of me so I try my hardest to do my best and this wii fit is helping me to keep me motivated , keep me on target and with tracking progress cause I stink at journaling and remembering . This seems to help me with that area as well.Its a great little reminder to keep going and reach my goal. It fun teaches you about balance and the important role good posture and balance plays in every aspect in life ,both weight, health etc. I am glad I paid the little extra to get from a ebay cause you can't put a price on health anyhow so to me it was worth it just to find it and get it when I did. I do love this and would recommend it to others like myself who wanna help themselves live better lives and have fun doing so as well.
Whole family loves it.... September 17, 2008
Way to go, Nintendo!!! A way to add fun to fitness. My kids love getting fit.
