Who uses the Wii Fit?

I use the EA Active game much more than the wii fit. Feels like more of a workout, plus I can make my own routines. I really like the volleyball, the dancing, the boxing, and the roller blading.

Jez, I love the plus.
You can set up your own routine (strength, yoga or a mixture) and then go through your routine without pausing. I really love the Basic Run Plus, too. I like the regular runs, but with the plus there are little quizzes at the end, about things you saw on the screen during the run. Geeky I know, but it mixes things up and makes the run more fun/interesting.

The other feature I really like is that I can set a calories burned goal too. I like shooting for that rather than for a certain length of time because some of the games and activities don't burn as many calories and I could easily get lazy without noticing it.

I like to do a little of each on the Wii Fit Plus, but I got Gold's Gym Cardio Workout that I like more because of the boxing - and I like to box, lol. I got the Just Dance too which is fun to dance to.

I found Wii Fit plus very useful during winter weather when I lost my motivation to go out walking every day. As I had no desire to join a gym and classes are thin on the ground around here, it stopped me from becoming completely sedentary again, and the yoga exercises had a visible effect on my posture when done regularly.

I have started to get bored with Wii Fit so bought Just Dance and My Fitness Coach. I didn't like My Fitness Coach at all initially, it looked and sounded like a game that was made on the cheap. I did two workouts then left it in its packet, but returned to it more recently to give it another try and now I have stuck with it. It's not fun, but it gets my heart rate up and I'm really noticing the difference the next day. I also like the fact that the workout varies from day to day and that I can use weights, since I had some hanging around the house. So I'll carry on with MFC for a while and then move onto one of the other fitness games.

I may need to go get the plus, then. On the original Fit, I like the step "aerobics". You get a bit more of a workout then you think you would.

I think Wii Fit now has somekind of Online community that connected directly through the Wii. I'll have to double check that, because I'm not entirely sure. I just kind of clicked through the message.

I also think I just found the perfect exercise. 15 minutes of trying to teach my 1.5 year old Rat Terrier to walk on a leash. I got him a few months ago from someone that did not training with him. It's been an experience.

have the wii fit and love it, much prefer the EA active tho, i find by doing some of the exercises in the wii fit plus it works as a warm up then get down to the ea active custom plan i've set up, mainly the boxing, dancing and step

We just got wii fit plus and are enjoying it as a family. While I wouldn't call it EFFICIENT (1 hr for 250 cal burned?! I can nail 300 in 30 min with a DVD) I do think it is fun.

I'm still not done exploring all of it though -- child has us going through the little games rather than the yoga poses or strength moves.

I love my wii fit plus, I feel like it's the most accurate way to weigh myself.

There's a May Wii Challenge up in the "Chicks up for a challenge" forum. Thought I'd mention it here in case anyone needs to get motivated to use their Wii a bit more.
