Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii Fit intensity?

I'm a horribly lazy person, and have been thinking about picking up Wii Fit to supplement my sedatary lifestyle, but I've read that as a workout,  Wii Fit doesn't doesn't perform well in contrast to regular exercise.

 

So I'm curious, exactly how intense is a 1-hour session of Wii Fit?

unnnn, depending on what you do it can be crazy intense >.> I mean, if you just do balance games, you won't get much of a workout, but strength training and aerobics will give you a workout.

Yoga just makes you sore from stretching >.>

I honestly get tired after ~20-30 min.

I do some Yoga and some physical exercise. And I may do aerobics. I dunno.

But it does make you tired. And you will feel sore later. But it's totally worth it. XD



Where did you read it doesn't perform well to regular exercise? Everything I read goes against that, or was from people who haven't tried it.

Some have said it doesn't compare to weight lifting for strength training, but that is a specific type of exercise, and from the sounds of it you will have a ways to go before you will outgrow it's activities.



It wouldnt sell very well if it didnt work now would it....of course it provides a good work out



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

well, I hear from many that it would be intense, I think it has to be intense to make sure you lose weight,
I think its similar to playing wario ware or wii sports in one hour, don' know for sure...

Yes, it would, because it's on the Wii.

lol, couldn't tell if that was a joke or not^^; hopin' it is.

It might not be as good as like, going to a gym and doing a full workout with a trainer or something, but it'll definitely help you get in shape somewhat. :3 if you find the workouts too easy you can turn up the reps after playing each thing a few times^^

 It's miles ahead of playing Wii Sports or Wario Ware for an hour! I do mostly Yoga and Strength training (with some aerobics to warm up) and after an hour I'm covered in sweat and I usually hit the shower (I do my Wii Fit in the morning right after breakfast).



Signature goes here!

^ wow really,
then I can't wait to have wii fit, I don't have one yet, Didn't pre order :(
I would like to do all that exercise!
