I am thinking about buying a Wii with WiiFit Plus and wanted to know the good and the bad about it.
Because I am out of the house from 7-7 I find it difficult to get to the gym or the pool. I get on/ off the bus one stop earlier and I walk for about an hour an day. I am also trying to use the stairs at work instead of the lift but I am very, very unfit. Yesterday when I was walking to the bus I really went for it and was striding away, a little short of breath, feeling my pulse rate climbing and starting to sweat when two teenagers just strolled past me, chatting away, seemingly with no effort at all! Although it is better than the time I got over taken by three year toddler! (Oh, the shame!).
I would be quite happy to get up half an hour earlier to do a workout and think the Wii could be a fun way to do this - although I do want to improve my cardio fitness I really want to improve my flexibility and tone up a bit (well, a lot actually).
So, those of you who use the Wii what are your opinions? Even if you have one and don't use it anymore I'd be interested to know - a Wii costs a lot of money and I like to make an informed decision one way or another.
