I'm beginning to think this Wii thing might be a good idea, it sounds fun.

I don't think Wii Fit has a big enough replayability factor to get you fit based on it's in game exercises alone but the monitoring capabilities of it makes me feel it's worth the money.

I get all that monitoring stuff at my gym. Plus I think cause someone else is keeping an eye on it for me it motivates you more. So not quite worth it for me I don't think.

Can you buy add ons for it though to vary the fitness routines? I would imagine even if you can't at the moment this will be introduced at some point.

See while I agree with Lorna generally, I don't actually like going to the gym. So the idea of trying out the WiiFit in my home appeals..... although I'd still rather go out and play tennis or squash.....

They do plan to release downloadable updates to the game but I don't know if that means more exercises.

I just find it so fun to monitor my BMI every day and see how I'm progressing to my goals by looking at the graphs.

I need to get fit again, I injured myself awhile again and had to give up the gym, the only thing that is putting me off going back is that I've put on a few pounds and am now completely out of shape, I don't want to go back and hear people saying "god she used to be really fit, hasn't she let herself go", I want to get fit before I go back, which doesn't make sense I know.

Will people remember you at the gym though? I know at my gym people come and go and I don't remember a single face.

They'd remember, we did exercises classes together too, I was seeing some of these people 5 or 6 times a week.

I think my gym is too big then. I'm sure they won't think that though, I'm sure your fitness is still relatively high, and after a few hard weeks you can get back to your old self and not worry about those people.

Yeah, at my gym we get a meeting after every 6 weeks with one of the trainers who will monitor our progress and adjust our exercise programme if need be. This can be from changing the toning exercises you do to the weight you lift to an extended warm-up/cool-down and increased cardio. Every programme you get only lasts an hour though.

I hate gyms!!! Hence why I have a multigym and running machine, and cycling machine in my house. I've also got some weights, a stupid ab cruncher, a hula hoop, and a big inflatable ball thing. But I've really enjoyed the Wiifit so far. I've not unlocked everything so I'm not bored yet. Hopefully they will realease extra exercises and games for the board. It would be silly not to, considering how much money the game is generating.

Your absolutely right, generally no one will remember you. However, if guy regularly saw you there and thought you were hot then it's a different story.

Isn't it called a gym/exercise ball.
I've got one of them.
