A friend gave this to us, and we love it. I was in a bad accident 13 years ago that shattered my legs, dislocated both ankles and ripped up all the tendons and joints in my ankles. In casts with pinned bones in my upper legs, I was unable to do any physical therapy for my ankles to deal with the tendon problems. As a result my balance is bad, my ankle strength is bad, and I can't bend either ankle completely. The only exercise I do regularly is swimming, since it's the only one that really gives me a workout without being incredibly painful, or simply impossible. Even that I can't do nearly as often as I'd like, holding down two full time jobs. So, to sum up: busy, sore, stiff, overweight and tired a lot. Enter the Wii fit. It couldn't be more perfect.

The yoga has helped me stretch out comfortably. The exercises are just the right length and intensity for someone like me. The games are fun and keep you coming back for more, while helping you work up to greater stamina and flexibility. The best part is that you don't have to travel to a gym, shower and change for the pool and then shower and change again afterward, or anything like that. No matter how busy the day is, there's 20 minutes for Wii. Doing the Wii fit has gotten me flexible and strong enough to do some light aerobics with My Personal Trainer (also on Wii), which is a much harder workout than the Fit. Now, if your goal is serious, hard-core exercising to get the perfect body, then go to the gym. Wii fit won't help you there. But if your like I think most of us are and just want to stay reasonably fit and active, Wii is highly to be recommended.
