To Wii or not to Wii

My DH has asked me if I'd like a Wii for my birthday and I am considering it, but wondering how much use it would get.  I really want the Wii Fit and he said he'd get that too.

Just curious to those who have a Wii how often do you use it.  Was it a worthwhile purchase? He and I would be th only ones using it.

thanks
HG

The wi-fit is an incredible tool.  You can use it to track your weight loss in addition to the activities you participate it.  It is very sophisticated.  It can even analyze your posture and give you exercises to improve it.  There are low impact activities such as balance or high impact such as running.  Plus it's very cute and has built in motivation to keep you active.

My favorite is the downhill ski racing.  My least favorite is the hula hoop....still can't get that motion.  And you will be amazed at how good this thing is at knowing exactly how you are moving.  It even has yoga, but I'm not ready for that.

Make sure you have enough room for the "pad" on the floor in front of your TV.

I recommend it....but have to say it's been awhile since it's been getting nice outside.

I agree, its a great tool.

At our house its great at gathering dust!   We thought we would use it alot more than we do. 

In hind site I would have skipped it. 

I don't own one but my sister does.. and the Wii YOGA kicks your butt!!!

We have alot of fun playing regular Wii and using the Fit..

First off, today is your birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR HG, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!

We have Wii bowling tournaments at our house, it's very fun! A lot of the games are fun and can be active based on how you move the controllers, etc. We also have the Carnival game and I have to tell you, I love Ski ball!!! It's my favorite part of the game. And the best part, it's improved my score at the real game, too.

We also have the Fit, but I have not used it more than 2 times. I always have good intentions, but just haven't made it a habit yet.

During the winter, we use the Wii a lot more than we do during the summer months.

birthday is tomorrow,  I will be sharing a date with stephanie!! but thank you so much for the b'day wishes

Have you heard from Nadalie?  I was wondering  how she is doing, do you know?

We use our Wii fit every day...it is so great fun!!!!

Thanks for your thoughts.  It would probably get more use in the colder months, but I think I would like having one.

You know, Wii Fit is like evertything else in life.  It is what you make  of it.  I got my first shot of it 2 weeks ago, and it will now and forever be a regular part of my life, but like everthing, there are cheats, and you can figure out how to do things with minimal movement, or you can actively play, or you can completely throw yourself into it and take advantage of what it will help you do.  I think it's great fun, especially being active while using it, and having somebody who will play the same way.   Big question: will you make it more activity than you were doing 3 days ago.  If yes, then it's sooo worth it. and it can be a bonding experince.

Love Love Love my wii fit!! I have an appointment with it everyday at 5pm. I love how it tracks my bmi and weight for me and even graphs it out.
