Is anyone still using their Wii Fit? It just doesn't seem to be as popular anymore..

    I had to give up my Wii when I got pregnant so no more Wii Fit for me. I loved it though- just wished I could shut the trainers up, lol. Now I use the Kinect on the Xbox 360. Its so nice, I still have some problems with it but it's helped me exercise.

    I thought Wii Fit & Pregnancy would actually work. It's low impact. It's usually the higher impact workouts while pregnant can be the dangerous thing.

    have had mine for a couple yars now. I still weigh in on it.. It currently makes me lighter than the real scale.. But anyway.. I like doing it for a little while nothing major. I like the "Step" and hula hoop. Mostly like to weigh in I guess so it can keep track. At 61 I like when it tells me my fitness age is "30".

    After almost three years, I am still totally in LOVE with my Wii Fit!!!
  • Nope but this topic is going to make me wipe the dust off mine and play around with it.

    I have" Zumba 2", "Walk It Out", and recently got "Just Dance". I have to be really careful about using it tho due to my balance problems but my husband loved playing with it.

    I don't use the wii fit too often anymore because I find it doesn't work up a sweat much, but I love Gold's Gym Cardio Workout for the wii! That is hard work!
  • i still use mine almost everyday! It is so easy and actually burns alot of cals!

    I like the wii fit, I just hate the stupid sounds that it makes when I step on as if I'm the heaviest person in the world. And my mii, poor girl, can't even find a shirt big enough to cover her belly! lol

    I still use it. I think the reason why I don't use it everyday though is because I can't watch tv while using it. If I go on the treadmill, I can still watch my regular shows which I more convenient.

    Oh I know!! With the son losing interest in the Wii for the moment I completely forgot about that one!! I loved it and you are right, it was a good burn...and kind of fun, in a suffering sort of way ;)

    Wii fit is also a good system to use on rest days when you need a little bit of calories. :bigsmile:

    I have a high family history of miscarriages and premature births. I saw that message when you first load it up that you should ask a health professional before/ or not intended for people that have blah blah blah stuff, and decided it wasn't worth losing my baby to exercising on a game. I did do a bit of exercise during pregnancy but not a lot. I ended up giving birth a month early anyway.

    I still use it for weigh ins, and I do Walk It Out on the Wii. But I started 30DS this week so I'm not using the actual Fit so much right now, but I was using only the Wii for my exercise up till Monday.

    I use wii fit 5+ days a week - I use the EA sport games & dance games. If you want a friend feel free to add.
    I have lost 45 lbs in 3 & 1/2 months.

    I use it to weigh myself.
    Sometimes I do the Rhythm Boxing & Super Hula Hoop.
    The other stuff is boring when you play by yourself.

    I rather EA Sports Active, it's realistic exercise.

    I have been using the Kinect everyday, I still use the WII stuff, but the Kinect stuff is a little better. I have EA Active for the ps3, but I haven't tried it as of yet.

    I use mine almost every day to weigh myself, and then I usually end up doing some Super Hula Hoop, at a minimum. I do some of the strength training exercises and yoga, and the step, free run, and some of the games. I guess I do use it rather frequently. I am the worst at that stupid snowball game. I do see that it has helped my balance and strength, and I can break a sweat. They are nice to do on "rest" days, as someone else said above.

    Other than Wii Fit games, I love, love the Just Dance games and do at least 15-20 minutes of them at least a few times a week. I also have My Fitness Coach and The Biggest Loser, both of which I will go back to as soon as I finish up with 30 Day Shred.

    I use it on the days that my gym is closed or I can't get there for one reason or another. So not super often but still really glad that I have it!
