Make fitness fun. I havent laughed so much in ages and all in the name of fitness. It really brings out the competitive spirit and good healthy rivalry in the family. Help - my kids are even threatening to move home as Mum has better toys than they do
Just buy it! May 3, 2008

I consider myself to be an average 44 year old mum, who works full time and finds little time or inclination to go to a gym/fitness class. I'm well aware that I was not doing as much excercise as I should and it was beginning to show!! Received the Wii Fit as a birthday present and all I can say is that it is fantastic and well worth the 69.99. As all the other reviews have stated, it's easy, fun and also brings some family interaction and laughter into the home. I'm hooked - have only been on it for three days and the results are being seen (and felt) already! My only problem will be kicking the son of the Wii & the husband off of sky sports so I can use the Wii/TV!

Got the Wii Fit Board on Friday and have used it every day for about 40 mins after work. This has already gave me noticable results especially on my waist and thighs. I have mainly focused on the Yoga and muscle exercises, which i think are brillant! The other parts i think are good but not as good so I would suggest to still do some cardio activity on top of this.
As the board constantly grades you on how you stand on the board, i feel this has made me aware of my posture when i standing anywhere.
Overall this is a worthwile buy
Does this spell the end for the gym??? May 1, 2008

Well, I've had my Wii Fit for a week now and I'm still as hooked. Infact, as you unlock more features the more you use it, I'm even MORE impressed than I was when I got it, and that's saying something!
If you are considering the Wii Fit because you want to lose some weight, or tone up, or improve your fitness, then I can say without fear that this WILL provide you with all you need to achieve your goal. Whatever your current activity level, Wii Fit has something to help you improve.
I was concerned that perhaps this would be a 'token gesture' of a fitness game. It isn't. This is the real thing and Nintendo should be congratulated on not just throwing out a quick fitness gimmick, but on taking the time to really cover all aspects of fitness.
Not only have I used this every day, but I wake up looking forward to my next shot! I spend time working on my posture and balance - which is built into some great games but which are also very insightful, and a bit of an eyeopener. The Balance Board is so well created that, in seconds, it was able to tell a friend of mine that he slouches, has terrible posture, and explained exactly what he was doing wrong, and how he could correct it. It was absolutely bang on.
I then spend time doing some aerobic activity, like jogging, hula hoops (great for the hips, thighs, and bum), and step dance. This lot will have you sweating every bit as much as a trip to the gym. But it's great fun too!
I can then spend some time on toning up with the help of my personal trainer. And to cool down, I do some yoga... something I have never even considered before but which I'm enjoying. The board is so sensitive that it really ensures you achieve the correct technique.
This is a real workout, every bit as productive as a trip to the gym. I have a gym membership and, when I manage to drag myself up there, I do enjoy it. The problem is I don't drag myself up there enough. Maybe I've only a couple of hours before I start work; maybe it's rush hour and I can't be bothered getting stuck in traffic; maybe it's raining. There's always a reason not to go.
The beauty of Wii Fit is it's waiting for you, right in your livingroom, whenever you want it. It's fun, it's inventive, it's personal and gives real time feedback. Forget the gym. Forget your workout video. Wii Fit WILL get you into shape, and you'll love every second!
