Wii Fit - Wii Fit exercises

I got one for Valentine's day

jadielady — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 10:48:53 -0800

And Love it!!! My only problem is I'm such an achievement nut that I overworked myself the first day because I wanted to unlock more things.

I also love it because, I'm assuming that the scale should be very accurate? My scale that I've been using weighs me at 8 lbs more than the scale in the Wii Fit!

Video game fun excersize

Scottsfire — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 18:46:45 -0800

I think the success of this program is that it makes excersize fun. Also, you find yourself forgeting the person leading you is not real. The leaders actually motivate me. Sure beats sitting on the couch with a bag of chips watching Jerry.

Ha,

I do all the yoga, a couple of strength and 2 balance. I have to say that I wish that I could do these exercises all the way through without so much feedback on each and so much stopping to select the next exercise. Maybe a yoga routine will come as a set option in the next upgrade. I love the tool, but wish I could go faster through the work-out. I think if I were using it just 1 or 2 times each week the feedback would feel good. Yet, using it more often....The program is working!

I have started exercising more with my Wii Fit. I wish that another member of the family could do it at the same time. I see on the remote that it has an A AND B or something like that...can I buy another board and two people do it? If so, how much is a board?

I have to say that the space between exercises really slows down the workout...does anyone use favorites as a way to go faster...I wish they would do several exercises in a row and then do the feedback..for speeds sake.

Anyway, the thing really works, I get a great work-out!

Anyway, anyone here who's created workouts for their Wii exercising?

anthelios77 — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 05:44:32 -0800

Yea I just love exercising on the Wii. Both Wii Sport and Wii Fit. The latest thing going on in this household is Helix. It's a small downloadable game but it is simply great for getting an upper aerobic workout. Here's a short blogpost about the game:

Best Christmas gift EVER

damonT — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 16:14:44 -0800

The grandparents bought the kids a Wii Fit for Christmas and I have to say it is probably the best Christmas gift this family has ever received. Both kids are already active with afterschool athletics, but tend to become couch potatoes when they get home. This has kept them moving and gotten me off the couch as well!!!

Good luck!

Good luck on finding your wii fit, it's really fun. It gave me a difference in my lifestyle since I both study and work from hom eat my computer and I don't excersise much.. This one is great to at least get me moving some!

And the motivation you get from trying to break others records, man I better try to break my boyfriends huula hoop record!! =P

I just bought a Wii on Black Friday (I was lucky to find one) BUT I couldnot find a Wii Fit! All sold out! I am on the search...I can't wait to buy one! So far I've been boxing on Wii sports and playing Tennis!

Stepping good for those work-from-home days

I've had a couple of times where I've been on long conference calls where I'm just mostly listening rather than actively talking or presenting, and I'll turn on the "Free Step" game and just do that while I'm on the phone. Nice way to multi-task and burn some calories while I would normally be sitting on my butt :)

Gateway Drug for Exercise

skylarlinden — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 08:49:29 -0800

I call the Wii Fit my "gateway drug" for exercise, because it gets you up and moving but it barely seems like a change in routine to do the half-hour a day that's recommended. What finally got me into further exercise was my intense loathing of running in place...I liked getting my heart rate up, but I couldn't stand running without going anywhere! Although the one time I got to chase the onscreen puppy was neat. Now I walk in the park for an average of four miles a day, and I usually do some yoga or strength training on the Wii Fit afterwards. I've become so used to this daily exercise that went through a bit of withdrawal when my friend borrowed it for a week!

AWESOME..

clyde78 — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 19:08:36 -0700

The wi fit is genious.. If you follow the trainer and go the speed they do it really kicks your butt. Running is my favorite and all the balance exercises.. I highly suggest getting a wii fit..

Rhythm Boxing

Ed Tan — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 16:39:28 -0700

Has anyone tried it?

zebra — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 04:18:35 -0700

Yes, I think it does work. I don't have a lot of time for classes or a gym, so this is a good way for me to get a regular short workout which includes different types of exercise. Obviously doing six or eight yoga poses isn't going to be the same as going to a yoga class, but it's much better than no yoga at all, which is what I was doing before Wii Fit!

