Wii Fit - I finally got one!

[sadie147]

Took me 2 months of going weekly to Future Shop and Best Buy (they still sell out the day they come in) and finally I got my hands on one!

I just did a 45 minute workout and it's pretty good, and alot of fun...

Anyone else have any thoughts on it? This was my first day so I only managed to unlock a few exercises, And learned my balance isn't what I thought it was!

for anyone that already has a Wii and is looking for something different and fun for a workout from what I can see so for I recommend it!

Congrats!
I gave up on the daily search for a Wii fit. The people at Wal-Mart Electronics see me coming and just shake their head "nothing in stock"...yes, I've already stopped asking. LOL. I told the kids that one day it won't be the most desired object on earth and then and only then will we buy one. I absolutely refuse to pay quadruple the price to order one on line from eBay or whoever else has one!
I'm so jealous that you found one! Enjoy it!

It will be worth the wait I think! even your kids will love it. My 16 yr old stepdaughter and I have a little competition going with the various exercises ...she loves it as much as I do.

I've been looking for other games that incorporate the balance board and so far there's only We Ski. Though I did see there are several that are coming out in Oct/November. Including one that is an exercise/cardio game created/hosted by the female trainer (Jillian someone?) from the Biggest loser. I'm really looking foward to that.

Do you have a Best Buy/Future shop in your area? If so, ask them what day they come in normally. This is how I lucked out..I found out if they come in, it will be on a Friday..so I kept my eye on their website on Friday mornings, and when I saw them in stock I did a store locator and found a nearby store with some in stock.

Hi! I have one and I am addicted. I think the piggy bank and the fact that the more you do unlocks more exercises keeps you hooked!

Although fun, it is really hard work and I always feel I have done a proper work out!

I have created a group of Miis as the characters of Veronica Mars (my favourite all time tv show) and they appear in the exercises, especially the jogging and that really keeps me motivated!

I love the "ouch" when you first step on the board!

Good luck!

Haven't got the chance to play wii fit yet but i do have a blast using the exercise mode in ddr2 for the wii.

I got mine the first day they were released, and I'm ashamed to say it has been quite awhile since I've been on it. I promise I will tomorrow. Maybe we should start up a Wii challenge or something.

For those trying to get one, have you tried to order one on WalMart.com? That is how I bought mine and it was shipped so that I received it release day. Maybe you can order and have it backordered? Then it would ship when they came in. Not sure if they do it that way, but might be worth a try.

I have a Wii fit and I think it would be a great idea to do a Wii fit challange...Does anyone want to do it???
My son loves our Wii fit and he is 6 So i thinnk it is well worth the money.

me and my boyfriend are saving up for one. i'm so excited.
i havent exercised in ages.and have been finding it tough to find the will power. but i really think the Wii will be different.

for those of you who said you cant find any in shops...why not buy off ebay?? thats what we're gonna do

Hi guys we have had our wii fit since Christmas and I love it! I mainly do the aerobic section and im adicted to step and boxing. The yoga is good too and DH and i have a running challenge as to who can get the best score on the head the ball lol. I ordered ours from amazon and it was no more expensive. Well worth the money!

I love our Wii Fit too! I love the Advanced Step and the balance games. I also do some of the strength training and yoga exercises. I try to "play" for 30 minutes. The Fit Bank has become a motivator for me.
