Nintendo Wii fit

Just wondering what your experiences with it are. Is it worth the money? Is it fun? I am seriously considering investing in this, but don't know. We have a Play Station 2 and only the kids play that. I never really had much interest in it. Is this better?

I think its a great way to track weight lose and to get your butt off the couch as a family.

I don't think it would be difficult enough to replace regular exercise.

Its fun for a family activity but it's not a workout in my book. Extremely beginner.

I agree, great for family fun and getting off the couch but not to replace my current workouts.

I think I've got DH talked into getting one. I would do this just for fun. My real workout comes from Cathe and Jari Love! The day doesn't start until I finish a sweat session with one of these ladies. Thanks everyone for the replies!

We love ours to do as a family. And I agree, it's definitely beginner. But it's awesome for those that need these fun beginner level exercises to get them started.

Wii Fit is fun, but like others said it's very easy. I bought the Wii fitness coach and liked it much better. It uses your regular workout equipment: stability ball, step, weights. You don't actually use the wii controller at all....You have a virtual trainer who tracks your progress and creates the workout for you depending on what you choose for the day, can do like 500 different random workouts. It has strength training, yoga, cardio, etc. Nothing fancy, it is an animated trainer after all. You tell it what days of the week and for how long you can commit each day. So if you want a fitness program I'd get the fitness coach. If you want something fun for the kids I'd get the wii fit....Cause doing the hula hoop is hilarious!
