wii will get you fit!

[raum]

lost 2 lbs with wii-fit already, and had fun doing it!

That's the real review.

As an office jockey, with long hours and little breaks, I totally dig this. I don't play it much, just about 1.5 hours a day, but I have fun doing it, and even repetitive exercises have a bit of skill and challenge. And if you are like me, getting on a piece of equipment has to stimulate the mind as well as the body.

BUT I hear what is the big deal with it. Why not just exercise? The key is BALANCE!

It coordinates your balance to the most accurate degree, and that is a BIG key to health.

Also, you can not lie to this scale. If you are doing push-ups you use your dominant arm more... this REGISTERS it, and tells you. If you are doing lunges and favoring your strong leg, it sets you straight. and there is a bunch of stuff to do on the disk that comes with it.

It costs 90 dollars, but consider:
1 50 dollar game (standard for the current consoles)
1 40 dollar controller (standard as well)

and the REAL games for this are gonna rock. BTW the balance board is bluetooth as well, so with glovepie, you can use it with a bluetooth enables computer. I am sure this will be used in other games to good effect.

I love my wii - and we are likely to pick up the wii fit later this year...
...but i have to laugh when i think about it because of the parody commercial on youtube.

I can't get a link now while i am at work, but I'm sure someone here will find it....

Ok, 6 miles in the morning is a brisk 30 minute jog.

I lost eight pounds, and almost down to idea BMI for a American (30) and still have 2 weeks to go to meet my target. I have not done more than an hour any given day, and have only missed one day's training, and walked about 5 miles (down the road and back) that day instead because it was so beautiful out (looked like it was gonna rain).

Still lovin this and between my psp, DS lite, and my wii aint touched my 360 in almost a month.

15 lbs lighter and almost there! woot!

Shit man, I can't really tell...! I think I'm just getting bigger all the way around...I still do 100-120 push ups every day, still able to benchpress my weight, thing is, I think the heavier I get the stronger I get, the bigger I get, lol...As long as I can see my cock when I sit down, I have to think I'm still OK, lol...
