Anyone using this for excersize? I own one and love it. I love the hula hooping and am a hula hooping queen. You can REALLY feel it in your abs and legs. I also love the skiing, and ski jumping. The other balance games are good but a bit slow for me.

    i was debating whether or not to buy a wii. i've always wanted one and figured i could do so with my taxes this year. but i'm hesitant i'll get bored with it. is it boring if you do it alone or alot? or is it something i really should invest in? lol

    I love it and would rather do it alone. I don't need others watching me excersize. I usually do it when the hubby and baby are in bed.

    Wii Fit really is alot of fun. I use it as an extra to my regular workout routine.

    For those of you looking into Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatim, I should tell you, it received terrible reviews. Please check it out for yourself on Amazon.com.

    I recently got My Fitness Coach for the Wii on my birthday and it is absolutely amazing! It is a serious workout and is different everyday. Look that up too on Amazon.com if you are interested.:flowerforyou:

    The Jillian Michaels fitness ultimatum is fantastic! you can pick the total length of your workout so you can work out uninterrupted unlike the wii fit games. you can also pick different workouts and it automatically switches up your routine to keep your heart rate up but you don't get bored!

    Something I've started doing with my Wii Fit is doing the 30 "Free Run" and lifting light weights while doing it. I found that it REALLY pumped up the workout!!

    that is interesting about adding small weights.

    how much do you lift while do the running?

    I've been doing 5lb weights..just doing curls and whatnot with the remote in my pocket. I think I'll go to my 10lb weights next week. You'll feel a HUGE difference once you add the weights!

    Oh my gosh...that's the saddest thing I've ever heard. Well...one of them any way! Hang in there...I'm sure it was some kind of mistake. And if it wasn't (?) is there some way you can get it to work anyway? I don't have one, but was wondering about them. I'm thining about going out to my garage right now and gettin g ahula hoop and hula while I watch a movie. Care to join me? "Wii" can hula together virtually! :wink:

    I got a WiiFit for Christmas. Unfortunatly, the WiiFit board has a 330 pound weight limit. I have been working hard to get to that point so I can use my board. My husband has been using the yoga and strength exercises for a few weeks and has lost 20 pounds. Of course, he is also dieting but the Wii is helping.

    I'm hoping to reach this 'mini goal" this week... last time I checked I had two pounds to go.

    If you really read into the reviews on the Jillian Micheals Wii game, the people who did the reviews usually went back to update their reviews after they researched online how to really use the program and after learning truly how to use it correctly most people loved it. I have not purchased it yet, but I think that is my next purchase. It was just lack of product knowledge for those first reviews, I believe.
