 - Mii FitWe love our Wii Fit. Initially I wasn't very interested in getting one, it seemed like it wouldn't really provide much in the way of a workout. However, I was wrong and have been using this to augment other exercise routines. Yoga and balance in particular were areas I didn't address in my regular routine, but the Wii Fit made those interesting and fun. Rating: - Great workout for the non-gym personI am not a gym person. I get bored. But I love my Wii Fit because I wanted to incorporate some exercise into my life. First, it's fun. You start out with it taking your weight, balance and then you can choose from a lot of different types of exercises from yoga, strength, aerobics, etc. I like that I can as much or little as I feel like in a given day. There are some game-like things in here that are meant to improve your balance. The exercises range from pretty easy to a real workout. You can work with it to do as much or little as you'd like. You can pick a male or female trainer to work with. There's probably not a lot "new" here in terms of the exercises. The yoga moves, or strenth training are pretty much things I already know. But I like the way the board judges how well you're doing them. It knows if you're standing up straight, etc. I learned how off balanced I am. The cardio things are fun, there's a hula hoop workout and a running one that really gets my heart pumping. There's a lame step aerobic thing that's more like dance dance revolution. But the more you work with it, more activities unlock. I still have a lot still locked so I'm sure more fun stuff will come along. But overall, I think this is worth it, even if you only do it once in awhile. And the best part is that the scale has me about 3-4 pounds lower than I really am, so who can beat that! Rating:  - Not perfect but still coolIts nice to have video interactions that don't make you fatter. My only complaint is the your BMI on the game is calculated solely on height and weight. This works well for anyone under 12 but as muscle weighs more than fat the measurements become faulty. As I excercise more the game keeps telling me I am getting fatter becuse my weight is increasing but my overall percentage of body fat is decreasing. All and all its still worth having. Rating: - Wiiii while exercisingThis accessory for the Wiii is worth it. I was in a decision making situation about exercising. I had this for approximately a month before I opened it up. But after I set it up, which was very easy, I used it. The product let me know my BmI, my weight, and how long it would take me to get to my desired weight. You can pick your trainer, and you have company while you exercise. The Wii people keep you company, so you do not feel alone. I would recomend this to anyone. And please ENJOY. Rating: - Fun but not perfectI've had wii fit for approximately 2 months now and have "played it" regularly. I think the peripheral itself is fantastic and i am very impressed by its sensitivity to slight weight shifts. With that said I have a few gripes about the game itself. 1. going through multiple exercises in one sitting is tedious b/c of the navigation. after each exercise u have to go thru multiple A presses to get into the next exercise. u end up spending 25% of the time navigating thru the game instead of actually exercising. 2. the game suggests combinations of yoga and strength training exercises that focus on certain areas but does not allow u to automatically navigate to them. so you have to remember which exercises it suggests, navigate out and find that exercise... this goes along with issue #1. 3. some of the activities are really "lame" IMO. these include: running, free step & walking the tightrope. I have no interest in replaying these... Overall though, as a free game packaged with a great peripheral, it's much better than WiiPlay. The exercises are challenging and you will definitely work up a sweat (if you don't cheat). I just question how much I will be playing this since I've unlocked everything... but motivation to exercise is a separate problem...
