Wii Fit

OMG. It's freaking awesome. I'm not scared of "step aerobics"!! Although, the hula hoop thing is slightly challenging for over 3 minutes.

Anyway, yes. It rocks.

I'm dying to get this! Actually I have to save up to get a wii first LOL, but thanks for letting us know...

Is there additional exercises you can add to it or does it come with them all..and which ones does it come with?

[Lyssie]

It currently comes with a CD that has Yoga, Aerobics, Strength Training and Balance activities. The more activities that you do, the more exercises/activities are unlocked.

There is a game you can buy - Wii Ski that you can use with the balance board (you pretend to ski/snowboard). They should be releasing a new game that is DDR with the board (instead of the mat), that will be like the step aerobics that are currently available. I'm hoping it'll give a much longer version since as much as I can tell (I have most things unlocked), the longest the step goes for is 6 minutes.

This is my number one new obsession. I actually, quite arrogantly, thought it would never give me the fitness level of my usual routines. I stand corrected. I love, love, love it. My husband is the last person ever to do any kind of exercise and for the first time since I've known him, he will get off his butt and join in. The only problem is I can spend at least two to three hours a day between the Wii Fit and the Wii sports - no time for anything else. BTW it has taught me how rubbish I am at the balance stuff. Wish I'd bought shares in Ninetendo now as I really think this is going to take off in a big way, if you can afford it. However I actually think it's better than a gym membership.

I am so jealous! I've been trying to find one in my area and online for the past 2 weeks! Where did you get yours?

[Lyssie]

I actually bought mine the first day they were out (we left work to go get them) and have been told they basically sell out as soon as they're in the store. I'm pretty sure there are websites that take pre-orders but I don't remember off the top of my head. They have them at Target, WalMart, BestBuy, CircuitCity, GameStop.

OMG!! I want one of these so bad!!! How expensive is it, if that isn't too rude to ask. I wanted to buy a Wii at Walmart a month ago, and they are sold out. Thank you for letting us know how great it is!!

[Lyssie]

I think they're about $90. I seriously went to Circuit City because while they were sold out everywhere else, they were still available there.

[Lisa]

Lyssie, where can you buy a wii for $90??!! They're about $250-300 around here....or were you talking about the game?

We're saving up for one, too...we got hooked on the bowling at a party we went to. It's a great social toy, too!

A Wii Fit is 90$, a Wii is like, $250.
