So today was finally the release of the highly anticipated of the wii fit. At 90 bucks it is not cheap at all. Did anyone purchase it today? how is it so far? does it seem to be worth the buck? I see that they already came out with a game called wii ski for the board that comes with the wii fit, did anyone buy that? I am debating about buying it and was hoping to get some feedback on it before i do.

Despite its moniker, Wii Fit isn't a total fitness solution, with its included exercises focusing more on improving muscle tone and balance than on cardio and weight loss. What it does offer is a better way to track your weight, body mass index (BMI), and time spent exercising both within the game itself and from any other external activities, giving users a clearer picture of how their health is progressing over time. It's no more going to make you super-fit than Wii Sports is going to make you a tennis pro, but it can provide a strong anchor for a more expansive fitness regime should you have the motivation.

Yes i think that it would be really cool. I have seen that it can calculate your BMI and you can do yoga pilates aerobic and heaps of different exercises. It also keeps track of your fitness progress. I suppose it is your own little digital trainer showing you what you need to work on and what you are getting better at. I think it will definatly work to get you fit.

I would love to buy the wii fit but I still cannot find it anywhere. Has anyone had any luck finding it online or in stores? I wonder if I will actually lose weight using it. I know that when I play boxing and when my son plays boxing we both work up a sweat. So it figures that if you are moving around then you will work up a sweat, so... Anyways, yes, I will buy one when I can find one.

I will eventually buy it, I don't even have a Wii, they are still impossible to find in my area, so it's going to be a while before I review the Wii Fit. I'm rather excited about it though, that will most likely wane before I actually purchase it however. We shall see...

I don't feel like buying it, I'd rather play DDR for wii and do some real exercise out there, I dunno, it defeats the purpose of the wii for me o_o
