Starting with Wii Fit
| Mon, 05-11-2009 - 7:47pm |
I hear this is a great thing ----
Does anyone here use it?
I am, however, technically-challenged, ----
I have a "wii" -
what are all the equipment pieces I need to get started?
I suppose i hafta also buy diff. "games" - to do all the diff. sports with it?
Do I need yet more hand controls? mat? mat cover? other funky devices?

There are a few here that have used it & love it ..
While we wait to hear from others ..
I'll check for our other thread on it in hopes of it helping :)
I think if you get the "Wii Fit" bundle it comes with everything you need for the exercise stuff.
I'm not 100% positive since I don't have a Wii myself - hopefully someone else can help.
I do hope you let us know how you make out!

My kiddos have a Wii Fit and we all use it
It comes with the Wii Fit balance board and one 1 game
The included game has several different areas
Yoga, strength training, balance exercises & cardio
Each area has 4-5 games to begin with and as you use them
you earn credits to get more options.
I use my regular yoga mat under the balance board when I use it,
No special equipment needed.
Then, you can also buy different titles for your Wii that use the balance board.
Gold's Gym has one, and I think there is a Jillian Michels title as well.
We don't have those yet, not sure I'll invest in them.
Oh, and did I mention it keeps track of how often you log on,
reminds you that you aren't coming back often,
and keeps track of your weight & BMI
It asks you to set goals, and lets you know how you are progressing towards those goals.
I don't play with it often, but do use the weight/BMI program.

Hoping pickeryfence sees it all
I was going to get it but never did ..
Although there is always next winter :)
Thanks everyone -
I'm going to check all the links.
Question: Can you use it on carpet?
Does it matter?
I'm thinking it'll be in our livingroom!!!
:D
And the kids take it to their karata dojo and use it on concrete.
I don't think it matters.
