I honestly use Wii Fit as a motivating daily gauge of how I’m doing in terms of keeping myself in check. It is a bit of fun, sometimes challenging (yoga hurts–I’ve never been flexible, but hot damn if I want to fix that). Of course, if you actually want to lose weight, you are going to have to do some hardcore activity outside of the game as well–the game even asks you to record such activity.

The game also tends to focus on your sense of balance and posture which honestly, we all do need work on. It makes you more aware of the way you stand and balance yourself really, and occasionally gives nifty tips about health in general. It’s a cute fun way to stand up instead of moping around the house if you’re not going out to work out. It should be kept in mind though that it should never be used a sole alternative in one’s lifetime to keep in shape.

I actually got the wii fit a day or so early and I've been using it every day. It's sort of perfect for me because I really hate the gym. I do about an hour a day and after only a week I feel like my posture is better and, according to the wii fit, I've lost about a pound and a half.

But I'm not a fitness freak by any stretch of the imagination. It gets me active (as opposed to sitting around all day, writing or wasting time on the internet)with a wide range of different activities and I really love it.

I personally don't think it would work for me. I once decided that Dance Dance Revolution was going to be my main source of cardio – and that lasted about a week. But I could see how for some it would work. For example, a freshman living in a dorm with enough space to hook it up (and not a lot of time to hike to the gym)…or someone older like my Mom who isn't looking for huge weight loss results and doesn't have a lot of time/money to spend on a gym membership. Basically, I think it's different for everyone…but I prefer being outside and/or at the gym.
