Nintendo Wii

Now you've had the use of your daughters you'll have to get your own one Jan. What about looking in cash convertors or ebay, I'm sure loads of people will be getting rid of wii's as they've had new x boxes etc for Christmas.

[Skippy]

I've got that on order, but I'm not sure if it's what I want - it might be going back or on Ebay!

I'm loving the Wii Fit though - tonight I did step, rhythm boxing, jogging, hula hooping (I'm improving!) and some toning exercises. It's such good fun that I don't feel like I'm exercising!

[Julie]

You're doing well Skip! I like the yoga exercises and am even a yoga master on some....mmmm think they're trying to flatter me [:D]

I also like the balancing games....just glad no-one can see me doing some of them,bet I look a sight [:D]

[Skippy]

Have you tried the bird one, or am I the only one mad enough to do it?!?!

I haven't tried the yoga yet but I'm sure I'll be as useless at that as I am everything else!

[kallis3]

Well done Skip!

We fell about laughing at daughter's fiance doing the yoga!

[Julie]

I don't thonk we have a bird game on ours??? I shall have to check that out.....hubby's busy trying to be Tiger Woods at the moment. As long as its only his golfing skills he's trying to emulate [:D][:D]

[Skippy]

I was about to say being Tiger Woods probably isn't something to aspire to!

Birds Eye Bulls Eye is on the multiplayer section of the Wii Fit Plus - it really made my arms ache so I presume it was doing some good! Your Mii is in a bird suit and you have to flap your arms to make it move and try and land it on a target.

[Julie]

Ahh - I haven't got wii fit plus, just wii fit. So you will have to flap around all by yourself [:D]

[Skippy]

Oh well, it looks like I'm on my own!

[plasticdaft]

That bird game is very hard,tiring on the arms and I never lean far enough forward to move!!!

[Skippy]

Oh I was moving, just not in the right direction - I was going round in circles!

[Julie]

Mmmm i don't think much of the Biggest Loser on Wii. They don't really go through the exercises with you, so if you don't know what you're doing, its quite easy to injure yourself.

I'm only on day 3 so will stick at it...but I don't think its any better than the texercise programmes on wii fit.

Be great if anyone could give feedback on games they've got.

[kallis3]

I'm still waiting to get one - having to rely on the daughter's at the moment when she is home.

[Skippy]

Don't say that Julie, I've got The Biggest Loser on order! I'm actually thinking of sending it back as I really like the games on Wii Fit.

The games we've got are:
Sports
Sports Resort
Wii Fit Plus
Who Wants to be a Millionnaire (I needed something to stretch my mind!)

Sports Resort is much better than Sports, but I have to say the Wii Fit is my favourite.

I'm going to ressurect my Wii tomorrow, dust it off and get using it..promise, half hour a day....I CAN DO IT!
