Pops, sell it! hahaha, wii fit is sooo much more fun....just kidding....I guess you will be spending a lot of time at your friends house.

Did over an hour last night and then did 3 boxing matches. Was nearly crawling upstairs to the shower lol....

My favourite game is the Zen one. It's one of the last to be unlocked, but it's really good meditation wise. <3

I feel a bit silly, having been forced to get the game for work so I could review it. I work for a videogame retailer now though, and we sell out of them every week.

I play wiifit everyday, and really do suggest adding Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party to your library of games if you have any sense of humor :P

I love the fitpiggy <3 never leave home without my morning session of rhythm boxing, super hula hoops, and step. :P

LOL! i don't think i'm going be able to use hers much, back to good ol' fashioned actual running i guess!

I love using mine and I especially love the fitpiggy - it's so good to see how much exercise you're actually doing and not what you guestimate yourself! It's good if a lot of people use it as it gets your competetive side going too - I am the best at heading footballs, noone comes close to me!

Ooh I got the gold piggy tonight! Pathetic that I got so excited! I made all the kdis come and look at it!

Moonchild · 02-19-2009, 04:11 AM

i get really frustrated by the bubble down the river one....the advanced one...i get within meters of the finish line then get hit by a bee!!

i did that one for almost 20 minutes last night!!!

and FINALLY did it!!

Love the penguin one as well!!

I have noticed my posture is better

Moonchild · 02-19-2009, 06:27 AM

lol...the balance games drive me off my head.....i just cant do them, im bad at all of them besides the zen......

PhatPhoenix · 02-19-2009, 10:10 AM

Hey I can do the bubble one in fact once you get to the end it goes on your time, not distance so then you're chasing your own time! (None of the kids have even got to the end yet and they try all the time!) Did my fastest ever this morning - 30 some seconds. There's a trick to it. Once you have the thing started off - try and start as fast as you can as that seems to mean you move faster the whole way - then stick as centrally as possible - then you should be able to move along easily. Instead of 'walking' you stand very centred, and just lean forward and if your centre of gravity is just right, you can just shift your weight very slightly and it will work.

I can't do the tightrope one (have got as far as the mantrap) but have beaten the kids off the leader board at the ski-ing and ski jumping! I can't head the balls but I can do the hula hoop (but don't like it!)

My niece is far heavier than me, and she is brilliant at all the balance games - don't think anyone can beat her! I like the jogging and the free stepping.

I've lost half a stone now in the 20 days I've had it... but today when I did my Wii Fit Age (which I never do!) it said I'm 57! First time I did it, half a stone heavier, I was 47! (My actual age!) What a cheek!

AngelD · 02-20-2009, 06:29 PM

The age thing is so random. I did really well one day and got a 20 (I'm 27) then the next day I was 36. I think it just depends on what tests it makes you do.

I've tried purchasing the WII fit and it's been sold out at every store I go to ... Typical here because it also took me almost 6 months of calling around stores on their shipment dates to be able to get the WII console .

dutchgirl · 02-22-2009, 11:27 AM

I finally just got mine and hooked it up this afternoon. Huge fun! I didn't play very long because I am not feeling well, but I couldn't resist a little go on some of the calmer stuff, balance etc.
I absolutely loved it!
Can't wait for this cold to settle down and really get into it.
I'm afraid I may turn into an addict.

Dandelion Trickle · 02-22-2009, 05:24 PM

I went looking around, and calling around, for the WII Fit this morning and had no luck.. I think I will have to settle with paying a little more for it online.

Moonchild · 02-23-2009, 03:07 AM

Dandelion did you try Argos? Or Game Station? they did have them last weekend when we were out.

Dutchgirl....welkom!!!! I'm sure you'll be having a blast once your cold has settled, the board is great, I wish they would have invented it earlier lol....
