Re: Wii Fit?

[Guest guest]

I have a Wii, but don't have the Wii fit. I'm very competative with everything I

do. I feel like I get a decent upper/cardio workout when I'm playing some of the

regular games. Granted, I'm speaking of the sports games, not something like

Kart.

Wii Fit?

Hello all,

Question, does anyone have a Wii Fit? I was thinking of getting a gym

membership (for what little I could do there), when I thought about the Wii Fit.

I've head great things about it, also Wii itsself is very physical and if I can

get a work out and bust a sweat here at home, it will save on the gym

membership.

I heard though you have to enter your height and weight, which ofcourse, will

be an issue.

Does anyone have it?

My parent's have the Wii Fit, and to be honest, it's not much of a

workout (except for the hula hoop contest). But it is good for

balance and reflexes, as well as mental focus. Sort of like Tai Chi.

Good for seniors and less active people.

Best bet for dwarfs is a club or the Y where you can swim.

I bought one this year, and I love it...  I do get more of a workout with my

trainer and through swimming, but the Wii Fit gives me some great stretching and

balance movements.  It also tracks well, so I can go in and mark down what I

did and the time I put in.  I take Yoga through the local fitness center here,

what the Fit has offered is more instruction on the poses and my weight

transfer..  For example in Warrior One, I was putting too much weight to one

foot, it gave me tips on how to change that so I get more out of my Yoga classes

now too.  I enjoy mine!  Good Luck to you!

Thanks for the comments so far all!

 

I know swimming at the Y is the best, however, I really would not have time

during the week and honestly on the weekends, I wouldn't end up going. I'd be

paying for a membership I really didn't use. I did look into the swim exercize

arthritis classes at the Y and unfortunately they are all in the morning or at

5pm, both times I'm still at work.

 

Right now I sit at home, and I sit at work. Standing for a few minutes is an

issue sometimes, so I'm thinking right now just to get me standing up,

physically moving is what I'm looking for, something very low impact.  I guess

with my hip issue, standing on it the wrong way sends me on crutches for a

week.  I need to get my hip back in shape very gently while losing the pounds! 

 

Ames, you said the sports games get you sweating lol, which games are those??

I have one.....it's great!!! But just be prepared that it will tell

you that you are obese. Because of the height and weight and age

scenario. Don't worry. Just put in all the info. Follow it and do

it and it's better than going to the gym.

Hiya

We have the Nintendo Wii Sports game. And it really has us all moving

around the room. And I feel like I've had a real work-out after I've

played against someone who's equally as competitive.

I was considering getting the Wii Fit, but then I saw how much money

it is just for the basic package. I asked myself if it would be just

a 5 minute wonder, and if it was, that would be a lot of money

wasted.

That's when I thought of the idea of getting an exercise bike. I used

to love riding a bike, and I know that it would be something I would

do regularly (especially with my goal being the NY convention and

wanting to be back to my original fit self by the time that comes

around....lol).

The Wii fit is a great invention, but I think the buyer should know

if they have good self-discipline before they buy it, because

sometimes just the thought of having to unplug the TV, plug the Wii

in, put the disc in, set up the Fit board and all that, is enough to

make someone not want to do their work-out that day. That's why I

choose a bike that I can just easily hop onto without no second

thought....lol. Stick on some music, then away I'll go.

Just now trying to find a decent priced Bike Trainer. Thanks Bill and

Art for your responses by the way. I will be going with your

suggestions

I originally liked the sports game that comes with the Wii. It includes tennis

(the one I felt the most results with), bowling, baseball, etc. I got a new

sports game for christmas and it's game party 2. A few games on there requires

you to be pretty fast if you want to win against your opponent. I assume you get

out of it what you put in. If you're merely sitting on the couch, flicking your

wrist, then you're not going to feel much. If you stand up and really GET INTO

the games, then you'll feel something.
