We use Wii Fit - it's fun, and keeps us moving, ya know? It actually got me running again (jogging in place), and I hate to run.
It has a lot of balance games, and aerobic, and strength. I think it has some yoga stuff as well, but I haven't tried any of it.
The Wii also came with some games, and I use the bowling game.
We're retired, but I don't think of us as being seniors - we're 57 and 56.

Good to know! Thanks!
As to your being "seniors" I know what you mean but it seems that being "senior" and being "retired" go hand in hand. No offence intended to anyone who retired sooner than 65 was ment.  |

Well, the verdict is in on how the Wii performs for us. WE THINK IT'S GREAT AND A TON OF FUN!!!
Now mind you I'm 63 & wife is 62 and we need to get loose and toned which means getting off the couch. Much to my amazement the Wii does that very well while providing a great deal of fun in the process.
Highly recommended! Yes, Indeed!  |

We set up the Fit and used it some. Great way to exercise. Looks like I'm going to get into Yoga after all... I got into a "game" where you hold the controller sideways and run in place to pedal a bike. The controller steers. You ride around an island running into objects then find a final goal. Good 9 minute workout.
We have been alternating between bowling, golf, Mario Kart and Mario Galaxy.
Highly recommended and a lot of fun!
