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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
