Wii Fit Plus

[dr.mel_PT]

I got this for Christmas as I absolutely am addicted to it!! I don't think it can sub in for a workout but it adds a little oomph to my routine and I can do it on rest days without feeling like I'm overworked.

BUT I was annoyed when they told me my Wii Fit age is 14 years older than my real age!!!! My mom is 25 years older than me, never works out, and her Wii Fit age was only 10 years older than my Wii Fit age. GRRR!!!

Does anyone else have the Wii Fit? Now that I have the board, I'm wondering what other decent games there are...

Melissa - I love Shaun White's snowboarding game! http://www.gamespot.com/wii/sports/shaunwhitesnowboarding/index.html

It's so much fun with the Wii fit board. If you play it long enough, you'll really feel some burn in your thighs too just from squatting low and balancing your character on screen. Also, a more juvenile game that I still have fun with is "WiiSki". My nieces and nephews love that one too. http://www.amazon.com/We-Ski-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B0015HZLUQ

Sherry - Does Sports Resort use the Fit Board?

My brother got me Sports Resort for Christmas. I haven't tried that yet.

Liann, I'm glad to hera the Shaun White game is good!! I added that to my bday list. Thanks!

Does anyone have the WiiFit Riisers? I'm hearing mixed reviews about the ones from Nintendo. There is also an Everlast riser at Toys R Us that looks a little more sturdy; it's 3" high and supposedly you can stack them to create an additonal 6" if needed.

"EA Sports Active" and "EA Sports Active More Workouts" both use the Wii balance board in some of their activities. You can choose not to use it if you don't want to. I have both games and they're a lot of fun.

I just put my balance board on top of my step and it works great! (I just use the top of the step without the risers, though I bet it would also work using the step risers)
