I have both the wii fit and my fitness coach.

Both are good - but recommend my fitness coach for a butt kicking workout!

JULIETACKETT · January 2009

I got a WII fit for Christmas, and I love it. It actually makes you work muscles you don't even know that you have. About 10 minutes at a time is what I have been able to do, but it will hopefully get easier. Go get it, have a little fun!!

janiebeth · January 2009

I love mine.

It is really good for strength training, balance exercises, core training, and yoga. You have to work much more precisely on your core to complete most of the exercises correctly, because the wii fit board measures your balance and shifting of weight.

You can get a decent cardio workout if you use the running program, or the free step (gets unlocked once you have done enough of the others), but is not as intense as an aerobics class, tape, or machine (elliptical).

It is a lot of fun - as opposed to many tapes..

I got mine for christmas too and thus far, I really like it. You definitely feel some muscles adn your heart rate increases...now whethere this will replace a good old fashioned walk or a trip to teh gym I'm not sure...I've not opened all the activities yet, but I'll get there.
I know with the Wii Sports game too, the boxing is a great cardio...whew!! A few rounds of that and you'll sweat.

Jennnnnnnny · January 2009

sounds fun! i think im deff. gonna save up and get one

Rachel6901 · January 2009

This is defnitely worth your buy!!! You start off pretty simple and begin to unlock more workouts and activities. Also, within each of those, the more you do them the more reps/time you unlock to make it harder. The step aerobics are great, when you open the harder one, and the hoola-hooping is fantastic when you get over 5 minutes worth. Great ab workout!! I actually like it all, the strength training, yoga and games. Get it and you will be happy!!!

tlmmyboys · January 2009

I have a wii, and I love it. Though I don't have the wii fitness, the sports is definitely a cardio workout especially the boxing the better you get the harder it gets.

You need to get one.

Jennnnnnnny · January 2009

thanks everyone:flowerforyou: . i really wanna get one now lol. it sounds so fun!!!

furrflys · January 2009

we just got a wii for christmas! It's a great motivator!! I use it till i'm sore everyday. Right now we just have wii sports but this weekend we are getting the wii fit. The boxing games and training are the best they will wear you out garanteed! I have never been a video game player but this has got me hooked.

chrissyb · January 2009

ps i meant to say that i have wii sports and it's great and i have friends who heartily recommend the fit board to everyone!! :smooched:

saryann79 · January 2009

I have Wii Fit and Fitness Coach. The are both AWESOME - I use one or the other daily (sometimes twice a day) because they are so fun. On Wii Fit, I think the best cardio is the boxing (you have to "open" it after playing some others), but there are some others that are good too - running in place, step aerobics, hula hooping, and Wii Fitness Coach basically designs a workout based on your goals. Since my goal is weight loss, I have a new cardio/aerobics routine each morning waiting for me. It's like a new exercise DVD each day.

mommachag · January 2009

I just read an article on the Wii Fit and it said that the fit burns almost as much calorie wise as the actual excersize. the running as much as the treadmill. I think there was a difference of 10 calories. Neat huh?:bigsmile:

loomoyer · January 2009

We purchased wii with fit board for Christmas and it a lot of fun for the whole family. It also keeps the teenager off the couch. I am glad to hear that you do burn calories playing some of these games. I know I sweat it up on the hula hoop and tennis.

rialynn79 · January 2009

You most certainly find wii muscles that you didn't know you had! It's a good work out! I use it everyday and it's fun! Definitely the best purchase that I have made in a long time.

naugustyniak · January 2009

I have had mine since it first came out in May. It worked really great at first but it is more for beginning weight loss or fitness rather than ongoing. It is great to start out on though if you do not exercise at all. I don't use it much anymore because I kind of plateaued on the intensity. What I really do like about it though is that it keeps track of things for you like BMI, goals, how long it has been since you used it, it even had a birthday hat on when I used it on my birthday. The boxing is okay but it is more intense using a heavy bag (which my daughter has). I would have to say it is best for balance and strength but just okay for cardio unless you are a beginner.

JWLinderman · January 2009

We have it and I love it. I must be honest and say that I haven't used it regularly for quite sometime now, but we pulled it back out yesterday and I plan on using it every day. We're looking at getting the Fitness Coach as well.

i cans ee wheere the intensity will become and issue. However I unlocked the free run and the free step and just move faster and use weights. that has been helpful. the boxing I use arm weights. the hoola hoop is so much fun.
It's also great for strength training since it watches your balance and timing and for the yoga

lyla29 · January 2009

I use mine mostly for the yoga and some strength training. It's also fun to try and beat others in the family. My two oldest sons enjoy doing everything, and we end up having a lot of fun together.

What is the fitness coach?

I have Wii Fit and want more of a butt kicking workout!

jacmiley · January 2009

Fitness coach is a game with little interaction with wii remote but it makes up new routines of exercise depending on what equipment you might have. It's awesome. Check on amazon for reviews and pics of the game

lyla29 · January 2009

I just did the fitness coach for the 2nd day today, and it was nice to have a workout that changes a little bit every time you use it. I did the same workout as on Tuesday, but she changed some of the leg exercises. I am really enjoying it so far.

Jolie30 · January 2009

I ordered the wii fit along with the Jillian Michaels' game. It should come in either today or tomorrow. I can't wait to start using it. I've been told that you can do 30 minutes on it easily because it is so fun you don't realize how much time has passed. I know our whole family loves the wii sport one so this should be perfect! I just NEED to make the time to do it. :bigsmile:

I'm not overly impressed with my Jillian Michaels' game. I have it and some of the training things don't respond. Will you let me know how it works for you?

Thanks! Maria

Jolie30 · January 2009

I got home today and my package is in!! Going to check it out and report back!

CooL! Can't wait to hear what you think! It's so addicting (wii fit)!

sthomas77 · January 2009

We have a wii and for Christmas got the Outdoor Challenge. It's pretty good for cardio and has a hard 5-minute workout and an easy 5-minute workout. There are various other games that all get the heart pumping. I try to do it for 30 minutes a day and I've been working up a sweat and it gets my heart going. It's also about 1/2 the price of the wii fit. (which is why we bought it instead of the fit..lol)

the jillian michaels game got really bad reviews. everything said it responds slowly or not at all and the graphics were bad

goochinator · January 2009

I heard this too...I know some people can be unreasonable in reviews, so i still want to eventually try it...maybe if i can rent it somewhere...wont buy it yet though.
