Wii fit?

I'm not really a fan. Wii Fit has so many pauses where you need to select a new activity, etc. Wii Active, in my opinion, is a lot better. It's actual exercise routines, and you decide how long you want to do, etc. If you get the kit, I'd recommend getting a better resistance band than what comes with it.

this is what got me started moving again! do it as a workout, don't cheat (yourself) and push when and where you can without injury!! 1.5 months of this combined with starting to 'wear' my daughter (30lbs in a backpack) and i'm finally up to 30DS. my friend is also doing wii fit and seeing some great results by keeping up with it! good luck and rock it out like you know you can!!!

I like it. I use it as my primary method of tracking my weight, so that's handy. Some of the exercises are clearly just for fun, but I mostly stick to the ones that really feel like a good cardio workout (hula hoop is intense!). Someone mentioned the pauses and stuff for choosing a new activity - it does have a function where you can program a workout made up of the yoga and strength training exercises and then do them all in a row, which is handy. I mostly use the wii fit on days where I don't want to do an intense hour+ workout and just need to burn a quick 100 calories. Oh, that's another thing - it tracks how many calories you've burned based on your weight and the activity you did, which is handy.

Why not check out youtube for exercises - i'm positive there is a number of videos that you can do that you aren't jumping around. Youtube is free and you can find some exercise dvds that you love before you purchase them and the wiifit will cost about $50.00CDN + .(but if the boyfriend has it then i guess it's no $$ out of pocket)

Why not try walking, walking is good exercise too.

The exercises can be quick, easy and fun. The weighing feature, however, I've found to be highly inaccurate. I used it at first because we didn't have a scale, but quickly found that it would tell me I'd gained 15 pounds in one day. So that part, I don't trust anymore.

I like wii fit, but it is hard to keep your heart rate up as there is so much, talking and crap. Typically when I do wii fit I make my own workout with yoga nad strength moves, which goes from one exercise to the next, much better than all the pausing. I would suggest getting the ea workout for the Wii.

That is exactly what I thought. You spend 30 minutes on Wii Fit but you only spent 15 minutes actually working out. EA Sports Active for the Wii is so much better. It's more efficient and you get a way better workout. The EA Sports Active 2 is even set up so you don't need the remote and the nunchuck so you can use dumbbells instead of the bands if you prefer.

I've used the wii fit millions of times, when i was 16 i lost 2st on it, and now i'm doing it again. i'd suggest the wii fit plus, just simply because there are more games to do definitely worth the buy!

Wii fit burns calories and is a lot of fun. If you do the running, hula hooping, dance, and things like that you burn many calories. I enjoy it. I would also recommend Wii Active. It is a lot of fun and does cardio and strength training combined in one workout. Most last 20-45 minutes depending on intensity level.

I think the will will ovr out. I to live in a apartment and can't jump aroung. So I got the ps3 work out and the ps3 bowling. It does work. I also do alot of slow walking. between 3 to 7 miles aday. Rememger it took awhile for my weight to come on and it will take longer to come off. So plesae keep trying.

It is a great exercise starting point. both for balance activities and for cardio. I kept having to make it to the next level and find all the baloons, and beat my last score on the bike riding one. Now I am doing the running. I like biking better because you can choose your route and bike all around the island, learning new short cuts.
YUP lost my first 30 pounds that way and thought it was great fun. When I get tired of it, EA Sports is on my list.
Enjoy.

I prefer the Wii fit Plus - because you can make up your exercise routines and keep going one after the other with muscle workouts or yoga or combine things. One at a time, it's not enough as there are too many pauses in between. It's fun tho!!!!

I know what you mean about living in apartment tho! There are very few where you'd be jumping around tho and the downstairs ceiling would shake (like jogging) - most are great fun. My kids love it too, especially the balance games!! I have to say the yoga and the strength training really challenged me when I first started. Go for it, especially if your bf has it collecting dust!

Nothing to lose but pounds and nothing to gain but tons of fun!

I have used the Wii Fit since last summer and love it. When I first started it kicked my butt doing even the easy exercises but soon found that I had to increase to advanced or increase the minutes to get a good workout. I couldn't do the run for more than a minute when I first started and now can do the island run without stopping. Also not gasping for air like when I first started. I even had to buy the Wii step riser because just the balance board eventually wasn't high enough. I got the riser that converts from 4 inches to 6 inches and it made a big difference. I ride my bike when the Wii Fit that I didn't have any trouble at all riding when summer came and now can do over 7 miles without stopping. So...in my opinion the Wii Fit is excellent.
