i bought the wii system and wii fit last month. i spent a lot of money on this and then it just sat there. i have barely touched it. part of it was lack of motivation, part of it was because we got some really nice weather towards the end of october and beginning of november so i seized the opportunity to go hiking. i would rather be out doors and the reason behind getting a wii was so i could stay active over those long winter months. finally out of excuses i got everything set up and started the program. it starts out by doing a body fit test. asking your date of birth and height, then having you step on the board to get your weight and calculate your bmi. it informed me that i was overweight. i know, it’s why i joined jc, but then it gave my little mii a pot belly! she looks down and her eyes get really big and she looks horrified! it was demoralizing! (good thing i have a decent sense of humor and can laugh at myself) the weight was accurate to within two pounds of jc. it charts your weight loss progress for you. i did everything but the a few of the strength training exercises, with my knees being what they are, especially with all the stiffness and pain in the left knee some of those moves are well beyond my ability right now. it did inform me that i had less stability in the right knee than the left. i found that amazing since it’s the left that has been hurting and the right feels just fine. the more time you log on the fit system the more credit you earn, and the more exercises it unlocks for you. i spent an hour on the system just playing games without even realizing how much time had passed. you are so focused on the games you don’t realize just how hard you are actually working!
