Honestly, the sports CD is doing enough for me. Having a child berate me into using it more wouldn't hurt either! I absolutely agree that a Wii is better than a treadmill. I haven't been this excited to exercise in years. Never boring, and an awesome workout. Enjoy! Staci — You’re right about not needing Wii Fit. Honestly, the sports CD is doing enough for me.

My nephew got one for Christmas and forced me to play with him (okay, maybe I volunteered). I haven't been that sore in a long time. If you want to work your arms, try one of the Star Wars games. You'll be lucky if you lift an envelope the next day. I'll be 33 next month, and I'm not too proud to say that I plan on asking Santa for one next Christmas myself. It's a lot more fun than my treadmill. <abbr><em>Staci’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.justbloggled.com/2009/01/birthday-wishes-and-chocolate-cake.html">Birthday Wishes and Chocolate Cake Dreams</a></abbr></em> You don’t need the Wii Fit to find your abs or any other underused muscle, just the regular Wii and an overzealous eight-year-old.

That's where I found mine. I didn't stand a chance getting it at the big box stores. I've done the boxing only once and you're right. It's probably the highest calorie burner of them all. I won't do it again until I'm in better shape. I don't want to die. Ian Brodie — Try smaller gaming stores. That’s where I found mine. I didn’t stand a chance getting it at the big box stores.

Decathlon? It'd kill me. Yes, I know about being able to download games. They make it so easy for you to buy new and cool things! Have fun and be safe. Eli -- Yes, the boxing is the absolute worst thing for me. Too much activity for my out-of-shape body. But it is fun. I just need to be in better shape before I try it again. What a workout! JD at I Do Things -- Get one, stat! Lin -- It's amazing. We all think that bowling is "just bowling," but it's much more than that. Arms and side hurt a lot after the first time I played. Maybe we'll do Raving Rabids after I can make it through hula-hooping for more than 3 minutes. Not kidding. Becca — I can barely handle Wii Fit’s little jogging test. Decathlon? It’d kill me.

I finally gave up today and ordered it online. My major injury was playing our latest game: the summer olympics. My husband and I played each other and did decathlons. Lets just say, I was so sore after a few hours that I could not move without pain.. and was in pain for three days. I'm extremely excited about the wii fit. Also, did you know you can download games? I downloaded all the old school nintendo games, they are a nice break from the craziness. :) <em>Becca's last blog post..<a href='http://grayandbecca.com/blog/2008/08/29/holiday-weekend/' rel="nofollow">Holiday Weekend</a></em> We got a Wii a few months ago and started searching for the Wii Fit.
