The Nintendo Wii Fit has amazed most people that have used it and this is not for just losing weight, people have gained a lot more insight into their body, posture and worked muscles they never knew they had. Now that its been around a week since we did our first hands-on with the Nintendo Wii Fit, we should take a look at the results in weight loss and balance.
When we took some photos of the box, contents and Balance Board the first impressions were good. After one hour of personally using Wii Fit I was impressed even more by the amount you can do in this relatively low priced package of Wii Fit and the Balance Board. On the next day of using Nintendo’s new fitness gadget, I found working out for just one hour the day before had not even touched the amount of exercises you can do, so I moved onto more advanced Yoga and Muscle exercises, these worked parts of my body I have never worked out in this way before.
It amazed me that just using one simple device can achieve so much; it’s not just the technology but also the personal help from the Wii Fit trainer that helps improve technique and fitness. One week on I have lost 3lbs, quit the gym and feel much more relaxed and an improvement of fitness and breathing already.
Last night a member of the family popped in for 5 minutes and as I told them how good the Wii Fit was, they laughed and said “What that piece of plastic?” oh so little they know. This shows, that until you have used Nintendo’s Wii Fit, you have not got a clue.
If you have used Nintendo Wii Fit, let us know how much weight you have lost and how it has made you feel.

I just brought a wii fit 5 days ago. I really like the yoga - it’s just as good as when I went to actual yoga classes, only I can do it in the comfort of my own lounge. I’ve lost 2lbs in 5 days (which your body can fluctuate anyway)…but I’m aiming to lose 5lb in the first 2 weeks to get to a bmi just above 22.
Will update when I’ve had it longer.
Update…i’ve now lost 1stone 4lbs in 80days…i’m not quite so dedicated as I was…using it only 3 days a week - the trainers is getting really boring!
I lost 5 pounds in a week, so far.
I just got the wii fit yesterday for christmas, i played on it for half an hour today and at the end i did the body test,
my bmi has gone down and ive lost 3 lb’s
WOW
im going on it in a minute, its addictive
I was wondering when I get Wii fit how many minutes a day and what exercises would you recomend?
Thanks!!! x
I have just bought the Nintendo wii. I love the idea that is it play insted of the word exercise. It is fun and before I know it Iam sweating buckets and laughing my head off I have not done any excerise where and am laughing through the pain. I woke up in the morning and I was in serve exercise workout muscle pain. It felt good. My guess is that if I do an hour a day. I will get rid of my bulk belly in no time. I am in love. I think it will be a little addictive. I have to watch myself. It has taken me 10 years to put on .
I’m only a teenager, and I bought a Wii and a Wii Fit simply to help reach my goal of losing weight.
I’ve had it for a while, but I just opened the box a week ago. I’ve never enjoyed exercising, and I hate running.
However, I’ve lost 4 pounds this week, and I’m not on a diet. It makes you aware of your posture, your balance, and your overall strength. Although you can lose weight and not change your diet, it makes you really self concious about your eating. Also, it doesn’t use numbers to make you feel down on yourself, but rather it shows your progress through graphs.
I LOVE WII FIT.
I bought Wii Fit October of 2008. I first Wiied in at 174 lbs.
By January 2009 I weighed 154.5 lbs. Then my Wii board broke. I was finally able to replace it on the 26th of May. My weight had crept back up to 157.3 while I was sitting around doing nothing. But I have only skipped Wii Fit one day since I got my new board and I am down to 153.2 Lbs. What is that 4 pounds in a week?! Wii Fit rocks and the best part is I don’t have to expose my pale skin to the damaging rays of the sun to exercise. I am well on my way to my goal of 147 by July 9th. I’ll be visiting an old friend I haven’t seen in 10 years and I want her to be impressed.
I lost 22 poounds in 3 month. I do 30 - 60 minutes a day and it’s soooo much fun. I love my wii fit.
