The wii for makes exercising fun and keeps track of your progress very awesome !
I really enjoyed this product. The balance board is well built and can hold around 300 pounds. The exercises are fun and I really enjoyed the mini games. It tracks your progress overtime, which is pretty cool. It has a built in scale, which isn't exactly accurate, but it's relatively close. There are a handful of other Wii games that incorporate the Balance board (some fitness and some other), so if you're bored with the disk, you can switch it up and still be up and active.
The Wii fit is a great game to get you in shape even tough you don t go outside your home. You can do some aerobics, some yoga and others exercises.
you have someone that tells you if you do it right or not.
it's a good way to do exercises with your family.
I was REALLY excited to try this product when I first bought it. There are a lot of activities (including jogging, hula hooping, yoga, and strength training exercises), plus a points system to unlock new ones. The scale gives you extra motivation, requiring you to set goals and graphing your weight over time. It even tests your balances and provides a pin system just in case you don't want EVERYONE knowing how much you weigh.
So...I shouldn't get bored, right? But I did. The "fitness instructors" are really mechanical, and even with different levels, poses and games being unlocked, I found them less and less entertaining as time went on. The weight tracking feature was nice, but I use it so little that the graphing feature doesn't show my loss/gain over time.
A fun novelty item, good as an exercise supplement, but...not a full time product unless you can force yourself to stick with boring, repetative activities.
While this will never replace my gym membership, I very much enjoy my Wii Fit. I use it on days where I don't really feel like exercising, but want to move a bit.
The balance games are fun and I like the yoga.
I wouldn't expect to loose weight from using the wii fit, but I think it's a fun add on to a fitness routine. Just be prepared for your Mii to look a bit tubby if your weight flucuates.
It's a great price when comparing to the cost of a gym membership/home gym/personal training/etc
There's a pretty good variety of excercises and a neat system of unlocking more the more you do and the better you do it
It's wonderful for balance. If you have balance issues (and most people do) this can make a BIG difference in your stability, but don't expect it to make a big difference to your waistline.
The biggest problem with it is that you can't create excercise programs. It'll take you 45 minutes to go through a 30 minute routine which means you're doing WAY too much resting.
It's best seen as a wonderul part of an overall excercise routine, because no trainer can improve your balance as much as the Fit.
