Wii would like to play.... WII FIT! If you have one, tell me about it!  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. mommyboo (4303)   ranked 227 out of 19,253 in questions & answers 3 years ago

I just got one. I have no idea what I'm doing. Everybody I talk to says it is very user friendly, and the wii must be since my friend's son was playing it all by himself when he was 3.

We have the sports pack and the Jillian Michaels trainer game plus whatever comes with the Wii Fit package.

Suggestions? Experience? Things to be sure I do? Things to be sure I DON'T do?

Yes I have heard about the Mii's and how you make them all cool and then it might make your Mii fat and tell you you're obese..... doh

If you want to make you mii cool, you just need to go to mii chanel, just next avatar of wii chanel I think! the secon one on the first row! You choose to edit mii, and you need to crab the mii you want change to the option, and you can do what you want. You can also creat a new mii, in mii chanel.

I play wii and wii fit both, my husband never play wii fit! I love tennis, and we buy wii sports, and I love play table tennis. And I think you must have wii fit, because in wii fit plus can tell you how calroi you burn every time you finish play one of game! And in wii fit plus there have information about how much calroi like rice, one can of coke have. And you can made your own plan to lose weight or increase weight!

Because I become too fat recently, I love use wii fit to control it, and I love play yorgot with wii!

I made a pretty cool little mii.... and I like most of the aerobics and balance activities. The hula hoop one is crazy, so is one of the bike ones! I get worn out just from 10 minutes.

We have the Wii and the Wii Fit and have a good time with both. The Wii does take a little bit of practice. Most of the time, getting a good result in one of the games is about timing and letting go of, or pushing a button at a certain point in the movement. Make sure the little sensor bar is in a good spot and can pick up your motion acurately.

Now, the Wii Fit can give you a great workout. We have The Biggest Loser workout to go along with it. I just started with the beginner routines and it gets my heart pumping. I'd be curious to hear how the Jillian Michaels workout is.

Remember, have fun.

I haven't opened up the Jillian Michaels one yet, but I do enjoy the Wii Fit. I mostly do the balance related things and aerobics. I'm not super good at balancing but I'm getting better lol.

I have had a wii fit for over a year and I recently bought wii fit plus too. Basically you want to decide whether you're just going to have fun with it, or if you want to lose some weight. The balance games are just for fun since you don't really burn any calories there. I like to start my workout with a long run and then I do the hula hoop for 10 minutes (the longest one). This is really a calorie burner. Then, you can do the yoga workouts or the muscle workouts. I like the muscle workouts better because yoga is a bit too boring, but I sometimes do yoga too. You have to practice every available exercise to unlock new ones. Some exercises are really hard to do and you can have a nice workout on the wii fit. Just be sure that you never jump on the board because there's a good chance you'll break it. If you like the balance games, you should probably buy wii fit plus too. There are 15 additional balance games and it also counts calories that you spend, which is a great motivation.


myLot reputation of 93/100. mommyboo (4303)   ranked 227 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  2 years ago

We have the Wii Fit Plus - I noticed that when you do some things at a better level you unlock more. You can also add other activities to your log, like if I ran outside or went to the gym. The balance stuff is interesting to me because after awhile, you get really fatigued, showing how much your body depends on good balance to perform correctly. I love the hula, I have trouble leaning to collect extra hoops though. Most of the stuff looks like learning how to do it, once you know how it's easier.

Just get the system set up correctly and set up a user profile for yourself,putting in the measurements it asks for,and work through the exercises it gives you..if you keep with it,the system does work-the exercises used will make you fitter if you keep going with it..My routine is so off I can't set aside a particular time of day to work with it,so I'm going in at all sorts of odd hours..it does recommend that you have a routine to spend time on it..Good Luck!


myLot reputation of 93/100. mommyboo (4303)   ranked 227 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  2 years ago

LOL! I generally don't get on the same time(s) every day or even every day depending on when my kid is parked in front of the tv it's hooked up to lol. It seems super easy to spend a lot of time on it though, and it's active - unlike spending a lot of time HERE lol.

I love this game!!!
I don't yet own one though.....
My brother bought one and we play it a lot at his house. He has a nice big screen TV and it is a LOT of fun to play. It gets you off the couch and moving around.
I like to play the bowling game....with the right TV, it's just like being at the bowling alley!!!
Lots of Fun!


myLot reputation of 76/100. machivado (476)   ranked 2,923 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Yeah, I agree with you. Wii is fun to play and helps to keep your body in shape. I really like it.


myLot reputation of 93/100. mommyboo (4303)   ranked 227 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  2 years ago

I haven't tried the bowling yet, just the tennis and the Wii Fit sections. I like most of the aerobic type stuff, balance, and I tried the yoga. Haven't tried much of the strength yet, just a little.

We also have a ps3 and I've done the bowling on that, I wonder if the Wii bowling is more realistic.

Wii the best game console ever! Get fit with Wii you won't regret it.
My favorite games are boxing and tennis but I want to play table tennis as well. But I think Wii is rather slow don't you think?

I haven't used it a lot yet but I like what I have seen of it. I am a late convert to the Wii crowd, my hubby got it because some guy at work couldn't stop talking about how great it was lol. It also seems to be a better way for him to work out, we have a weight bench and weights in our front room and I do use the gym membership but....

I don't have a wii fit but I've considered getting one for awhile. One thing to really keep in mind is that studies have proven that the wii fit really doesn't help people get in shape. It helps you get up and move but it's not too conducive to actually losing weight.

So with that in mind, if you're looking to get more active and off the couch great! But you'll have to add some other things in your daily routine to help you get into shape.


myLot reputation of 93/100. mommyboo (4303)   ranked 227 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  2 years ago

LOL! I think it's an excellent motivator for someone who is already in shape and just perhaps lazy for half the week. It certainly helps you move more than this does, although my fingers get a LOT of exercise when I'm on the computer!

Wii Fit is great. The balance board is very accurate and ensures that you do each excersise correctly. You follow the instuctions you are given on screen ot set up a profile for yourself.
After that you will be ready to take your body test. select take body test and then follow each instruction you are given. After your test you will be graded and given a Wii fit age. This number indicates how old the machine thinks you are according to your test results.
When the test has been completed you may select a stamp to mark the day. Then you can track your progress, review your goals (you set these whem you make a profile.) or practice and tune your skills.


myLot reputation of 93/100. mommyboo (4303)   ranked 227 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  2 years ago

My Wii Fit says I'm 43.... it said I was 46 the first day I did it. HEH. I think that it just doesn't like me and I can't balance worth a damn - which is why I did so lousy on the test lol.

Give it to the kids, if you have to ask, you're too old. rasp

OK but seriously, we just got one too and all I know is that I don't sparkle like a diamond and I'm not likely to get over the trauma any time soon (Twilight game).

We have the sports pack too but the disk won't load. Need to see what we need to do to get it replaced. Husband keeps saying he's going to, but if I had held my breath, I'd be beyond blue by now...


myLot reputation of 93/100. mommyboo (4303)   ranked 227 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Twilight GAME? YOu gotta be kidding me lol. Yeah, I would find out about exchanging that disc - before you turn blue. Then having a Wii would be pointless, wouldn't it? LOL!


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24242)   ranked 97 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Yeah, it's basically a Twilight trivia game. And I did go and exchange the disk. Sometimes I think when he says, "I'm going to do..." he really means "I'd like you to..." Nothing like clear communication! lol
