Default Wii Fit
I just got this and I'm hoping to use it to get me to do some exercise, (I haven't done any exercise for years)

I tried it last night and it really did work it got me out of breath and my heart rate up plus I can feel some muscles slightly aching that I didn't know I had

My kids and I were at the game store yesterday and I saw that. Would you recommend it? I too haven't exercised in ages, nor have I ever played the Wii that we have

I would recommend it, when you first gt it you have to enter your height and age and it calculates your BMI. There are some fun aerobic exercises on there which are great if your like me and have done NO exercise at all they start out quite easy but itstill makes your heart beat faster and gets you out of breath if your as unfit as me.

You also have muscle workout section which I haven't really tried yet as I can't get my daughter off there and Yoga.


I think it was well worth it as the exercises are really fun to do even if you do look really silly doing them

It hasn't been released here in the US, I think it comes out sometime in May. I watch my kids play the Wii (only for about a minute, that's all I can stand :P ) and I wonder how silly I would look doing that

I love WiiFit! It is really good for tracking your weight as well as exercise. I wouldn't say it's really really high intensity workouts but at least it gets me off the couch and moving some. I still love the weight tracking aspect of it the most though.

Some of you use Dance Dance Revolution right?

I love DDR for exercise! It really gets your heart rate going and is fantastic aerobic exercise! Plus it has fun music and a game aspect to boot!

I own a Wii but haven't bought the Wii Fit addition yet, primarily because it doesn't seem to offer me anything I think I'd use (not really into yoga) or am not already doing at the gym. Where I live the Wii Fit runs about $85 (you have to already have the Wii console, which is about $250). If the price comes down between now and Christmas I may break down and buy it anyway. If you don't have the benefit of a gym I do think this WOULD be a big plus for you.

On the flip side, though, the Wii console usually comes with Wii Sports, which includes bowling, tennis, baseball, boxing, etc. I routinely work up a sweat just playing those games! Seriously. You can do these games like my nephews do, from a couch (this younger generation!), or you can stand up and do the actual motions and get active with it. I used mine just this weekend, bowling and tennis primarily, and I was sweating when I was done. And it was a load of fun.

If you can afford the $$$ for the console I think it's a real plus.
