wii fit plus - got me off the couch!

I bought this game to get both my husband and me off the couch and get moving. I love the honesty...it was an awakening! I was also able to set my own goal and see my progress. I'm really enjoying this work out!

I have wii fit, with balance board, and bought this based on reviews here.  I was not disappointed.  I work out regularly on my own, and use this as a supplement.  It really works out the upper and lower body, and has enough customization to keep it interesting.  The only negatives:  balance board isn't as integrated as it could be.  Wii Fit is far more balance-board centric, and more sensitive.  Workouts on Active are just as effective without the balance board, and in some cases (roller blading) more rigorous.  Active is in general less sensitive than Nintendo products - the basketball game doesn't require accuracy like Wii Resorts; the baseball doesn't require a whole lot of accuracy either.  Finally, I wish they had more of a core workout included - there's no core body routine, only upper and lower.  Again, Wii Fit has yoga and other ab components, as well as the scale and other, more useful integration of the balance board.  I definitely "feel the burn" in Active and recommend it beyond the above comments.  I have gone through the 30-day workout as well as the pre-set other workouts and designed my own custom workouts too.  I find myself yelling at the screen as my thighs are burning!

The Wii Fit saves me time and money on costly gym memberships.  Since all I have to do is pop in the disk, I am working out more often than when I had a gym membership.  The workouts and yoga poses are easy to do, and after a week I am already noticing results.  A most have for all of those people that don't have enough time to hit the gym.

If you are feeling a bit guilty about purchasing the typical video games that offer only killing and thumb exercise, this is the one to try.  My son asked for it for Christmas and I thought it would be like every other game he asked for: he would play it for a few days and be done with it.  He had been putting on a little weight due to his couch potato lifestyle and I had been trying to get him outside more, so this was a desperate attempt on my part.  Well, he loves it!  He is on it for an hour or so every day.  He has lost some weight already and has even shown some competitive spirit, fighting through some jogs and ab exercises.  It is obviously not better than going outdoors, but it is a great second alternative.  You can really work hard at the exercises if you want.  I tried it too.  It is like having your own personal trainer right in the living room.  Cool idea!

I enjoyed the Wii Fit but with the Wii Fit Plus I don't have to stop after every workout to decide on the next one it does that for me :)I can personalize my work out plan or have the plus do it for me how awesome is that!!! I also love that my animals are now involved... Oh and that I can change players while trying to play games :)

I bought the Wii Fit about three months ago. It is fun, easy and gets you off the couch.
Good things:
1) The charting of your weight and work out time. I like getting a little stamp and checking on my goals. I have a bet with my 22 year old daughter about working out every day and I am keeping up with her.
2) It is convenient. We all have good intentions but going to a gym with a trainer just hasn't worked out for me. Wii Fit has a trainer and I can pick activities to work on all kinds of balance or aerobics.
3) I made Miis of my whole family and it is fun to work out with them even if I haven't seen them for months.

Bad things:
1) I wish there were more aerobic activities with different music.
2) The hints are kind of annoying.

I definitely recommend this for all age levels.

I am in my late forties and have just started playing on a game console (Nintendo Wii). I am not one that has ever had the desire to sit and play video games to begin with, so being able to play the Wii fit plus makes this very enjoyable for me!  It motivates me more to want to get up and exercise and stay fit.  I can't believe how much I've been motivated to exercise since getting wii fit plus, I love mixing it up and using the sports resort as well.  Now there really isn't any excuse to not keep moving; this is so much fun to play!!!

I wanted to get Wii Fit, but couldn't find one so I went ahead and just started with the Wii.  Much to my surprise, even these games are great exercise and a lot of fun.  Try bowling 4 or 5 games with each hand.  You've just done about 80 lunges on each side.  If you don't feel that the next morning you're in a lot better shape then I am or else you're a whole lot younger!

OK, let me start this off by saying I'm a 55 year old woman.  I do NOT like "organized exercise" - i.e., going to the gym, classes, videos like Pilates etc.  In fact I rather detest them.  All THAT being said - I LOVE this game!

It gets me jumping, literally.  And I enjoy it.  Who would have thought THAT!  It's good not only for getting my heartrate up but it's also great for improving my balance.  There are a lot of games included, for one person or two - my son and I enjoyed playing together and laughed a lot.

I also have the Wii Fit and between these two games I can get a workout without suiting up, driving anywhere, becoming bored or otherwise irritating myself.  I highly recommend it for adults AND kids!

I bought this in Sept. 2008 and for the first couple of weeks I played it nearly everyday and stopped because of laziness but I've started again and I have to say I'm already seeing a little bit of results from 2 weeks on the WiiFit for min. 30 minutes. I tried going to the gym with a personal trainer and jogging but I'm not interested in sports or gym at all. I'm lazy and all of my friends say that the only exercise I would do is drive :)

The WiiFit is really fun and you get a good workout from it. I can combine yoga moves with strength training. I'm very satisfied. I wish they had an option where you can save the exercises. I know I can go to Favorites but it saves the most recent exercise and games that I played with the WiiFit. I started doing 2 sets of all the strength training. I wish they had an option to choose the amount of sets.

