Wii Fit

Just got one, its fantastic!!!

Thought it was a bit steep at £70, but well worth it.

The balancing evercises are fantastic, especially good training for MTB skills sections. The muscle workouts for the legs are good for the road bike. Trying to find some training plans to use with it on the web.

Anyone else got one?

i have one - the wife pre-ordered it.

sadly as me knee is currently fecked I haven't really been able to play on it - but the wife thinks it is great.

it seems good for setting goals and for feedback - even motivation really. It focusses on core body strength which is good for us all I guess.

I think it is a bit gimmicky - but also rather clever and as I said - the wife thinks its great - the sister in law loves the yoga section and my 4yr old daughter loves the heading balls ans ski-ing game - so it can't be all bad!

Oh yes . . . . got one just over a week ago.

Don't know which is most fun - doing the excercises or watching someone else.

Very clever bit of kit.

However I am now officially a fat bar steward. Wife came out low end of ideal where as I was overweight on the BMI test.

However my Wii fit age was only 46 compared to her 57!!!!!!! Both much older than we are

Got on as well. Love it loads, especially unlocking the different games and levels. The best use for it at the moment is as a warm up device before I go out on rides. Cant wait for some Fit specific games/sports for it

I just saw the advert. It's a bit odd, video games companies coming over all fit-and-healthy. A bit bit like when McDonalds started selling salads.

£70, excluding the £180 for the console

for £250 - you are well on the way to a better bike

Fair comment, but I think it complments my bike training as well, plus you also get Wii sports included, which is also great fun...

I was thinking of getting this and was tempted. But if I wanted a cheap way of doing exercise I'd buy a book or get one from the library! If push comes to shove I'd ride my bike more!
So I guess getting a Wii is for the fun aspects. But I'd rather go out, and that's more for the social interaction really.
