Has anyone bought one of these?

I bought one this weekend and when I combine it with 40 minues of cardio on the elliptical I really feel like I'm getting a great workout.

Just wondering if anyone else is enjoying their Wii Fit..

I bought one of these but have put it up as a family gift for Christmas. I'll let you know in a few months.

I have a Fit. I use it as my scale, and balance exercises. The GF uses it for the yoga.

I love it.

My wife has one and loves it. She does the yoga, and has gotten better at it.

I tried it a few times, but lost interest.

Funny thing is, she told me the other day that the Fit was asking "Where is Leggo, we haven't seen him lately"

I told her to tell the Fit to butt out, and stop trying peer pressure tactics on me

My kids really want this. I have been thinking about buying one also. My daughter is in the 7th grade and for some reason does not have PE this year. I have been giving her my own PE class. She seems to think this will work in place of that and will be more fun. Thoughts? seems like a lot of money to spend if it doesnt work.

Get on YouTube and search "WiiFit Girlfriend"

Lot's of vids of college guys recording their significant others hula-hooping. Quite a laugh.

We've really considered one as well. I thought it would be a nice supplement to my normal exercising and something the whole family could enjoy.
The positive comments help, so I might look into it some more. How hard are they to get now a days?

I have a Wii and LOVE it. I have been wanting to buy the Fit, but the store near me has been sold out.

I will tell you that I have the sports that come with the system and they leave me sore for days. Especially the boxing. I'm addicted to the tennis and get "Wii Arm" after I play. Now I don't think it's a good workout for someone that already is at the gym many times a week. But for people like me, it's great and it's fun.

They also have Dance Dance Revolution for it and that's a great workout. I bought that game, but I'm still in the learning process, but it seems to be a good get up and get your butt moving.

I would recommend the Wii to most people!