But overall, I'm very pleased that I bought it. I recommend this to everyone and all age!!!

Let me begin by explaining I'm a 38 years old female, approximately 25 lbs over a healthy weight and tragically uncoordinated.  I don't enjoy sports and I was the last kid picked in gym as a kid.

With all of that said...I love EA Sports Active

I have been doing Wii Fit for about 2 months, but I wanted to change it up a bit.

1) The leg strap stays put if it's against my skin instead of fabric.  Not a single problem as long as I'm not trying to put it over pants or shorts.

2) The resistance band appears to be fairly flimsy, but I can adjust it  easily based on how much slack I leave in it.  I'm 5' 3" so it can be long and provide no resistance, but if I fold it a little at the bottom and stand on it, I get perfect resistance. The important thing is I'm in total control.

3) The 30 Day Challange is fun.  It's something a little different every day.  Even though I can't walk and chew gum under normal circumstances, the work outs are basic enough that I haven't hurt myself or broken any furniture AND I'm sweating like a real athlete.

4) I have found the wiimote and chuck to be very responsive.  When I get an error message about something the trainer isn't liking, if I look at the little picture of the Trainer, I usually find that Yep...I'm doin' it wrong.

5) On any day I can choose to not do the exercize that it has planned for me. I can uncheck something if for instance I have bad knees or in my case, because I'm too lazy to do jump lunges (but I do feel guilty later).

6) Strangely, my avatar looks just like me.  I wish I could have her as my Mii.

My complaints are minor.
1) It doesn't track my weight -- that's o.k. I do my Wii Body Test everyday anyway to stay consistant.

2)The daily lifestyle survey doesn't do much for me other than to remind me that my vegetable intake is abyssmal.

3) I think I'd prefer a wirelss nunchuck as there have been some unfortunate cord incidents during high knee lifts and side jumps.

Overall, I'm loving it and my husband is giving my "Body by Wii" rave reviews.

My husband and I both love this game.  Everyone who has come over falls in love with it and wants one too.  It is so much fun, gets you off the couch, offers a competitive workout tailored to each person's needs.  Can't say enough about this game.  If you are hesitating about buying the game due to the price, trust me, you won't be disappointed!  It's a lot cheaper than a gym membership and a lot more fun.

This game is single-handedly responsible for bringing our Wii back from "hibernation" =)

We have a very heavy couch on short carpet, we need to slide it around often for exercising in the living room.  Before we had these EZ Moves, I felt like I didn't need a workout after moving the couch!  Now I can push the couch all the way across the living room with one swift shove!  It's so easy now!

I just got this amazing contraption two days ago. And it seems like I'm on a spending spree when it comes to healthy products. The Wii Fit caused me along with many others a "fit" in trying to track it down. But it was well worth calling all the carrying retailers to nail this program. My body has that wonderful aching hum of satisfaction that only comes from working out successfully.

The exercises are fun to do especially with my good looking animated male coach lol. I kid, but the biggest kick I get out of this is seeing the mii's I designed running along with me or doing step aerobics. Where else can I work out alongside Einstein? (I did a pretty good job, he looks uncanny).

I look forward to using this, and unlike the nintendo ds weightloss coach, I was able to input how much weight and in what time I wanted to lose it. This is  a great motivator considering the wii fit board doubles as a scale and tracks your progress. This has to be my best purchase of the year. Everyone who wants to get back on track should invest in the Wii Fit.

P.S. It's a good idea to use in conjunction with the nintendo ds weightloss coach for nutritional advice and supplemental support.

I really like our Wii Fit.  It's a fun way to keep track of your weight and BMI.

I started skeptical, thinking this was another gimmicky add-on for a console.  I have always preferred the standard game-pad interface, and I have been unimpressed with the Wii.  Then I fired up Kinect Adventures.  The sensor moved itself to accommodate me (6'3") and my son (4' 5"), and off we went.  I tried the river rapids game and found the controls so responsive that I could steer the raft simply by leaning side to side!  Next up, the wall-ball game.  It tracked my hands and feet perfectly, and the game is a blast!  Gunstringer is even better!

I know some people have had trouble with room size with the Kinect, and this is certainly an issue.  Nevertheless, my coffee table is exactly 6' from the front of the TV screen, so when Kinect adventures started, I did have to move the table back about a foot to be able to be detected in the "good" range.  Better yet, however, was when I moved the table forward, right up to the TV screen, and then I had more than 8' to play in.  The sensor happily registered me in the "better" range, and we had no problems with the table being in front (plus, you can't accidentally kick the TV with the table there!).  If you move out of range, the Kinect tries to keep you going, but flashes a warning to move back or forward.  If you drift for too long, you get dropped out of the game.  Fear not, however, as you simply have to move back into range, and you're back in the game.

The XBOX 360 is an amazing piece of hardware, but it really isn't complete without the Kinect!

I bought Wii Fit for my mom so she had a way to exercise when it was too cold to do so outside. I ended up playing it as much as she did. It's a great way to have fun with your family. When you are playing the games you don't even realize you are burning calories.