Does it really work?

whs_carr91 — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 16:14:15 -0700

I am suppose to have my wii fit coming next week and i was woundering what everyone thought of it. I was woundering if you felt it really worked or if it was just another game.

Love it

GracieSam — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 10:42:39 -0700

I just got the wii fit 2 days ago. And I love it. It's so much fun. My boyfriend and I have little competitions to try and out do the other and because he is in better shape then me it's a good challenge and workout for me. Now with this and a well balanced diet (I cut out all junk food) I'm hoping to loose 10 lbs before the beginning of September.

Finally!

zebra — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 07:28:25 -0700

We got our Wii Fit today, at last, and I'm looking forward to trying it out this weekend.

Still no Wii Fit

zebra — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 06:50:58 -0700

As the Wii Fit seems to be virtually unobtainable in England, I was pinning my hopes on getting one in Spain, my son said they had a lot there and he had no trouble buying one when they first came out. But when we went shopping last week it appears that Spain is now into Guitar Hero instead! I shall keep trying.

Thanks!

That's brilliant, thanks Schnappy!

Weighing in on the Wii Fit

Schnappy — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 07:19:41 -0700

Don't worry about anyone seeing your actual weight. When you weigh in it just tells you your BMI. If you want to know your weight you can hit the weight button and it will tell you. Also you can put a password on your Mii so you're the only one that can look at your weight graph. I hope this info helps.

Waiting to get started

zebra — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 01:21:00 -0700

I haven't managed to get a Wii Fit yet but I should have one on the next couple of weeks, I'm really looking forward to it. There is only one thing that concerns me slightly and I hope you guys will be able to give me some advice. I am paranoid about anyone knowing my weight - will my husband see this info when he uses the Wii fit? I know it's a silly thing to worry about, but what can I say, I'm silly!

The Boxing ROCKS!

sienna — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 19:10:28 -0700

I love my Wii Fit!! It actually makes exercising fun. The Boxing is one of my favorite games to play.

sandra1tym — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 21:10:45 -0700

i havent done any of the yoga exercises yet, but find the aerobics ones really good. i really break a sweat doing the free run. havent tried the boxing one yet either.

I forgot...

Schnappy — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 07:55:33 -0700

to mention what exercises I'm doing. I do the strength training, aerobics, and the balance exercises. The strength training is a tough workout. I'm now adding reps and it's rough but fun.

Wii Fit ROCKS!

Schnappy — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 07:49:37 -0700

Hi everyone! I LOVE the Wii Fit!!! I hate to exercise so I'll do it for a week and then I quit. With the WF I have been exercising for at least 3 time a week for a month. Now if I can just keep the diet going, I'm in business. I have 30 pounds to loose before October! Eek! So far, so good, I haven't lost anything yet (the diet part is the problem) but at least I'm getting off the couch.

I agree

Bstamand — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 05:15:43 -0700

I was also skeptical, but bought it for my wife, and we're both hooked. The Yoga, which I was unsure of, actually is great! I really have to get on it more thoug. It really makes getting fit a little more fun!

Skeptical at first

mediaman — Thu, 29 May 2008 13:08:54 -0700

Now that I have used it every day since its release I am now up to additional reps and other exercises that are providing good exercise. I really appreciate the visual indicators to make sure that proper form and timing is kept which gets more from the workout. I never have done Yoga in my life but find the stretching with balance to be a nice addition to my workout. The fun of competing for the top score with other family members is probably the most motivational.

wii fit

sweetyc37 — Thu, 29 May 2008 08:03:16 -0700

I really like Wii Fit. I've tried the first few exercises and so far they seem to be working and you get instant gratification by being about to see what your BMI and wieght are at the beginning and end of your work out

best scale ever

XXXxxxxxxx — Sat, 24 May 2008 00:51:19 -0700

this has to be the best weight tracking scale ever! but... it made my Mii all fat!
