So which of you are going to splurge for a Wii Fit then?

Have to love the Penny Arcade comic about this.

I've heard they are working on a pole dancing add on.

 

now that I would pay for a few people i know to have.

 

They were advertising them for £55 in my local Tesco but you couldn't reserve one. I might get one in a few months time as I've just spent £600 on a media center PC.

 

I must resist. I've also made a back of the mind note not to buy the rock band peripherals when it eventually gets out. Nope sir not me, never gonna buy em no way no how

 

Too much like exercise for me!!

 

Phew!!!!!!!! Thats enough of that!!!
Wheres my fags????

 

Do you think, if we kick the Kat, it might help you kick the habit?

 

Actually that looks pretty interesting. I think the yoga is out though. I really don't like the idea of ending with my own foot stuck up my arse or something broken.

 

We could all pitch in and get lee one of those!

 

Seriously?? Whoop - that'd be so groovy!

 

I don't see the point to be honest. If you want to get fit go for a walk or something, me I'd rather have a curry and some beer

 

Christ. I'm dying!!!!!

The missus decided that she wanted to get a Wii with Wii Fit. So we've now got one, and had about 30 mins each day.

Apparently. I'm obese! I certainly wouldnt associate my form with Obese. Overweight certainly, but not obese. Thats according to the BMI of course.

It's actually quite fun, and you get scores, which are on a (shared) leaderboard for each game. It certainly introduces a competitive element to the exercising.

 

I was surprised you don't have to be that overweight to be obese.

when a lot of these tv programs and the news talk about been obese .. really there talking about morbidly obese.

But i normally get my daily exercise changing the channel when such programs are on.



... have you lost any weight from it?

I lost weight just from sweating over the price of it!! and the thought of using it breaks me out into another sweat!

 

I was down 1lb on the first day, but apparently you can fluctuate from +-2lbs in any given day.

I'm only just on what they classify as Obese. Various reviews also seem to indicate that its a bit like brain training. not something to take too seriously. Although using the weight they gave me here agrees with the obesity rating. need to have a BMI of 30-39 to be considered obese: mines is 30.02.

Its relatively fun though. worth a shot if nothing else.

 

I know someone that lost a stone in ~12-14 weeks by playing a wii 40 mins a day.
Thats impressive if you hate other forms of exercise.

For the wii fit to live up to its name i would expect to do significantly better

I think the game is a fantastic idea...some believe F*** that im not working out, but the whole exercise thing is apparently quite fun and its supposed to be a fantastic "game". I might get one on preowned or something because £60 for a game is a tad too much. I guess it depends on the way you look at it, as its not really a game in many respects.

 

Its several games I think and a peripheral.

I don't think its that much, when you think that some decent digital scales are nearly on 30 pounds these days.

I just lost a stone, by adding 2 long walks a week (6 miles plus each), I also cut out beer as i was drinking too much in the evenings (I still have one or two at weekends)... luckily I eat well.. a home cooked meal everyday, fruit and fresh veg.

ive been all over the place today trying to get one as im a tad overweight and it doesnt seem to be shifting with just walking and eating healthily, will have to keep looking for one and hope it doesnt finish up propping the door open ...
