How Fit is Wii Fit?

i just got the wii fit yesterday, but so far, i think it's great! i'm not one for exercise at all, so this makes it fun! and my whole family can use it too. if we all went to the gym, i couldn't even imagine what that would cost. it might not be exercise enough for "fit" people, but for people like me, it's perfect.

I actually enjoy the Wii Fit. While I would not replace a well balanced diet and proper exercise, it does a great job replacing home exercise machines.

Wii Fit is fun. It's definitely not the sole way to lose weight but it's definitely a great way to get people moving and interested in exercise and having an active lifestyle.

I don't know what I think of it being used as a method of encouraging fitness and healthy lifestyles.. I don't think that kids need any more incentive to play video games. However, I've heard that it's a really effective way to rehabilitate people with injuries, because of the smaller, low impact, movements.

I've had the Wii Fit for a couple days now and it's a lot of fun.  I agree that it wouldn't be the ultimate answer to getting in shape, but I think it could be a great supplement to a healthy diet and moderate exercise in general.  I will be blogging about my experiences with the Wii Fit at http://www.wiifittest.com over the coming months to see what sort of results I can achieve. My goal is to tone and strengthen my muscles and improve my balance and flexibility, something I believe the Wii Fit will be able to help with.  Thanks for using my photos, btw!

I've had my Wii & Wii Fit for 2 weeks now, and I love it. In 13
days of owning it, I think I've missed 2 or 3 days. I have a gym
membership I rarely use and a personal trainer I tend to avoid, but the
Wii Fit is really entertaining and motivating, I really do look forward
to playing. I'm already noticing some changes, such as my balance and
posture are improving and I'm getting better at some the more
challenging activities. 

It's no substitute for a real fitness
program, but I think it's a great way to get people moving and
interested in their fitness. The game does encourage players to eat
sensibly and to get involved in other activities, even allowing you to
enter in data about how long you spend doing other physical activities
outside of the game

I do worry that as I improve at each of
the activities that too soon the game will not offer enough of a
challenge - maybe then there will be Wii Fit 2 - Advanced?

Users
need to keep in mind that this is a general game for entertainment, not
a piece of medical equipment. BMI is a very basic general guideline and
is not meaningful for many people, especially children/teens/athletes.
Likewise the Wii Fit Age is just a number to give you a rough estimate
of how you're progressing. In the 2 weeks  13 days I've  been using Wii
Fit, I started at 53 years and have been down to 29 and many places in
between. This number is really just telling you how adept you were at
the fitness tests on that day, as opposed to giving you any meaningful
information about your level of fitness.

As I said above, I love
my Wii Fit, I just think people should not take the game too seriously
or as being something more than what it is. I work in the health
industry, and I would not hesitate to recommend Wii Fit, especially to
anyone who wants to improve their posture and balance.

Wii Fit is so popular here in Japan. Glad to know that it is now sold in US market. Ski jump is so cool game to play and to reduce your weight.

Wii Fit is nothing but positive.  Sure, it'll never be an all inclusive workout, and it'll never replace running your ass around the block a few times, but it helps motivate people.  Making things into a game is fun... and if that helps someone get the ball rolling, then it's worth every penny.

Wii Fit is just a game that you can exercise like in a gym. It falls under Exergaming because the game was influenced by "Mario creator" Shigeru Miyamoto's Daily Life. As Shown Here I got 2 Wii Fits because If one balance board breaks or my game doesn't Work then I could use the other one.

I gotten this Wii Fit after few days of releases in Singapore. Loving the fitness and ultimate game is damn challenging! It really work my whole body. The creator and designer are way too clever because of interacting the movement on board to the wii console. Awesome!

I shall take out my Wii Fit and play around later on! Two thumbs up!

Still in the box untouched.
Heavy piece of kit.
Will keep you fit if you have to walk 20 yards with it.

Wii fit could help people stay healthy and entertain them at the same time.  Watching tv makes people lazy but if you can interact with it while being active then its great!  Nintendo Wii is a wonderful console.  I also found many downloads for my Wii at this site Wii Downloads

To be frank, i was not certain buying a wii console and wii fit game would do anything for my heath. nintendo know whats what. much to my surpise i'm percieved as the video games girl at work now. i bought them both after much reading around the web, both sites provide just what i was looking for. discounts and finding both in stock.
