The Top Five Best Reasons A Girl Like You Needs To Get A Wii Fit

We are completely loving Wii Fit. Why? It's all about balance, which doesn't seem all that important after you've eaten a pint of Cookie Dough ice cream. But the thing is, if you have good balance, it means you're already working your abs. So Wii Fit comes along and makes sure that you focus on doing everything in conjunction with balance -- and you get to work out at home. Holy shot! Who knew that would be so hard? But it is hard, and it is fun, too!

The Top Five Best Reasons A Girl Like You Needs To Get A Wii Fit:

1. Wii Fit makes exercise fun. It's impossible to get bored doing aerobics.
2. You'll finally understand what it means to compete against yourself.
3. Although it's costly up front, Wii Fit more than pays for itself when you factor in saving the money you'd normally spend on gym dues and the gallons of gas your car guzzles getting to the gym.
4. You'll finally have something interactive and fun to do with your friends (and, yep, even your family).
5. This is something you can do in front of the TV that doesn't require eating! And you can even watch TV while you do it!

The best thing about Wii Fit is that you never get bored exercising. In fact, you can compete against yourself and beat your best scores, and/or compete against a friend and beat their best scores. And all of that is fun x pi squared to the gazillionth.

You have yoga to do, balance games, strength training and aerobics... and, by the way, who knew aerobics could be so exciting?! Boxing, Dancing, Running... all very interactive.

Can you cheat? Yes, but no real exerciser -- or competitor -- wants to cheat.

With Wii Fit you earn points that help you to earn a brighter, more gold score thingie... and the more hours you put in, the more new games open up to you.

Oh, wait, we forgot to tell you about the balance games. You get to walk a tightrope; try to walk within a bubble and not pop it; try to move your body so you can roll marbles on top of a very unsteady table, in order to drop the marbles into holes. And you have snowboarding and downhill ski slaloming and downhill ski jumping... and the list goes on and on.

Forget plunking your money into potato chips and then the health club. Save up and get the Wii Fit. Your thighs will thank you, your heart will thank you. And, best of all, your good moods will return and you'll be in love with life all over again.

We think it's that good!

Thast's cool but it costs a ton!

lil' lily on 8/4/2008 4:20:48 PM

MOD Does the wii fit make u lose pounds or just make u stronger? Cause losing a couple of pounds sound great to me!

Hey babes, it might make you lose a pound or so but in all honesty, nothing beats actual exercise, its the only way to get your heart rate up. xoxo JANA

Girly Girl on 8/4/2008 5:32:12 PM

Exercising is almost always fun anyway...if you're doing aerobics, I mean. ;)

superchic on 8/4/2008 5:45:23 PM

Wow, that sounds really cool, if you have a wii, which i don't and i never intend to buy one. But good for Wii fans

JustThatGirl13 on 8/4/2008 6:03:01 PM

I agree w/ lil'lily

I already have a ps2, and my parents would think its silly to get a wii + plus wii fit. it DOES cost a lot!

polka-dot-love on 8/4/2008 6:14:22 PM

That's all nice and stuff...But who the hell can get a Wii? I mean, if you already have one, that's cool. But I don't. D:< Really, uncool. Put up more workouts everyone can do without breaking the bank. >.>;;;

how much does wii fit cost
ps:i already have a wii.

Hey Girl, I'm not sure exactly how much it costs but you should research diff stores websites so you make sure you can get the best deal. Check Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, and other stores like that. ~Callie

purplepixie on 8/5/2008 7:25:57 AM

label-free♥ on 8/5/2008 3:14:12 PM

Hey purplepixie! I have wii fit. You don't only have to buy the game but you have to get a balance board too. OS i don't know how much it costs. I have it and it is totally fun. It tells you how much weight you have lost or gained and helps you with your set goal of a weight. plus, it gives you your BMI. How AWESOME!

luv2shop112 on 8/5/2008 6:38:45 PM

Hey I have the Wii Fit!!

When I first got it, I had a lot of fun with it! I used it like a half hour everyday. But actually, after awhile, it DID start to get boring.. AND depressing. Like if you gained two pounds it would make it all a big kinda deal and ask you why you gained weight and everything. Plus, One time it said I gained five pounds, so I tried it again after like 10 minutes, and then it said I lost 7 pounds! It was really dumb.

Soo, basically I DO recommend it, but I truly say... Just use it for the exercises! Dont get all caught up in the weighing part, because its not THAT accurate, and it gets really annoying!

i love da wii fit its so fun it has so many games to play its just impossible ta get bored on its. i played for lyk and hour once and the wii told me i needed to take a break but it was just so fun.

bluebear7 on 8/6/2008 12:02:57 AM

Okay..so I hate that I have to ask this...being so out of the loop on modern video game systems...
BUT!
Is the Wii Fit a game that you can buy for your Wii game system/console? Like Mario Party or something of the likes? Or is it a whole different system?
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP MY CONFUSION!!
It sounds really cool and I have been wanting a Wii. Let me know asap.

dancer4511 on 8/6/2008 2:21:09 PM

Can you ever, maybe, make a giveaway month with the wii and wii fit for the grand prize? Wink Wink!

green56 on 8/13/2008 8:07:19 PM

I have a Wii Fit. It's SO much fun, and my whole family uses it! The first day we got it, me and my friends played for hours! My muscles were sore the next day from playing so much and not warming up! I'll take that as a sign! It's great, because you can play video games, but not feel guilty about the lack of doing something constructive- because you are!

ash_bash08 on 8/14/2008 2:53:21 PM

The Wii Fit balance games are some of the funnest! I like how you can do the Free Run or Step while you're watching TV!

ash_bash08 on 8/14/2008 2:54:28 PM

Instead of sitting on my butt while I'm watching TV I do the Free Run or Free Step while I'm watching my favorite shows!

ash_bash08 on 8/14/2008 2:55:19 PM

I agree with xsarahx24-- it DOES get boring after a while. I would play for hours every day when I first got mine, but now I don't play it as often. It's not that it's boring, I just lost the thrill of getting to play.

ash_bash08 on 8/14/2008 2:57:39 PM

☺☻☺☻☺☻☺☻☺☻☺☻☺
I would highly suggest investing in a Wii Fit!
