February 1, 200917 yr Author Honestly...I don't have a clue but when I asked my 12 yr old what piece of exercise equipment I could buy that he would use too, it was a Wii Fit. From what I can find out you can do yoga, strength training, cardio and a bunch of other stuff.
February 1, 200917 yr It's a video game that comes with a "balance board". The board weighs you to figure out your bmi and also can measure your balance. The cardio stuff, imo, is pretty lame and rarely rises to the level of true cardio. My family likes the strength training and yoga stuff though. The cool thing about it is that once you get the balance board, there are other games you can buy that use it. The scale is supposed to be the most accurate one a consumer can buy.
February 3, 200917 yr The Jillian Michaels game for the Wii is faulty at best. However, the wii fit games are awesome. Outdoor Challenge can burn quite a few calories and is alot of fun. Boxing is another big calorie burner. You can burn fewer calories and have fun with tennis and snowboarding. Also Dance Dance Revolution is awesome. There are so many options with the Wii - I don't mind exercising.
February 4, 200917 yr I wanted the wiifit but I'm afraid it would be one more thing I buy and don't use. I do like the boxing and bowling games. Do love to dance so I'm going to check into the dance dance one. Thanks Edited February 4, 200917 yr by kedasmom added another line
February 4, 200917 yr I love my Wii Fit! It's new, and I don't do the run due to pregnancy, but I love the yoga & aerobics--the step aerobics, which are like dancing.. are my favorite. I should probably get DDR. I had it on PS2 and the mat, but I hated it. Maybe I'd like it more with the wii fit board. What's also nice, is my husband does it too--so we compete for top scores, etc.. keeps us motivated. If you & son did it together, you could be competitive. Ok my only complaint (though minor) is when you step up on the board, mine always goes "OH!" --reminds me of those Kathy comics where her scale is always making fun of her. Oh well. Does it to DH too, so I thought that's what they do. But I saw my mom get on it and it says "Great!" so I was like..grrr.
February 4, 200917 yr hello, I LOVE MY Wii FIT it is the best work out. It has helped me so much. The weight limit is 320 lbs. :thumbup:Rae
February 9, 200917 yr I love the Wii Fit - I don't use it as much as I should because I have to set it up in my livingroom. The hula hoop is the best, and I kick my daughters' butts at it, lol. The kids love it, too - dh doesn't pay much attention but he weighs 180 so he can stay off my Wii Fit anyway! :-) It definitely gives you a hard time if you gain or don't use it for a while (snide comments and such), but I think that's a plus - I would rather deal with a machine giving me grief than a real person, lol.
February 9, 200917 yr for some one who does nothing in the way of exercise, just the training part of the wiisports had me huffing and puffing. I bought the dance dance revolution, but I'm having trouble just getting anything right on that. I just get booed at. But I'm having fun with the rest Bonnie
February 19, 200917 yr I really really REALLY want a Wii Fit, but having to buy the wii as well makes it a lot of money for me. How much would it be to buy all of this for two people so I could play with a friend?
February 20, 200917 yr Console is approx. $250, and the WiiFit is approx. $90. Only one person can play at a time, so that divided by 2, unless you both want one at your own house, then that x2.
February 23, 200917 yr I just ordered a Wii Fit, a Wii, and three games! Jillian's, The Dancing Game, and Mario Kart! I can't WAIT! Anyone have any other games they like?
February 23, 200917 yr I just ordered a Wii Fit, a Wii, and three games! Jillian's, The Dancing Game, and Mario Kart! I can't WAIT! Anyone have any other games they like? Where did you get it from? Everywhere I've looked, they're out of stock.
Does anyone know the weight limit for the Wii Fit?
