Great rainy weather exercise

Although I love to get outside and exercise by running, hiking, biking... this is a great way to get a little sweat going during the rainy days of the week, or when it's too dark outside. It is also a fun way to encourage my non-outdoorsy friends to stay in shape. With the multiple levels of activities, I'm happy to say that I can also break a sweat. Definitely worth the expense!

Good motivation tool for video gamer

I haven't exercised since a back injury 4 years ago. I have been using Wii Fit for three weeks now. The yoga has helped stretch my back and neck. I am exercising every day. This being a video game helps motivate me to continue and to get better at the exercises.

This is the type of training module I would expect in a gym, so it is great to have at home. I need a trainer to show me the specific movements. I don't know what exercises to do by myself. This shows me.

So this is great for the physically illiterate. It could be a great tool in additional to regular workouts for normal gym-goers.

Highly recommneded. The balance games are fun.

Fun way to excerise

Easy way to get you up and moving. Only thing is you have to do each exercise indidvidually you can not create a routine.

We have had this for only a few days but already we are "running" together and taking turns to do push-ups. Yes right now the whole game is novelty but the concept is fantastic. The balance board is very touchy and I would recomend you wear tennis shoes as it helps you balance. You can't do a lunge wrong because the board will show you exactly where your center of balance is and where it should be. So, it really makes it hard to cheat on exercises. There is a tremendous amount of variety from running on the sand to hula hooping to yoga. I am a teacher and this is very convenient to do what I want, when I want. The only problem is the wii's frame of reference when it comes to weight. It does not know that you may be most muscle and claims you are overweight. It only takes in your weight and height. It says that most people are overweight and that is tough to swollow but, once we all got past that, we were all ready to play. The comments from the Wii trainer are monotonous at best but we overlook it and make fun of it to make it bearable in our house. It is not meant to replace your already planned workouts but this is great fun. I recommend it highly.

Great start, but can get old fast

I really like this product. I got it for my husband's birthday, and it was fun to have each of us in the family take the fitness test. Unfortunately, I'm the only one using it at the moment. I have done yoga in the past, and like the yoga option, but it gets tedious since you have to select each pose. It would be nice to be able to string poses together to make custom yoga workouts. Ditto for strength training. I love the balance games, and even if that is all you use it for you are bound to be helping yourself in the long run. The aerobics is a little lame, but if you aren't that active it is good. Again, it would be nice to customize and vary your routine. You can also do some of them while you watch TV, and listen to the Wiimote tell you what to do. My favorite is the monitoring of your weight and balance. Even if you do other things to work out and are watching what you eat, you can use that part as a tool to track how you are doing. Overall, I like this product, but I hope they come out with more options to customize to help those that use it regularly.

Also, it is annoying that Wii is never in stock. What's up with that?

GREAT!

Amazing! It makes me want to work out and it doesn't seem like I'm working out. I LOVE IT!

A LOT of fun, with a couple of areas for improvement

I LOVE my Wii Fit. I can't stand exercise - walking is boring, and I'm not willing to pay for a gym membership I know I won't use. For me, then, the Wii Fit is perfect. It's convenient and I actually enjoy it! There are some times when I think "I'll just hop on for 10 minutes, I don't feel like exercising" and before I know it I've done half an hour because I'm having too much fun to stop.

I love the fact that it keeps track of all your scores. If I do badly in an exercise, I'll almost always go back and try it again to try to get a high score. I guess it's strange to be competitive against yourself, but that's what I'm doing with it!

As other people have said, there are downsides to the game, too. The only one that really bothers me is the amount of clicks you have to make to complete a workout. I'd love to be able to put together various 10-minute exercise programs to get an effective workout without having to keep sorting through menus. It would be good, also, to be able to do (for example) an 'arm muscle workout' rather than having to go through the menus trying to remember which exercises are the best for certain areas.

Also, if you're super-fit already this won't really make much of a difference for you. For the people like me, who don't do much exercise at all and need a kick-start to tone up and get moving, it's perfect. Can't wait till I hit my weight loss goal!

Love this! Fun and a good workout!

This is a great way to get back into shape or just continue a good workout no matter what level of fitness you are. I can push myself if I want to or just work out at a comfortable pace. Most advertising I have seen says it comes with 3 pairs of socks, but it really only comes with 1 pair. Everything else included is there.

Nice to have something that really works and I can put in the corner when not in use. Highly recommended!

Fun...even when you don't like exercise!

This is the best, by far, for keeping me entertained while exercising...it is fun and competitive for yourself and with others! Love the Fit Body Age and tests and privacy to keep that to yourself!
