I picked this up yesterday. Amazing concept.

I have never worked out a day in my life - but this was making it fun.

The Yoga is crazy - Never realized breathing was so hard to do. I find the balacing games really tough.

I give it a 5 out of 5

    I resorted to Craig's list. Picked it up for $130.00

    She gave me the receipt from where she bought it. It was at Walmart, after it was closed, the day before it went on sale. Looks like she works there.

    I don't have a tight rope or the chompers that come with it, or a ski jump or even a ski hill (70 degrees out). I'm certainly not headed to Antarctica to flop around like a penguin (haven't got a red fish yet). I can bop soccer balls without getting a headache. I also get a free yoga instructor! Wooohooo!!

    So you judge things by watching them not trying them.

    You implied it. and if you think I'm obsessed with you, you are to full of yourself.

    I think you mean "TOO" full of myself.

    now drop it and let the man have his Wii thread.

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    It is very cool. Physiotherapists use it at the local hospital for the neuro rehab patients to assist in getting there balance back to par. It's great fun too. :D
    Just like Mario Kart WII!!

    Wii Fit is great !
    A friend bought it and I tried on Friday. I went to te hshop on Saturday monring and bought one + wii fit + mario kart.

    We picked one up on Saturday. We were upset that we hadn't pre-ordered one and called a few stores and of course everyone said they were sold out. GameStop said to call Sunday right after 11 when they open to see if they had any pre-orders that weren't going to be picked up and we could buy one of them. But we went to WM Saturday night and they had a bunch(even tho we had called and they said no).

    Anyway we are having a ball with it! My feet start to cramp after awhile. I rock at the soccer ball thing. I am in the lead in our family with 140 balls hit! No idea how I did that. My husband did 882 on the hula hoop, I have no idea how!

    We have an ongoing war with the table tilt game, he is beating me and has gotten to the second level, I am stuck on the first level 7 I think.

    And hey whoever said they didn't get a red fish, I got two on my first try!!! That game was pretty fun.

    I am the best here at the step basic step and pretty good at advanced step.

    For the person who said go outside, I have a special needs baby who can't really go outside(she is in a wheelchair and has a seizure disorder,she also has no hypothalamus so she can't regulate her body temp so I really can't take her outside) and I would never leave her while I jogged or walked so this is really perfect for me.

    The balance games are tough! I am improving. My wii fit age was 25 this morning, so I was pretty pleased with that, lol.
