Wally world in DeFuniak has yet to get them in, but I am leaning toward getting one. Figure it would at least be a bit of exercise equipment that I could not hang clothes from. But curious if anyone has gotten and tried one yet.

The lady I work with said it has been kicking her butt. She loves it!!

Ocean Lover

Cool, mine just got her via UPS....will report soon. I'll probably start a new thread in the Health and Wellness forum where I post most often regarding fitness.

wrobert

Good idea. I bought the last one at Best Buy in PC on Sunday. Came home and set it up, and after getting the depressing news of how out of shape I am, have avoided it. Pretty sad, but plan on getting back on tonight and seeing what I can do.

So far so good. Everyone in our family did the body test yesterday and played for 30 minutes. We had it sitting on low pile carpeting and it measured our weight a few lbs less. Today we add the extra feet for higher carpet and is now more accurate. I've had the stomach flu so I didn't work out today but I did do the body test anyway. Mr OL worked out for 30 minutes with it today. He has really good balance. Just makes me look bad. Yeah, I trip when I walk....

This video really made me want one

MissCritter

I've searched everywhere & cannot find the Wii Fit. Sam's Club, Walmart & Target don't have them & don't know when they'll get them in.

Ocean Lover

Wii Fits were no where to be found anywhere up here on release day. Pre-orders were filled first. I was surprised to hear WR got one at Best Buy but good for him!

Unfortunately or fortunately, there are thousands on Ebay. I bought one here b/c I know it would be a while before more came in and I didn't feel like hunting and calling around for one. I paid about $20 more than I would have in the store but to me it was worth it.

Use justsnipe.com if you want to bid and have a price in mind that you don't want to go over. For me that was 120. with free shipping and I did better than that.

You can try Wiialerts.com to get one online, if you are near a computer throughout the day. They send emails and/or text messages when one is in stock.

Actually I just looked on the Sears website and you can do a store pickup in the Santa Rosa Mall Sears. Don't know if it's worth the drive..

Call first to confirm...I've been burnt one too many times with store computer inventory. (mostly Target)

wrobert

I was too. I think it was because they had the unit on display at the front of the store, but still in the box. I thought it was an empty box and picked it up to read the back. Seeing it was an actual boxed product I asked if it was for sale and they said it was the last one, they did not understand why no one was buying it. So I did.

Starting to get the hang of the stepping on the white board game though.

Kinda sad that it takes a video game to get people exercising, what happened to going outside and playing?

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
But if this is the result, it might not be a bad thing!

closer2fine

they are out & won't be getting any in for a while.

Ocean Lover

My son taped Mr OL doing the same thing! He was a little funnier to watch.

closer2fine

I did find one at the Sears at the SR mall. ; )

side note: I heard that they are coming out with a Wii Fit STRIPPER POLE. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/Sto...4680562&page=1

the Wii Fit is the best thing going if you have a Wii. You can unlock new games, and track your fitness level. It's worth twice the price of admission....got ours on pre-order through Amazon.

Ocean Lover

comes out today.......................

closer2fine

I mainly bought it for the Wii Fit (for myself) - but my kids love the Wii Ski, Mario Kart & Rayman Raving Rabbits. Game Stop has been great for checking out the older games at better prices than Wally World or Amazon.com.

I played Wii Fit for the first time tonight. AMAZING. I am worn out- Will and I raced each other running- I was kicking his butt until he had a burst of speed at the end. Yes, we were sweating. The tightrope, hula hoop, and ski jumping are a blast, and the few yoga sections I tried were really great.

Now I have to figure out how to get it!!

Ocean Lover

Got it last night...bought the bundle since we needed an extra guitar anyway. And I had a $15 off coupon from a local store. I like a lot of the songs. The kids are finding it challenging ...as they should. I'm like...why would you want to beat the game right away anyway. Sam says Aerosmith songs are extremely long. I say...more for your money. I'm going to play after kids are in bed...I don't need a bunch of know it alls telling me I'm doing it wrong!
