I've been disappointed by this product. I thought it would give me a great workout and make me want to exercise daily, but in two-minute segments, i really don't even work up a sweat. The most vigorous exercise is the walking and running. On the good side, my kids think it's fun so it keeps them active...

The Wii Fit game and the bored that goes with it is a lot of fun for young and old alike

Posted on Jan 21, 2011

I received my Wii Fit as a Christmas gift from my kids. I had been looking at it for sometime and was so excited to get it. The activities are great, my kids love the soccer and hola hoop! I have three young kids so getting to the gym is very hard for me. The Wii Fit gives me the chance to workout with the guidance of a "trainer". I love the fact that it lets you know when you aren't doing the move correct so that you can adjust to get the best workout. When I say workout I mean it, I was sore for two weeks after I started. There were a couple of days that my legs and hips were so sore it hurt...

A fun way to play!

I love the Wii Fit and Balance Board. I have been able to lose 50lb using my Wii Fit. I can track the time I spend working out. I can also track my progress.  The Yoga is fatastic and I love that I can jog inside even when it is rainy and cold outside! I don't have a lot of room for a home gym and I have never been a fan of video workouts but I love the Wii Fit. It has been a fitness plan I have been able to stick with! The balance games are, for me, a fun treat after my workout! I start every morning with a Wii Fit workout!

We love the Wii fit and board in our house.  I love that once you've done all the intro step sections you can then do it while watching tv and it'll still count your steps and tell you how many calories you've burned.  It's a video game that can get your heart rate up.  I highly recommend it for someone who just had a child and needs to start exercising again - for someone who is just beginning to exercise - for someone who wants to exercise but doesn't take it too seriously.  I also like that it keeps track of your weight and you can put in a goal that you'd like to accomplish.  My favorites...

I love my Wii Fit Balance board! It is needed to play some of the Wii Fit games. This board helps you to be even more interactive with the games. And the best part of the board is you have to stand up to use it! That means, no more sitting down and getting ft while you play vieo games! The board is high quality. mine has been dropped many times and is still intact! The batteries last a while too! Overall, this is a great way to have fun and is made to be a quality product!

AMAZING!

I recently bought this for my friend's son. He absolutely loves it! (And me!) It is a really great price and it was just as I had expected. I also love playing this too. I would recommend this to anyone of all sorts of ages. It is fun and a relaxing thing to do.

Fun for a while

I used this thing a lot right after I got it but then the excersises got to be just like excersise and no longer fun.  I bet that It could be an excellent workout if I actually stuck with it but who has the time?  Still fun to play once in a while but definately not an everyday routine.  Also had some problems with pairing it with my wii.  Seems like it would need to be paired every 3rd use or so.  This isn't a challenging thing to do but I would like to think that it would have a longer memory or whatever it has.

I got this because I wanted to get something that the entire family would like to play.  When I got this, there really wasn't much to go along with it, but in recent months, there have been a few new games to come out. The only thing I did not like about it is when it changed my Mii to be a little bit out of shape by expanding my waist line.  I guess they want me to get motivated somehow.

The Balance Board and Wii Fit are amazing.  I waiting a long time to finally purchase the Balance Board and I must say it was well worth it.  Being a child of the 70's and having had an Intellivision and the very first Nintendo...I was completely overwelmed by the technology of the Wii System.  If you are serious about getting into shape and want to have fun doing it....this is for you.

My sister got this for my nephews for Christmas. The whole family fell in love with it and made me decide to get a Wii (had been trying to decide which system). My problem now is THEY ARE VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!!

I am a heavy person (270 lbs), but the balance board had no trouble accommodating me.  It is able to tell where you are shifting your weight (forward, back, left, right).  It was really fun to use with wii fit.  You should also buy a skin to put on it for easy cleaning.
