wii fit - looking for input!
OK So I am going to come clean here - I am TERRIBLE about exercise! In the spring/summer/fall I get plenty in as I am always outside working on a project, lifting, digging, cleaning etc, getting my heart rate going.
Now that winter is here I am in the house more and less active. I am getting hubby a Wii for Christmas and was wondering if anyone had Wii fit and what they thought of it - I might just treat myself come January. I do have a treadmill and bike which I dread using.
Thanks for the input!

I got one right before surgery and used it a few times. Then i didn't use it at all until recently. It was funny because the little Mii got all persnickity when I stepped on it that I had lost so much weight since my last visit and told me it was UNHEALTHY. little $#!T
Anyway, I guess Norm is right, it's better than nothing. I still think the gym is a much better option, but it would not hurt to have Wii Fit as well. Do the hula hoop - that seriously gets my heart rate going. Oh and take pictures or better yet video. It's serioulsy hysterical to watch.

Hi Liz,
We got the kids a Wii for christmas as well. The other night a friend gave me a "tour" of the Wii fit. The step areobics looks good. My sis said maybe we can put the fit board up on a box and it would be more like a real step class. The hula hoop game looked fun too.
Anyone tried the step class?

Hi Liz,
My sis has one that I've used a few times when I visited with her and I have to agree with Norman - not much in terms of a good cardio workout but that's just my thoughts on it.
I don't know if you have ever tried the Leslie Sansone Walk Away The Pounds dvd's but I use those during the winter when I can't get outside because of the weather. They're a great cardio workout in my opinion. I have quite a few of them if you're interested in trying them. Just let me know and I will make copies and bring them to you on Sunday. I also have The Biggest Loser workout. I haven't tried that one yet but you're welcome to that one also if you like.

I'm more than happy to make you a copy but I don't want any $$ for it silly! And if you try to give it to me, I will give it right back to you or hide it in your house..Remember that whole money for the ingredients thing?? I'm sneaky like that! lol
I'm pretty sure I have one that is a 5 mile walk but it's broken down into segments so that you can do just the number of miles you want to. That would probably be a good one to start out with. If you try it and like it, just let me know and I'll hook you up with the others that I have. It's no problem at all!!
See you on Sunday!
