Wii Fit

Lots of fun for the whole family!

Strengths: The different work outs are fun and get you moving.

Weakness: After a while, you may get sick of the games. Scale sometimes seems a little wonky. May offend some.

Wii Fit hints at being able to lose weight while playing it but never actually comes out and makes that claim. It definetly gets people moving and for the people who live pretty sedentary lifestyles, half an hour a day may very well help them lose weight. If you're a gym every day fitness buff, this game probably won't help you much but it's still a lot of fun. - The Wii Fit balance board comes...

Wii Fit - An innovation in Gaming

Strengths: A step in right direction

Weakness: The interface could have been much better

There was a lot of hype for Wii fit & it did live up to it for most part. I was not expecting much out of it but was pleasantly surprised at how much fun it can be. Let me list a few points which clearly stands out 1) The board is well designed & is very responsive to your movements 2) The games & exercises are well categorized & you unlock more stuff as you continue planning. 3) You can set a...

A lot of people don't understand

Strengths: everything

Weakness: Using BMI

I am a Physical Therapist in a skilled nursing facility. We decided to get the Wii for working with patient's on balance, hand-eye coordination, strength training, etc. When the Wii fit came out we immediately bought it. The Wii fit has helped many of our patients improve much faster than standard exercise routines. What people don't understand is that before the Wii fit came out, the only option...

Wii Fit should be called Wii Balance

Strengths: VERY innovative adaptation of user controls to game; balance board is high quality and relatively accurate; MSRP is a great deal for what you're getting

Weakness: Games are short and repetitive; balance board is not built for sudden movements (first person shooters, basketball, etc.)

Don't pay more than $100 for this game. It's a great hardware/game combination, and one of the most innovative applications of user interface that I've ever seen, but you'll likely start to feel a bit ripped-off a few weeks after purchasing. There is a huge novelty factor tied to this game. Its cool in the beginning and unless you're a fitness buff who hates the outdoors and prefers to exercise...

Wii Fit Exceeded this Lazy Woman's expectations

Strengths: Fun, motivating, easy to use, allows me to set goals, engaging, effective for getting in shape.

Weakness: I'm addicted to it, I need an expansion pack of additional exercises.

I received my Wii Fit 65 days ago and I'm still using it daily. Each day I do a combination of aerobic, strength and yoga exercises and reward myself with one or more of the balance games. When people ask me how long I work out on it, I tell them honestly that it's at least 30 minutes and I try to stop after that amount but I'm usually having so much fun, I can't stop. I HATE exercise. I have...

Wii FIT ROCKS!

Strengths: It really works you out. My balance and flexability have already increased.

Weakness: You can only have 8 registered users. It is also only 1 player.

I am truly impressed with this unit. I did not expect much but when I started to lose weight, I was hooked. The balance portion has made me aware of how I stand. Now my heels do not hurt at the end of the day.

Wii Fit

Strengths: Fun Excersize

Weakness: Unlocking all the events Only takes about 3 hours total to unlock everything

A lot of the excersizes are a lot of fun. However, it is really easy to beat most of them. But on the other hand, a lot of the excersizes I can't even get near to 100%. I played Lacrosse, Hockey, and Tae Kwon Do/Kick Boxing all my life. I am in real good fit and I struggle with some of them. I also sweat a lot during it. It's great excersize

Interesting game

Strengths: Interesting concept for a "game"

Weakness: Does not really take place of "real" exercise

This is a fun way to get up off the couch and get a bit active. Though there is no way this should be mistaken for proper exercise. I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy of the weight measures. Nice feature is that the game keeps track of your progress. Overall, it is a fun game.

Review the product Wii Fit you recently purchased

Strengths: Variety of exercise, ability to score your performance and the body test is very helpful.

Weakness: Does not move to more challenging moves and repetitions quickly enough; moves too slowly when you are familiar with the exercises.

Even though I am enjoying Wii Fit, I would like to be able to enter the number of repititions I desire. Also, I would like to be able to string together multiple yoga moves or strength training moves to make more of an exercise "routine".

Wii Fit

Strengths: Fun. Engaging. Challenging.

Weakness: Has trouble accurately measuring weight.

I love this little bastard. I play with it. My kid plays with it. Of course it tells me I am fat and old...I might be old but not THAT old. Truth is I am 42 and muscular...but such a crummy gamer that the Wii Fit told me I am 58 and fat...I got over it and play it when I have the time. It is a groundbreaker in gaming as the days of twerps with big thumbs is making way for a demographic that likes...
