Re: For the Wii People

Kinda like the power pad...but alot more advanced.

Wii Fit measures alot of your bodies characteristics, mainly focusing on your balance and center of gravity. In the 7 days I've been playing it for an hour a day I have lost 4-6 pounds. It weighs you, it measures your center of gravity basically and incorperates your balance into about 9 different games. Then you have strength training, aerobics, and Yoga on there as well. I find the Yoga good for stretching, then do the aerobic boxing (which is kinda like the old Tie Bo minus the kicking). In all honesty I find my knee doesn't hurt as much now after an ACL injury when I was young because I'm not walking on my right leg as much as I used to. I know it's only been a week, but you start thinking about alot of things with it.

And the boxing with weights is a killer, especially when you "free for all" at the end of a round.
