Thumbs up Wii Fit Balance Board

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have any thoughts with Wii Fit?

I'm not really ready for the GYM so I just pre-order it.

Do you think it's good to have somebody/something to break things down for you and help you jump in and learn?

If that's the thing they are advertising on Celeb Fit Club, it looks so cool and might actually be a fun workout! Let us know how you like it!

I will let you guys know when I get it May 27th.

FYI - The Wii Balance Board does have a 300lb limit.

I too just pre-ordered mine. I am very excited to get it. I do go to a gym but I think it would be nice to use at home for on the floor kind of exercises and that balance board. My trainer started working with my balance because apparently I am not so good in the balance area (news to me, I dont fall down to often!). I cant wait to get mine.

Okay, stupid question. I'm totally Wii illiterate, but here goes: Do you have to buy the Wii system that is like $250 and then the Wii fit is another add on, or is the Wii fit a completely seperate thing?

A friend of mine bought his kids a Wii for Christmas and I know they play tennis and baseball on it. They were sore for a week after getting it. Sounds like a blast. It would be nice to have since it gets so hot here in Texas.

Yes, you do have to buy the system and the Wii Fit is an add on. I've preordered mine, too, but won't be able to use if for a while. I won't be banded for a couple of weeks and it should arrive soon after! My husband and I are totally adicted to Tiger Woods Golf. Getting as much in as possbile before surgery!

We all love the Wii. My husband HATES video games and plays the Wii.
My youngest probably plays it the most he's 7 and he plays Guitar Hero every day . which by the way is a BLAST I even got into that.
We also love Tiger Woods Golf. My Dad has probbaly never played a game in his life comes over and we play Tiger Woods golf.
I have a 16 yr old sister and she brings her friends over about once a week so they can play it .
It really is cool ! The sport games is probably what we play the most of .
The kids love them and Guitar hero we have 2 guitars so we can "Battle" LOL
