Do you own any, and if so, tell us about your experiences.
I'm too poor atm to get Wii Fit and I'm not sure I want it anymore, because last week I picked up for $30 Wii My Fitness Coach. Now, it isn't actually a "game" so much as a tailored fitness class.
All you need is your wii controller and honesty. Every three days you put into the system things like weight, measurements and results of short fitness evaluations.
When you decide to work out you choose duration (in 15 min increments), focus (eg. flexibility, upper, lower, core, yoga, cardio), location and music. You even have the option to add hand weights, an exercise ball, a stepper and or a heart rate monitor. These are added to the workout. Right now I only own 3kg hand weights. I've taken to working out at least an hour a day, I even did a total of 2.5hrs two days ago.
I am by nature LAZY when it comes to fitness. Prior to this I'd never attended an aerobics class and haven't been to a gym in a long time, however, I oddly find this enjoyable and will take up another workout straight after I've finished one. In less than a week I am already experiencing toning and my fitness has dramatically increased. I've even taken to wearing 1.15kg ankle weights, just so I can get an extra workout.
I am just so impressed with this "game" and implore anyone considering a workout DVD to get this instead for that personal experience.
