The Wii Fit is the best purchase that I've made in recent years.  It took me a long while to find one to purchase, but it was well worth the hunt.  Prior to acquiring the Fit, I was a couch potato for the most part.  My daily execise was playing outside with the dogs each day, but that wasn't enough to do much for me healthwise.  The Wii Fit provides a wonderful way to get the lazy me up and off the couch.  It's as amusing as video game playing, but provides exercises that help build strength, balance and weight loss.  With a combination of Yoga, Strength Training, Aerobics and Balance games, this wonderful invention has something for everyone.

The Wii Fit board is nicely sized.  Even my big, sized 10 feet are able to fit on it without any trouble.  The available exercises are fun and yet challenging and have enough options to make each day's workout unique from the day before. 

I worried about losing interest in the Wii Fit after a short span of time, but so far that has not happened.  I've already seen the scale numbers drop nicely since I started my Wii Fit workouts a few months back.  Mixing the various activities keeps me from getting bored or giving up on it.  The personalized Mii and Wii Board keep me motivated to watch the numbers change and I push myself to beat my best scores each day. 

Another great feature is the ability to keep track of the workouts, BMI and weight with each workout. The body test keeps me informed of how I'm doing and if my physical age is older or younger than my actual age. 

All told the Wii Fit is well worth the money and any hunting that one has to do in order to actually purchase one.  Fun and fitness are a winning combo for the Wii and a winning combo for anyone looking to get up and exercise.
