Anyone have a Wii Fit?
 

What is your favorite exercise you do with it? How many exercises comes with it? I am so not techno savy...but I am looking for anything to keep me motivated?;) Is it worth the $$ ??

I do and I absolutely love it! Totally worth the money! I haven't tried the boxing (little afraid to :o ) But I've heard that it's a very good workout on the Wii Fit. Looking forward to trying it! I just love the hula hooping and penguin slide (seeing my character as a penguin makes my niece happy!)

I bought one ast christmas and I love it, the boxing is fun too, one of my favourites. I'm glad I bought it, much fun!

I love my wii fit! haven't used it as much as I would like to....but hopefully I will find more time here soon!!

Love mine
Got "My Fitness Coach " for myself for Christmas.
I am SOOOO sore and I only used it 15 minutes.
I say anything that gets you moving is a good thing!

I really want one!! How much do they cost?!

I got one for Christmas and love it! I had my doubts but it has left me a little sore after two days of it lol

I have heard good things about it too. I am interested in knowing the cost.
Thanks.

I love my Wii Fit!! They are really hard to fine here though... the price ranges from $100 to $150, but you also need the Wii console as well which is about $269.99 (canadian pricing)

I really like the yoga and the games. Ski jumping and boxing are really fun! I'm still mastering penguin slide - though I agree - seeing myself as a penguin is a hoot!

It is more of a workout than I thought it would be, and overall - I'm loving the wii and the wii fit!

The Wii Fit Board is really cool - when you first sign on - you will get your Body Mass Index, Weight, and Your Actual Age rather than you biological age. The scale is amazingly accurate and with every sign on - you have the option of receiving fitness tips. The board comes with several games. When you accomplish or excel any of those - you receive upgrades (or something similiar - I have reached a couple of those but have yet to open them). The system will ask how much weight you want to lose and actually track it for you with a graph. This may sound intimidating but it isn't - it's all about you and you and the board are the only ones who will know - when you reach your goal - it's truly great to see! I hear the snow boarding game is good and there have been mixed reviews on the Jillian Michaels game for the board. If you don't already own the wii, go to toys r us.com or walmartl.com and look for the bundle - you should be able to get a good deal - the board alone runs about $90. Hope you get for you won't be disappointed!:goodluck:

Anyone know what the weight limit on the board is, lol. I know my scale has a weight limit of 440, and it was really hard to find a scale that strong.

I've read 300 pds and 330 pds. I got it this christmas and i LOVE it! It's just fun. And some of the activities don't seem like they are doing much at the time but I'm really feeling it today (ouch). I got the sports pack too (came with the Wii) and even those ... I had to turn down the apartment heat when we tried boxing.
Just make sure you are using your wrist strap!

Glad I saw this post...
I got my wii fit for Christmas and it says I weigh a lot less then the gym's scale does. We're talking a difference of 15ish pounds...

Anyone else get this?

I have the wii fit also and at first I loved it. But I've grown very bored with it and haven't touched it in at least 2 months. The boxing was my fav. and the hula hooping was fun too. They did make me sore at first. Over all it is worth it. I'm just one of those people that gets bored VERY fast and nothing holds my attention for long, lol.

I also have the Wii Fit and like Lilly, I got bored of it after a couple of months. I have since started using it again though and will be using it more now that my son and husband gave me Jillian Michaels Ultimatum 2009 which incorporates the Wii Fit board.

Are you using the Wii Fit on carpet? I know that throws off my regular scale, so I have to use it on the hardwood floors.

Yes...I am. Hmm I wonder if that's it then. Carpet seems to be a curse...it's definitely not friendly with my new puppy, it's that horrid light pink (We just got in to this new place and haven't funded redecorating yet) and now it's throwing my wii off. I think it's time to tell the hubby to rip it out with some new hardwood floors. :D

I just got one today...haven't hooked it up yet, but I am so excited to get to use it!

I got a Wii Fit last April on Amazon for $89. You might sign up to get alerts when it's back in stock. I also got the Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009 that uses the Wii Fit, but I haven't tried it yet (it hasn't gotten great reviews on Amazon). Although I don't have it, My Fitness Coach is getting great reviews (it came out in Dec.).

The cost of the Wii is $249 and then the Wii Fit is approx. $89 (depending on where you get it). Then if you want to get other programs to use with the board, the $36.99 and My Fitness Coach is currently selling for $27.99 on Amazon. If I had it to do over again, I would get the My Fitness Coach instead of the Jillian Michaels one...but, you don't need to get either of those really. The Wii Fit comes with a great program. :carrot:

I got my Wii Fit for Christmas too and I absolutely adore it! I've been putting in about 30 min. or more day on the program.

As for buying it, we got a great deal through target.com, it went on sale in Nov. with the Wii Fit bundle, the Wii, and a yoga mat/board carrying bag for a little over 300. In my opinion it's definitely worth it. I also got My Fitness Coach to go with it, I haven't tried it yet, but from what it says you don't need to have the balance board to work that one.

hey, i'm kinda new here, but i just tryed my wii fit today and i love it. it's so fun and it's a great way to track my weight. it's a lot more accurate than the scale in my brothers room. and all of the aerobics things are really fun to do and you can feel it if you do it long enough.

My wii fit weight is accurate on carpet - but read the instructions. There are extra feet that come with it that must be used if you put it on a carpeted surface.

We have had our Wii for a couple years, and just got the Wii Fit and Jillian Michaels game. I started out thinking that the Wii Fit was not much of a workout compared to all the DVD's I have been doing for the last year, but the more minutes you complete, the more challenging games open up, and they are tougher. I really like the step aerobics and the advanced step. The balance activities are fun, but I don't necessarily feel like I get much of a workout from them. I haven't gotten into the Jillian game much, but my friend and I noticed you have to do it for a while on the "Light activity" mode for it to unlock more difficult stuff. I also found Jillian much easier to do without using the Balance Board, even though it is compatible, you don't have to use it.

I love my Wii fit. The Wii was the family gift and the Wii fit was from my hubby to me. I was so thrilled he could find one! The Wii systems are about $300 here and the Wii fits are about $90. I will be getting the Personal Trainer game for my bday this month, but the workouts that came with the Fit are challenging enough for us right now. I love the fact that you take a body test each day and it tracks your progress. I also love that the more time you spend on it, the more workouts and activities you can unlock. The balance games don't seem like much at first, but I can definitely feel muscles I have not been used to using the next morning.

You will need a Wii console (usually comes with a disk of games, cost around $300), the Wii Fit (comes with the wii fit board and the wii fit disk-has the exercises on it, cost around $90,) and then you can look at other items if you want to. If you have a local Best Buy, head there to take a look and check the prices. Our Best Buy here beats the prices at even Walmart and Target. If you want get something that will challenge you more, you can get the My Personal Trainer disk costs around $30. All of the wii game disks look like dvds.

You can use it on carpet. The Wii fit does come with these little platforms that you attach to the bottom of it for using it on carpet.
