Thoughts on Wii Fit?

Wife has done wii fitness and mfp and has done good

I love mine! AND I just bought Jillian's Biggest Loser Challenge..............can't wait to start it~!!

Any thoughts on Wii Fit? Good? Not worth buying? Tell me!

we used it once and it's been a door stop since. I tried it again recently and thought it was pitiful compared to other fitness games. better buying ' gold's gym' for a few bucks, that game helped me lose a ton of weight.

I like doing yoga on the wii fit.

I like it. I can use it for stepping and general exercise when it is too cold or wet outside and/or don't feel like going some place to workout.

It is all what you put into it! It might tell you that you did well if you just move your wrist up and down, but YOU know if you actually did what it was asking you to! It can be a great workout if you actually get into it and do it correctly, but it is also easy to let yourself cheat. So don't let yourself cheat. Haha!

Hello! I do Zumba Wii Core and love it! The Zumba Core Wii is awesome because it comes with a belt that you put the wii remote in, it picks up your moves. After you put your personal data in (weight, age, etc) you get an estimate calories burned and so far I get about 500 cal burned after an hour. Plus you really sweat and your heart gets a good workout. On top of that, the dancing makes it fun and the hour passes quickly.

I agree with a lot of the comments. I enjoy my Wii Fit. I've been known to put on the free style walking or running and jog/walk while watching TV. It gets me moving at least. If you put effort into it, it can be a great workout. I personally love the boxing and the ultra hula hoop. I'm sore the next day after those two workouts. I also like the yoga and strength training moves.

If you need accountability and are a visual person to see your progress, I get great satisfaction from stamping my day when I use it. You can see every day you've logged in and done something, it's nice. Need to use mine more often actually.

Only concern would be getting a constant burn, there is lag time between changing activities which is a bummer. Good lunch to you :-)

Wii Fit isn't much of a workout, more of a game but there are some good workout available for the Wii. The 2 I like the most are EA Sports Active 2 and Gold's Gym Cardio workout.

I don't know about the Wii Fit but I can tell you I play the Sports Games: Tennis gives me a great workout and Bowling is another great workout for me. I've seen others play and they just wave their hand and don't move. I set dance music when I play both Tennis & Bowling & move to the music.....It's a Great Workout for me!!!

It isn't amazing- but I like the yoga and any movement is better than nothing. However, if you already have an exercise regiment or belong to a gym I wouldn't waste the money.

i have Zumba - tried it twice and just couldn't get the hang of it. I have a Jillian Michaels game and really liked that one....actually forgot I had it until I started reading this post! Think i need to break it out again! I also have the wii fit plus....haven't used it very much....but it's good to get you up and moving a bit

I have the Wii Fit Plus and love it. Some of the game oriented exercises are a bit too easy but many of the workouts (step, cycling, running, etc.) are great workouts that can really make you sweat if you put in the time. The yoga on the Wii Fit is a great way to introduce yourself to the positions if you're not familiar with yoga. I bought a 4" riser for my Wii Fit to do the step aerobics and it makes a HUGE difference in the step workout. I also have Wii Fit Zumba 2 which I would not recommend. It has lots of great reviews but I personally find it confusing because I've never taken a Zumba class and find the game hard to follow without any prior knowledge of that type of workout (plus the graphics are awful).

It's fun, but not a great workout.

I did lose a lot of weight with the Wii being my only exercise program, though: EA Active 2, Zumba, and Exerbeat Gym Class Workout, mainly. Highly recommended!

I would say it's was worth it for me because it came with the balance board. I have a few other games that are compatible with the balance board so it's nice to have. For a work out, it's not the greatest. It's certainly better than nothing. I use my Wii Fit Plus frequently, because I use it to weigh myself. I don't have another scale. If I have it turned on I'll do some of the exercises. I feel like I can get a decent work out in with some of the boxing stuff, and if the weather is bad doing some of the running but I can definitely get a better work out in the same amount of time with some of the other games. I really like the EA Sports Active games and the Zumba for the Wii isn't too bad either. I know some people find the Zumba confusing and honestly it probably is if you've never done Zumba before, but it gets me moving and in the privacy of my own home so I don't have to look like an idiot in front of other people.

If you do get the Wii Fit go for the Wii fit Plus, not the original Wii Fit. With the Wii U having just come out and people wanting to upgrade to the new system I would imagine Wiis are cheaper and you could probably find Wii Fit plus for a good deal at a used game store.
