View Full Version : Fitness Can Be Fun!
Myself and Snarfer got ourselves a Nintendo Wii Fit. Not to say that it is a laugh and does get your heart pumping. Who else has got one and what do think ?
I can say that we have not had a laugh like this in ages.
big kids at heart keep it up lol.........:lol:

The Wii Fit costed £69 out of wollies, we had the Wii console already but someone said that Tesco had it for £64. I did see the console with the fit and Wii sports in wollies and I think it was about £250 but do not quote me on that.
We couldn't get a Wii Fit - all sold out - everywhere!
Saw this trailer and thought it looked ace!

So we have ordered one online.
I love the fact that it tracks your weight and stuff.
I am looking forward to the yoga!!

It all sounds like great fun.
I went up to Tesco's last night and had sold out ,but new stocks in today.
I am not sure if I was pleased or disapointed as I had a vision of of spending a lot of money on a fad and in a couple of weeks it will be parked up along side the Bullworker ,Tredmill, Weights,etc lol:lol:. Will sombody give me that final push to convince me that it will be value for money.:confused

How did you manage to get one? :eek:
I went to Tescos yesterday and they had none and didn't know when they were getting more in.
My youngest is desperate to get one :~(
Fantastic, now we can stay in front of the tv and get fit.[lol]
we got one weekend just passed and we are all on it really good fun only thing not impressed with it said that I'm obese:~(..... but it's great fun for all the family young and old
Get out in the fresh air and do some walking you lazy sods. Maybe you would all like to end up on the whale watching thread?

I tried that and fresh air makes me hungry.lol:confused
I am back on the weight lifting and the punch boxing..
..who are you calling fat?;)
my arms really really hurt!:D
ok - ours arrived today.
Worth every penny!
I love the fact that there are scoreboards on all of the different exercises so you can compete with others (or yourself!).
You can also "unlock" new exercises and games, the more time you log on it!
I got it to give me a target of losing 1/2 a stone in a month. You can then "stamp" the calendar every time you do a session.
So easy to use!
I found the jogging the hardest work but enjoyed the "step class/dance mat" game the best!!
Great for people (like me) who feel very self conscious about exercising - I like being able to do it in the privacy of my living room!!
Have also discovered that I am a crap shot at golf after one too many G&Ts!!
Had a go of a wi today to see what all the fuss is aboot. Got to say I'm hooked on boxing.

I did manage to get the box bit from Tesco yesterday, but are still waiting for the exercise bit to come in. I got it all out of the box and had a senior moment and put it all back again. I can feel a task for the tech department coming on.lol
This is great fun, i really enjoy the yoga, never tried yoga before and finding it great fun. I have had mine a week and have already lost 3lb!! definately gets the heart rate pumping and the muscles working!!!!

If your not into the electronic exercise why not join a group of lassies with a similar attitude to exercise for some very gentle circuit training and have a laugh at each other.
Meet at the playing field in front of the where the Viewfirth club used to be at 1900 on Thursdays during the summer (thats now!!!).
You can take the session at your own pace and there will always be somebody less active than yourself so you don't have to worry.......come and try it out its free!!!!.
Loving the step one.... great fun, the jogging is a killer though.....

Went on the Wii Fit this morning and did the usual body test. When we got it I set a target to loose 4lb within a fortnight, well It has been a week and two days since I started and I have lost my 4lb !! Have put down to loose another 2lb for the next fortnight, but I reckon I will put some on as the muscle is starting to build up !!!

Thats great catnip, I bet your well chuffed.I am still waiting to get hold of the fitness bit for mine but the tennis and bowls are good fun. I think I must have lost half a stone just trying to wrestle the controls off the wife so that I can have a go.lol:lol:
these wii fits are so popular, working in woolies we are getting some in this week and they are all booked, i wouldnt want a shot on one because it tells you if you are overweight even though i am pregnant i would be mortified is a games console told me.
I'm thinking of getting one. Would anyone who has one recommend it?

I only have a dabble with golf or tennis and other games, but wiffie is into it big style. She is a technophobic and yet she has got the whole thing working for her without even reading the book. The Wii fitness board has obviously had a great deal of thought gone into it and and I can see that if you are prepared to put the time in you will find somthing on there that suits your fitness requirments.
Good luck
Just watched the trailler and am saving every extra penny til can afford one [lol]
I need to buy the Wii as well unfortunately :(.
I have played ten pin bowling on the Wii and thouroughly enjoyed it so don't mind buying the console as well is just getting the money together.
What with brain training and sight training on the Ds and this on the Wii I will soon be years younger [lol]
