I've been thinking about asking for Wii Fit for Christmas but I want to make sure it's worth the $90 or so it costs. What are your opions on it? Is it worth the money?
Also..
Do you know if Wii Ski is just about skiing or does it have snowboarding on it too?
THANKS!!! =)
Yes definatley. I got a Wii Fit because I just had my third son and can't really go to the gym. Also I am a rather large breasted person, so typical cycles, stair climbers and the like are really hard for me to do because being larger breasted you tend to loose a little of your center of gravity making those kinds of cardio exercises very hard on your back. So, for me to go to the gym just to walk on a treadmill seemed silly. So, I got the Wii Fit and love it so far!!! It is great if you need to take weight off slowly (which if you want to keep it off that is the only way to go). It has a chart that keeps track of your weight and BMI, so that is really cool. The reason I like it is that I am competative and this places you on every activity, like 1st, 2nd, 3rd up to 10th... so I get on and try to beat my hubby's scores, lol.... It is low impact enough that a heavier person can do it easily and get a decent workout. It has balance games, strength training, yoga and a couple others that I can't remember. There is even a game by Jillian Michaels from the biggest loser out now so you can get a great aerobic workout. I have only had it for a short time and yes, when you do it daily, you will see the pounds come off.
You can go to Cafe Mom and join for free (it is like MySpace, but for moms) and then you can join the Wii Fit Moms group. They have 41 and 11 day challenges, so you can go on there and everyone encourages eachother and you can see what kind of progress everyone else is making. There is a lady that I saw on one of the posts who had lost 20 lbs so far on her Wii Fit. So, it can be done!!!
My hubby and kids love it, you can get Wii Sports as well and that has bowling and baseball which my kids will play all day if I let them, lol.
I hope this helped!!!
