I use it! and I love it! the best investment we ever made towards our weight loss!

I too have it and really enjoy it. There are some who would say that it isn't much of a workout but I doubt they are doing the strength exercises if they are saying that. Besides strength all the aerobics workouts are great as well. The yoga is also effective, but I don't really do it much. It's like a much funner version of a personal trainer added with video games. And you get to create a cute little mii character who will cheer you on I'm sure. I've been doing it (strength mixed w/ aerobics circuit style) for about 45 mins a day and I am really noticing a difference in how my clothes fit. Only been doing it for about a week though, Still, very very fun.

I have had my wii fit for a few months, have unlocked most of the programs.
I still can't get over the fact that I don't like exercise.
I can no longer go to the gym, I live in the country now and gym membership is not an option....
I "think" I do better with others, for instance I go to yoga and pilates once a week each, I like the classes being led for me. But my schedule makes it difficult. I work on call and can't always get places for a booked class.
Enough with the excuses.
How do you motivate yourself to exercise and get it done. I can get on, but not stay on....
we have it all, a treadmill, a nordictrack skier, weights, wii fit, and a downhill ski exerciser. Variety is not a problem.
I can get on any machine, get started, but going for more than 15-20 minutes, its just too dull, I try to make myself keep going, but just can't.
Some ideas to get me doing something aerobic for more than 15 minutes?

I use my WiiFit not as often as I used to (I've gotten into some other exercises right now) but when I do, I used mostly the free step or free run. I like to play the games and do the strength exercises, but I feel that they are not as challenging for what I want to do.

I also do not like the constant returning to menu to change games or exercises. With the free run and step, I can change the channel back to the TV, and step/run until I can't anymore. I like that it can monitor my weight and my BMI for me.

I have, however, noticed a change in my posture just by using the balance test daily. It's amazing what just posture will do for your body and how it actually makes you look leaner just by standing correctly.

I do recommend it, but it's not worth the money for people who don't like silly games, who can't use it fairly regularly, and for those who have little time to exercise (because of the time it takes to turn the game on/off, go through the menus, etc).

Hmmn interesting. I think I will look into this one to check it out.

If you haven't sold it already you might want to check out My Fitness Coach, Gold's Gym, or the new EA Active. They're faster paced that Wii Fit.

The Wii Fit Plus is much better... you can do combined workouts where there isnt near the amount of talking.... I do agree with you that that can get trying... I have been burning about 750 calories in a little under an hour on mine...

WOW! What is your workout plan that does that for you? That is incredible!

I do alot of the advanced games and then the free run... I put it on in the Picture in Picture on my tv and then watch something else... I love the games... it does not even feel like I am working out... the hula hoop game is a blast.

Great job, Angel! I have the Wii Fit Plus and I love it. Yesterday I was finally able to spend some Santa money and bought a step bracket to go under the balance board at Best Buy. It raises the board about 3 inches off the ground making it more like the old school step benches. It is made by Everlast. I know I am a little more sore using the bracket. When I get a little bit more advanced, I will be buying a couple more. I love the snowball fight, island biking game and the obstacle course although I keep getting knocked off.

I just finished the first of two 15 minute workouts on my Wii. I was thinking about the Fit Plus, wondering if it was any good. I may have to into getting it.
