I want one, but I can't afford it right now darn it:mad:

Does the voice in the rhythm boxing remind you of anyone? It seems very familiar to me, but I cannot place it.

Work on your timing for perfect hits. The starburst will be double brightness. They count for double points, and will help you get a higher score :)
1200 will get you 4 stars and the top rating :)

Love the Wii Fit.... my kids actually love it too... They have tons of games, but they love the little balance games. So I do most of my time on it while they're at school, and let each of them have 10 mins or so in the evening after homework to play balance games. I just love the Wii in general... I was so against having a game system while the kids are so young, but they love it, and it has been a real incentive to keep rooms clean, etc... and we got enough wiimotes for all 4 of us, so we can even get 4 player games going... The wii sports will give you a workout too, when you're playing tennis or boxing with a 5, 7, or 9 year old.

1200??!! LOL, I've not gotten past 275, I don't think.....so no wonder the trainer is telling me I can do better next time. I did both the beginner and advanced last night (I'm horrible at the advanced, too) and my arms & back are sore today!

I have one as well. I wish I could track my other exercise on it too. My prob is I hate most exercise. I like yoga and pilates, and do the strength training too, but aerobics is dull for me. I get on my nordictrack and do the "free-run" and can watch tv while I do that, but am finding it dull.
But I find all aerobics dull, no blame to the wii, it helps a bit if anything.

You can.

You can track your other activity through the graph icon on the front page. Select your fit credits, click on activity and you can choose between light, normal and hard activity and then enter the number of minutes you spent. Then your graphs will include a gray bar showing your "non-WII Fit" activity.

I just bought mine about a week ago and spend about 45-60 minutes on it every day. I absolutely love it. I bought the Jillian Michaels game and omg, what a work out. It took me awhile to figure out how to operate my avatar, but once I did, wow. I highly recommend the game. I like to do 30 mins on the Jillian Michaels game and at least 30 on the wii fit game.

mnl, you're one of the few people that I've heard say positive things about Jillian Michael's game. What do you like about it?

I've been playing wii fit for about a month and a half. I'm trying to add some ddr into the mix, but I'm not always in the mood to play it. When I have played I can go for 2-2 1/2 hours without even noticing the time. I like to play the games and enjoy them. I don't look at the clock or try to figure out how much I've done because that takes the fun out of it for me.

OK sorry was away for a bit.

Boxing: I don't recall what I used to unlock it. Oh an make sure you are hitting the bag when the rhythm calls for you to. I can't remember but I love it! Oh here is a cheat sheet that tells you:

Running: I had a issue with it and making sure I wasn't running ahead of the Mii. Try that maybe?

Free Step: Bores me. LOL I will be using it tomorrow again though and just watch a good program!

I've not been on it in a week so I must get on it again tomorrow. We went to Vegas and I walked a zillion miles but my sister's wedding is in 2 weeks and I want to tone my arms up again. Maybe a rousing game of bowling or tennis after!

I just bought a Wii fit tonight, it should be coming in sometime next week and I can't wait to get started with it! I think it will be an excellent addition to my daily routine.

Zoo, you will have so much fun!! I am going to hop on now!

I like that it gives you a reaqlly good workout and that it's a CONTINUOUS workout, unlike the wiii fit, which you have to stop and start. Don't get me wrong the wii fit is so much fun, but with the JM game, you have to really work hard to get your avatar to move, so in turn you're getting a great workout, one that you can FEEL the next day, lol.

Just checking to see where all the chicks on the WII Fit kick went....are you still doing it? Making any progress?

I am trying to get on it every other day. My coordination is getting better, but some of those yoga poses are still kicking my butt. I cannot do the tree pose very well at all!
