Nintendo Wii Fit

[sorcer3ss (RETIRED)]

I organised the family to buy me a treadmill for Christmas this year, but my son msgd me today to ask if I would like a Wii Fit instead, I was hesitant at first but then thought about the advantages of the smaller size in my lounge room so am going to give it a go. I just wondered if anyone else has one or has used one who could give me their thoughts on it.

I have one, it is great if I can motivate myself. If you can get yourself motivated it does not matter what you use, if you cant at least this one will hide well, lol
Its a hack of a lot cheaper than a treadmill too!

 

[sorcer3ss (RETIRED)]

Thanks for that Judy, yeah I got a small lounge and that's the only spot to put a treadmill and it would be in the way terribly.

i have one too, i've had it about 2 years now. i used it alot for a while but then i got pregnant and quit using it because it would yell at me for gaining weight..lol. it's not like i could explain why, lol, so i just stopped using it so it wouldn't depress me hmmr

We bought a wii when they first came out. I loved the bowling game. We gave it to my sister in law when she came to visit us but my husband just bought another one from his friend. I am in the same boat about the wii fit. I am gonna buy it and try it at least I will let you know if I have good results. Wish me luck, I want to lose at least 25 pounds.

 

[judyb57]

They are great if you can keep motivated, but that is true with anything!

We have one but got the sports package instead. Love the tennis and bowling lol, but haven't done it in forever. Mom's nursing home used the bowling one for therapy

One year we adopted an older dog, I started walking her one block a day, in all weather, to help her adjust. Within 4 months I'd lost 25 pounds, without changing anything else. A dog stares at you till you get the leash out lol, and it's a living guilt reminder.... I've learned to ignore the current one, but would be better off to take her everyday too....

 

[judyb57]

Yes, the bowling and other sports are awesome too. I have a bunch of those games. They are a blast.

Well Paul bought his with him for the weekend for me to try, well after doing the fitness bit first I was so depressed, would you believe my wii age was 75!!!!! Anyway after switching it off for a bit I went back and started the exercises only lasted 5 mins - my back was starting to hurt plus everything else. I think it will be okay but as you all say you have to keep motivated, but boy is it going to be a long haul!

I got a wii when I hit the progressive 2 years ago. Bought a bunch of games. After 6 months I sold it. I didn't like it at all. Apparently I have lost my coordination. I just couldn't handle having to use both hands independantly to play games! Bring me a Nintendo and I'll game my azz off, tho!

 

[watsonleigh]

took me some time to get used to playing with both hands but after playing resident evil and zelda i was well used to it as for the wii fit bit the boxing was my fav

 

[sorcer3ss (RETIRED)]

Yeah Paul was telling me about the boxing, we decided that I better stay away from that one since I have a broken rib
