I purchased mine on launch day and couldn’t wait to get home and set it up. I had a tough time walking away from it to go wait in line for Indy 4.

My partner and I are hoping it will get us couch potatoes in shape. So far we are trying to get some good 30 min. workouts in at least everyother day if not every day.

I preordered and received the wii fit on launch day and will be saving it for Christmas. Yes, I can wait that long.
The wii is such a good ‘family’ console and the balance board was one (of many) reason why I chose the wii console over its competitors.
I’ll lower the age range to 4 as my 4year old daughter catches on pretty darn quick!

Unfortunately, I’m too heavy for the Wii Fit. I have lost about 25 pounds in the last two months, so I’m working my way to it!

@ Amber

ha, that’s one of the greatest things about the Wii… I dont think I’ve ever seen a system that had an age range from 5-70 before…last thanksgiving, my grandma and I played Wii bowling together…it’s the first time I’d ever seen her play a video game

Got the 2yr old twins, 6yr old, husband and myself up at 0530 today to be at the store when they opened for our wii fit. It is GREAT! I love it all! My parents came over tonight to check it out…Gramma hula hooping was a HOOT! We got it for fun…but who knows, maybe this is what will get us motivated to be more fit. If nothing else to be #1 !

Buying today — my wife pre-ordered. While we are interested in the exercise aspect of it, our primary motivation is fun. If it happens to help us get healthier, nice bonus.

JohnnyV - it works on our carpet - and yes, it’s pretty precise. I’m amazed. And I’ve had a lot of fun with it already.

@ Lori

yea, I’ve had my fair share of sit-ins, and over night line waiting

@TinChan

you said it’s precise and stiff, is this on carpet?

I got mine 5 days ago, and me and my GF both like it. The balace games are fun, and some of the aerobics are quite nice, too.

We both do all exercises together- so I actually miss a feature: Some kind of “hot-seat-mode” where you can switch quickly between two Players.

The balance board is really precise, stiff and I hope it will be used in other games…
