I have in my hot little hands!!

Well I just got it and it did call me fat (ok, not in those words and I am fat... LOL) So far though I am pretty impressed! A big selling point for me is that I get bored easily with working out and this have quite a different things to keep me busy and moving!!
 
Why aren't you on it then? Get to it girlie! LOL I won't be able to get one for a few months at least...
 
Did you smack it for calling you fat? LOL! My Biggest Loser girls are DYING for this. I don't have a Wii, but it sure sounds fun!
 
So dish for me. David wanted to get it and I was going to preorder it for him BUT then I was told at the game store when we went to buy Nathan's guitar hero that it was mostly yoga and such...my big galoot of a husband will not do yoga. Can you get a really good workout from it? If not we won't bother...we'll stick to the ridiculously expensive treadmill we bought this winter and the walking path by our house.
 
Yoga is just one of the parts of it! It also has balance games, aerobic games, muscle games (The game has about 40 different activities, including yoga poses, push ups, and other exercises.)

Here is a blurb fro wiki...

Activities

Training on Wii Fit is divided into four categories: aerobic, muscle workouts, yoga poses, and balance games. The activities provide a core workout, emphasising controlled movements rather than overexertion. Activities include:exercises, ranging from deep breathing to extended poses.



Yoga, Muscle workouts, including press-ups, sit-ups, and twists. Aerobic exercise., in two formats: fixed distance, and fixed time.
    • jogging
    • Step aerobics- Three types.
    • hula hoop- Basic and super.
    • Rhythm boxing - similar to step aerobics but including the Wii remote and nunchuk to throw punches.
  • Balance games
  • Ski Jumping
    • Ski and snowboard slaloms.
    • Heading footballs.
    • Table tilt - Where the player shifts their balance to get balls into holes.
    • tightrope tension - The player must cross a tightrope avoiding the snapjaws.
    • Balance Bubble - The player attempts to navigate down a river in a bubble without bursting it on the sides.
    • Penguin slide - The player has to catch fish whilst balanced on a piece of ice.
    • Zazen - The player must remain motionless whilst looking at a flame.
Some of the games allow the player to watch TV while getting instructions or rhythm through the Wii remote Speaker.
New activities can be unlocked by gaining 'Fit Cash', which is accumulated in a 'Piggy'. Each minute of Fit Cash is equal to the number of minutes doing an activity rather than the number of minutes of overall game play. At certain stages, new yoga poses or muscle workouts are unlocked based on the total time spent working out. Being the best at an activity with a 100% score, or playing an activity a certain number of times unlocks more rigorous versions of that activity.
 
Sounds like a blast! I'm so jealous of all you Wii owners. I've been trying for months to get my hands on one and I can't. They're just not available around here because of the high demand. :thumbdown:
 
Lol all these posts about the Wii make me want to get one, bug sigghhh!!!:mellow:
 
My teenage son was just telling me yesterday that we needed to get this. He thinks I might actually exercise if it fun -- plus the kids can get involved.

It hasn't released yet here in the States. I think I can preorder it from Amazon if I want.

Sounds like something I might enjoy. Might just have to get me one!! :D
 
Hey Eve,

What accessories does it come with? I was just reading up on it at amazon.com and it shows a balance board and a yoga mat. Does it come with both of these? Or do you have to purchase them separately? Is there anything that needs to be purchased separately? Or does it have everything bundled?

Mine came with the balance board, I am pretty sure that they all come bundled with that because you wouldn't be able to use it without the board. Not sure about the yoga mat, it's probably a buy separate thing, at least in my neck of the woods anyways! :)
 
holy canoli - my husband I were talking about this last night and thought maybe we should use some of our tax rebate and bite the bullet and get a Wii. Can't find one under $500!!! :blink:
 
The one on Amazon comes with the balance board but not the yoga mat. You might want to shop around for the mat. Its just a standard yoga mat, no special Wii-ness to it. :) You might not even need it if you have carpeted floors. I've seen similar mats for $12-15 at Target. The silicone cover sleeve for the board is not included either.

I just checked Amazon & apparently they have sold out of their pre-order stock amount & they are only letting people sign up to be emailed when they get more, instead of letting them pre-order.
