I would like to see additional strength training options. One particular exercise is single leg band pulls; attach a band to a wall or post, stand on one leg facing away from the wall, and press your hands out (like a pushup, only standing on one leg). This would be a great use of the Fit, as the objective is to develop single leg strength.

Now I just need to figure out how to store the balance board.

And I just pretend the Wii workout coaches are drunk. It makes them a lot less creepy.

I agree it has drawbacks (lag, trainers, etc). It would be nice if the combos they suggested where actually linked, or I could create my own. But the con list is alot smaller than the pro list.

JenK: Everything except the hamstring curls is in the Wii Fit in one form or another. I plan on adding weights if necessary to keep it interesting & challenging.

Someone: http://www.stepmania.com/ is a site dedicated to dance mat games for the PC. And I do believe there is a PC version of DDR.

Whatever it takes, I guess.

Many console games also come out on PC, and vice versa. So far DDR, Rock Band, Guitar Hero, and Wii – things with specialized controllers – haven’t been on PC. I guess they just don’t want me to clutter up my house with those peripherals?

I looked into getting a Dance Dance Revolution for exersize purposes several years ago– but there was no way to hook it up to a computer monitor– it had to be a TV. I didn’t get it, because I don’t want to buy a TV. Looks like this has the same problem.

Since a video-game system of any kind is essentially a computer, why can’t they be hooked up to computer monitors? I don’t get it.

And yes, after a week we realized we could lose our clothes rack. I mean, treadmill. Just gotta take pictures and that behemoth will be outta here!

Some of them look like a lot of fun too: snowboarding, skateboarding, more workout-themed games, and even a cheerleading game! Don’t know if I’ll try that last one out, but maybe for my sister. haha.

Like, what sort of strength training? Example: Right now I’m doing modified squats, balance-on-one-foot, and step exercises without weights. The ankle weight is used with leg extensions, hamstring curls, and front, side, & back leg lifts.

Of course it’s all academic since we don’t have a console gaming system. I really can’t see myself paying money for another “TV accessory” – and husband specifically doesn’t want one, because his job is testing console & handheld games. Any console means “work” not “fun” for him…

Actually, we’ve had it for a month or so and we noticed that the trainers’ hair changes styles. So far the female’s hair has changed twice and the male’s hair has changed three times (I think …)

Regardless, I love this game! My fifty-year-old mum plays it to keep in shape and build good posture and balance and she adores it. I like that it tracks your weight, so that you get a constant reminder.

I will admit though, I don’t use it everyday like I should. I’m trying to get better about that, but the last few weeks have been so hot! (I know, excuses, excuses )
