 Not Effective Use of Exercise Time August 31, 2008
I must say though the Wii fit is mildly entertaining, it was not what I has expected when I purchased it.
I thought I would be able to have a fitness class or some training at home. What the Wii fit offers is a demonstration of very short exercises you can choose to do. There is no 'class' or even substantial segment of fitness routines anywhere on Wii fit. You must INDIVIDUALLY select to do a single yoga pose or a single set of push-ups. After each one, lasting approximately 1-2 minutes, you must choose to "retry" or "quit". When you "quit", you return to a menu to select another individual exercise. There are several things in between each and every exercise you complete providing feedback and a score. Not bad information but terrible to stop constantly and push A and wait again for another menu choice. The menu will suggest doing 2 exercises in a row, but you cannot highlight or select that as an option and have 2 in row come on screen.
The graphing and progress reports are interesting and beneficial. The concept of the board being able to measure and assess balance is great. I just don't have the extra time to stop and wait between each movement. Going through the menus constantly is frustrating when I want to exercise. It takes about 55 minutes of time to accomplish 30 minutes of workout as logged by the Wii fit.

 Wii-Fit Supplementary Activity August 31, 2008
I recently bought the wii-fit thinking it was going to be a hard-core workout like Tae-Bo or something, not the case. It's slow with many pauses between exercise moves. I think its great for the sedentary child or family fun, but definitly not as your sole exercise routine. My advice is buy it for fun, to get the family moving behind the tv set, don't buy it if you want to lose weight, you'll just be disappointed and don't buy it if you are used to intense workouts, you'll only be disappointed. Bottom line- wii-fit is for entertainment, fun and can really get sedentary kids moving! and apart from my stars given, my kids would give 5!
WII FIT Review August 31, 2008

I love Wii Fit! I teach and when I used to come home, I was so tired I did not want to "work out."
Now with this thing, I make the time and spend an hour and not even know it. It is fun and it does work. I have already lost some weight in just a week. I am five foot three and about 120 pounds, and I set a goal to lose 10 pounds. I am getting closer and I have never had so much fun working out (if you can call it that) in my life. There are so many choices and games too! You can pick Yoga, strengh training, balance games, or aerobic exerices. You also unlock more things as you progress. THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!
Fun...even when you don't like exercise! August 30, 2008
This is the best, by far, for keeping me entertained while exercising...it is fun and competitive for yourself and with others! Love the Fit Body Age and tests and privacy to keep that to yourself!
