I'm still working out the effects of a broken foot, and the balance games in particular are doing wonders for my ankle strength (even after having gone through a month of PT.) I think this device, long-term, will be a great benefit to us. And it is fun! What more could you ask?
The Man surprised me with this over the weekend (we've had the wii about a month.) What an unmitigated BLAST this board is! The selection of yoga, aerobics, strength and balance games and exercises will give you enough variety to keep you up and moving for hours at a time. You begin with a small selection of basic exercises and as you build time, the system unlocks more and more games and variety - I don't see us tiring of this.
It is easily possible to switch back-and-forth between two people, and that adds more fun to the games, although you don't play them head-to-head.
The kids and I gave this to my husband for his birthday. I honestly couldn't figure out why he wanted this as he/we could go for a walk or jog for FREE. Well......I must say that the Wii Fit is great family fun and actually a challenge. The kids are having fun with a lot of the games and all the other training exercises. My son, who plays soccer, enjoys the soccer heading game and we enjoy watching him get hit in the "head" with soccer cleats and panda heads. I enjoyed finding out that my Wii Age was 32 -- 10 years less then what I am! My goal is to get it down to 18! Get Wii Fit and get off that couch! It's worth the price!
This is a great workout. I do not break a sweat when using this. But this is a core workout. You will work you abs, back,ect.
I knew that when I purchase it. I have unlocked all the workouts and now it is getting boring. I am hoping that Wii comes out with another workout to go with the board.
