 - Great workout, lots of funI purchased my Wii Fit a week ago. I read several reviews prior to the purchase. So far I could not be happier with the Wii Fit. I have been able to get some great workouts from what I have tried to far. The balance games and Hula Hoop are my favorites thus far. I had read that people wished they could program a workout and be able to repeat it. I agree it would be nice to have the ability to create personilized workouts that are not interuppted, but for now I need a few seconds to catch my breath. I am finding that my husband is getting into the Fit as well. We are actually becoming quite competitive about the balance games and where we place. It gives us more of an incentive to workout and try and beat each other. Rating:  - I bought this because someone told me to...I own a Wii so I buy everything that people tell me is fun, so I bought this and like everything else I've bought for the Wii it wasn't actually fun but it makes me feel cool to tell people how fun it is. I also like to defend the Wii and Nintendo as they are a very poor and downtrodden company, the real UNDERDOG of videogames. Rating:  - Even a couch potato can love this!I love the Wii Fit, which I've had for about a month. I do still force myself to go to the gym for 45 -60 minutes of cardio at least 3 days a week, have been for a couple of years now, but I hate it. I bought the Wii Fit to try the strength and yoga programs. However, my kids and I (ages 43 and 8 & 9)discovered the balance games first, and we're addicted. I've never been able to make myself do more than a week or so of abdominal exercises, but with these balance games, I have finally started to see results! I am a working mother with kids involved in time consuming activities, so I hit the Wii promising I'll do 10 minutes and so far, I've never been able to stop under 20 minutes, usually I get to 30 minutes. The ski jump and slalom, the table tilt, the bubble and tightrope are all so much fun. Then I unlocked the penguin-I am an educated woman, never thought I would be motivated by disappointing my mii, but when my penguin-suited mii looks dejectedly at the snow, well, it makes me want to try again-and again. I take the Wii Fit tips seriously, have changed the way I walk accordingly, and between this improvement in my posture and the strengthening of my core muscles, my back pains have been all but eliminated (OK, occasionally I sleep wrong requiring an advil, but no longer the all day ache). I am thrilled with this purchase! UNFORTUNATELY, my Wii system had a malfunction, and I am forced to ship the actual Wii to the factory for repair. I am really missing my workout, way more than my kids (who are truly more upset about not having Guitar Hero and Lego's Batman to play than the Wii Fit). I can't wait to get back on track. Rating: - Wii FitI won't go over the Wii Fit functions as they have been covered. I will say I am a soon to be 56 year old who is moderately fit. I love the Wii Fit it does challenge me, I have now logged over 60 days and feel great. Rating:  - Flawed but funThe Wii fit balance games are fun, but most of the exercises aren't very useful (unless you're very out of shape) also many of the exercises like sit ups or running will penalize you for things out of your control... (like for example not putting your feet on the wii board evenly when returning your feet from a crunch) as an exercise machine- kinda crap as a game- quiet fun - not as good as wii sports... but hoping more games will use it otherwise kinda a was of $$$s
