Wii Fit of Exercise Bike.

Hi all I need help trying to decide. I got Christmas money from my parents and am trying to decide how to spend it ha ha. I was thinking a recumbant bike so I can read while I exercise, but Hubby mentioned the Wii fit. Input please it will help me decide.

I really enjoy using my wii fit and I can slide it under the tv hutch so it's not in the way when I'm not using it.  I did 45 minutes last  night of step aerobics, hula hoop, some yoga, and boxing.  I really broke a sweat and it wasn't boring because I could change the activity when ever I wanted too.  I also like the wii fit board because it can weigh you and keep track of your progress.  I hope that helps.

oh the wii fit out ways everything..it is so fun and it doesnt seem like ur over doing either..get a good work out..so good i dont want to do treadmill anymore just takes up to much space

My vote would be for WiiFit - recumbant bike is basic singular in it's exercise - the WiiFit is a lot more fun and provides a variety of exercises.

I've only had mine since Christmas and I know I've already used the Wii more than I have the treadmill and stationary bike that I've had for years.  Although I will say the bike makes for a nice place to hang clothes....

My thoughts exactly on the clothes rack! 

I'm thinking about purchasing wii fitness coach too.  You don't use the board with it, but it received better reviews then the Jillian Michaels game.  DH wants me to go to the gym a couple of days a week but I have to find a place that has childcare so it poses a problem.  I figure if I do the board and that game 4 or 5 days a week it'll be good.

I don't even own one, and I vote for the Wii Fit!!  I think you will have a bit more variety of exercise over the recumbent bike.

Hi Kathy, sounds like you had a great xmas.  I vote also for the fit, so many choices, and still the kids would love it and have them be more active too, it is amazing how even the other games still get you off the couch.  Boxing is a better workout then the Wii Fit is I think.  as for the weighing in, it is so "inaccurate"  I lost 8.5 lbs. it told me this morning, and I was in "Onederland"  yea, right, I wish.  on my bathroom scale I was like 7 lbs. more, so I woun't count toomuch on that.  But, it might be the carpet too.  but, it is much more fun and the variety is ever changing where the bike would get boring like the treadmill does.  Good luck with the choice.

Hi      Kathy

My vote is for the wii fit.  I love mine.  I also have the  jillian michaels which is good for  getting  heart rate up when you need to.    ii will get wii fitness coach  when i get bored with what i have.  Like anything  you can get bored if you dont   step it up.  but  i have had it  since september and am still using it so i not to bored with it.

Have a great  day!!!
