Wii Fit
My son bought a wii fit and hopes to get fit.
Just wondering how you wii fit folks are going?
Have you become fit?
Are you still using it on a regular basis?

I was losing weight quite well with it until we began renovations and I no longer have the room in the lounge at the moment to walk through let alone set up the balance board!

Hopefully will get back to it soon though.  I've made the rule that it is only to have excersize type discs with it as hubby has pretty much every other gaming machine under the sun and doesn't need to hog this one aswell!   It was bought instead of a gym membership, not as a games machine.

If you don't use it for a day or more, it will rouse on you and ask why you haven't been on!  So there is some incentive for sticking with it - if you're on every day it wont yell at you.

Mum wont have one for that reason - she says its bad enough that the microwave beeps at her and tells her what to do let alone a computer game doing it too!

I luvvv wii fit! its so much fun too. I have 'fitness coach' aswell and boy she is tough on you. Its true they know if you skip a day or maybe 3..

Also the wii usually comes with wii sports, try out the boxing match for half an hour to an hour it will sure get your heart pumping. Great for arms, back, shoulders & chest.

Have fun!

I have a Wii Fit.
I love it. I have the Wii fit plus only at the moment, but I am planning on getting some other fitness based ones as well

I use wii fit all the time and it dose work i have lost about 10kgs so far. For me its more about the fact of a night time while my hubby is at work it only me and the kids and the kids want go walking with me because they are young so while they are sleeping i do my wii fit and if its raining or to hot outside then its so much better for me
