Over a Year Later Still Enjoying Wii Fit Plus

It has been more than a year since I purchased and began using my Wii Fit Plus. I remember at the time my oldest son thought it was stupid. How can you get fit using a balance board and some games on the television screen? I wasn’t sure at the time it was going to work either. After all, it was more fun than work to do many of the interactive activities. But as I began to create my own workout routines, I found it was actually more challenging that I thought. Here are the greatest benefits I have found … Continue reading →

The Truth Sometimes Hurts

The truth really can hurt. I have been learning this with my new Wii Fit Plus game. I turn it on and my little animated Balance Board is quick to tell me if I haven’t been on it for a few days. Okay, like I really need that reminder. There are also some exercise routines that I’m not so good at. It’s usually an issue of being uncoordinated. I will sometimes hear, “You didn’t even break a sweat, did you?” Or my trainer will tell me that I am very unbalanced. The worst is when I take my body test. … Continue reading →

A Review of Wii Fit Plus

I am so excited about sharing this review. Last week I wrote in my blog, Fitness and Video Games, how the American Red Cross was endorsing two Nintendo Wii games, Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit Plus.

Well okay, I take that back, from the moment my 11-year old helped me set everything up I was completely sold on this … Continue reading →

Fitness and Video Games

Nintendo Wii is now being endorsed by the American Heart Association. Who would have ever thought that video game systems could go to this level? For some time I have been hearing about how great Wii Fit is. We own a Wii system and have a few games but I wasn’t ready to invest in something that I didn’t feel very sure about. A few days ago I ordered Wii Fit Plus and not only am I excited about it but so are my kids. What finally sold me is watching a good friend of mine lose weight by changing … Continue reading →

Which Wii Fitness Game Should You Choose?

Since the weather has gotten a bit cooler, I am anticipating that my mornings walking and running outside are a but numbered. The goose bumps I get as I start out are a clear indication that although the fall may be perfect for exercising outdoor, the winter surely won’t. I remember when Wii Fit came out and how I really wanted to get this game, to help me do some indoor workouts. A friend of mine who borrows the game on occasion says that she loves it. It is a bit pricey when you factor in having to use a … Continue reading →

Wii Fit Can Get You in Shape

I have to admit that I have become a Biggest Loser fan. I stayed away from previous seasons, since I am not generally one to watch reality shows, but got hooked on this one, in spite of the obvious product placements. It was inspiring. And now I am looking forward to seeing the new Wii Fit product in action. In fact, it might even require that we purchase a Wii. Wii Fit is anticipated here soon in the United States and is seen as the next big thing from Nintendo. It was released in Japan back in December, and it … Continue reading →
