Last week there was a thread about Wii Fit (I think, sorry don't remember).. I do know I didn't give to much credit to Wii Fit.. but it did make me think about my first impression of it, and I decided to give it another shot..

__________________________________________

See when Wii Fit came out my friend got it, my Wife and I went over their house to have some drinks and BS...

They bring out the Wii Fit, after the setup of the user (boring) I got to try some things out, and wasn't that impressed..

It just seemed like a waste to me, money spent and all, I mean the concept was their, but the cartoonie Wii's exercising with me just felt childish..

anyway that was my first impression..

Like I said above, talking in a thread about Wii Fit last week got me thinking.. maybe I should give another crack at it..

I ask my wife to ask her friend if I can borrow their Wii Fit, I walk down the street and pic it up...

I set it up, going though the same tedious setup process (boring still).. I do the weight test and so does my Wife and it's off??? we check our weight daily and know it was off... (more about this problem near the end of post)

I get a chance to get deeper into Wii Fit, I start from the top of the list, Yoga... Never one for it, but I'm taking an open mind approach..

I pick a trainer... and WTF is up with the edged crap graphics???  I know it's a Wii... but they could have took a little time to smooth the edges of this game... I mean damn....

After about 20min, I feel stretched, relaxed, and surprisingly toned..

I then work my way down the list to Strengthening, very little to work with like Yoga because I'm new to the program.. I have to unlock what still seems like not allot of exercises, but definitely something that will keep me busy.. Then after a bit I see it lets be go longer and harder on exercises which is what I'm looking for...

I feel the burn after about 30min of routines..

Then come the aerobics, childish Mii style, not the Trainer type people, Like Dance Dance.. I find my self getting a workout... but I think it's due to the time I have already put into the game thus far.. I get enough points and I unlock advance stepping and now I start to burn some calories..

also played some Soccer, and like the Skiing..

I guess I ramble to much...

To Topic Header...

I'm walking through the K-Mart near my house and they are closing the Store... everything is 10%-30% off..

I go to the game section and see that everything is 10%-20% off.. so  I look around... nothing must have I see..

I see some Wii's, 360's, and PS3's.. I ask the clerk if they have any Wii Fits (thinking they wouldn't) she said they have 3..

I look at my Wife and she says, shit.. why not.. (Mind you she hates anything about games or consoles)

So I pick it up for $75 tax and all....

To my surprise when opening the box today, it comes with Carpet attachments stands.. and sense I setup Wii Fit on a carpet, my settings were thrown off weight and such.. needless to say I made the adjustments and everything is they way it should be..

I'm enjoying Wii Fit and the workout..

I'm not going to sell off my workout equipment, but I am glad I made the purchase..... actually I'm glad I got a great deal on it... lol

Thanks for reading this, I know it's allot... sorry~

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.... did I f'en ramble.. I'm really Sorry... THANKS for reading it all.... lol wow...

Lol, good stuff. I'm interested in it too, not because of the Wii Fit but the Balance Board.

i stick to my weights thank you.

It's all about finding the exercises which are right for you and focus on the areas you want to improve in. The variety is pretty good, except if you want to build your upper body.

I stink at doing anything for my core and at stretching. Now I pull out Wii Fit every other day or so and do 20 minutes of yoga to stretch my spine and muscles followed by a hundred jackknives and some other core muscle exercises. I used to get headaches from a poorly aligned spine. Not anymore.

Oh yeah, and I'm gonna look into getting some ankle and wrist weights to intensify some of the exercises.

Right!! :P



















*buys Wii Fit on Saturday* :D

I'm glad to see that the stigma behind Wii Fit is slowly melting away as us "hardcore" gamers start to realize that le cazuel games can be quite fun as well.

And in this case, really useful!

well, I'm just too lazy to go outside so I'll be not lazy and work out inside while I'm being lazy which makes no sense, but I just don't want to go outside these days, the sun light hurts my eyes.

I still don't see how it's really worth $100.

Last Wii game I got was Brawl on launch date :\ lol.

yeah i had the weight problem when i first set up wii fit for my parents. Then I put on the carpet extenders, and it worked perfectly. Good to see you figured it out.

It is really weird seeing your parents play video games haha

You stick to trolling as well!

OT: glad you enjoyed it. this shows that people should give some games more time, one h might not be enough for some games.
