Wii Fit - First Impressions?
I got my Wii Fit in Argos on Friday and have been using it over the weekend. My first impressions are that it seems cool, worthwhile but the fun elements are thin on the ground. It mostly seams geared towards weight loss, with that being the only target setting option available, but if you’re near to the ideal weight there doesn’t seem to be a structured way to get a lot out of it although I guess taking regular body tests to see how your body age could be enough of a hook to keep you coming back. So far I’ve enjoyed doing the Slalom balance game and have been checking out some of the yoga exercises. As quite a big guy - size 12 feet and 6ft 3 tall - I do find that my toes overlap the edge of the balance board and it’s hard to find a space to do the yoga postures without my hands touching the ceiling.
Have you got your Wii Fit yet? What do you make of it?

I think it’s fun, but it definitely needs to be used in addition to something else - like running or other cardio. I don’t think it’s enough on its own. I like it though.
