AnonyMouse_13453 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 If I get one of these, is it all I need or do I have to have the console too? I haven't a clue about this stuff, but it looks quite good. Has anyone got one and what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 i think and i am no expert it depends on which excersises you are doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Hi Cait, haven't got one I'm afraid but the recent advertising campaign has made it look interesting, I would assume you need the console, these things generally come in a complete package at all good outlets!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Sadly it's not quite all you need Cait. I've heard willpower is also required... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I "borrowed" my sons Wii, and bought the package which comes with balance board and game. I also bought a second nunchuck (?) the bit you hold in your hand!! It is great fun and am sure if used regularly it would keep you fit. However, last time I got on the board it reminded me it had been many months since my last visit!!! I can't remember now if it gave me it in weeks or months!!! Very depressing! Hence I have not used it since!!!!!! It will make you laugh though when I tell you that I enjoyed the Wii boxing so much that I got really into it and pulled lots of muscles in my one arm and shoulder. Could hardly lift a thing for a week!!!! Nowadays my husband has fitted the Wii to the upstairs TV and watches iplayer through it!! Very relaxing . . . . . . . .

AnonyMouse_8623 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Yes Cait you will need the console as well as oodles of willpower as suggested by Steve . Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hmm, it's starting to sound expensive now..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_2776 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hi Cait! If you are able to slowly make the earnings for the console, then go for it. I find the Wii to be the most family orientated video console and the Wii Fit Plus bundle is just superb ! There is even a new Wii game out there... the Wii Party. It also seems interesting.

AnonyMouse_19733 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) Nothing to do with Wii but I have just noticed that it says that SmileyPR has posted at 9.59 on Wednesday morning and I make the time 9.26 right now, does this mean that the "clock" for this forum needs putting back an hour? BMG ...oh, and my edit time is an hour ahead. Edited November 3, 2010 by BMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 It sounds like you might not have set your preferences to automatically adjust for BST, BMG (crikey, that looks confusing - two sets of letters you don't normally see together...). If you go to your preferences here and check the relevant box that should sort it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_64 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I climbed onto my Wii balance board yesterday for the first time in months. My aching muscles today are testament to the fact! I was rather pleased to find that I have actually lost 2lbs since the last time I was on it though. Perhaps I ought to put it away for a few more months and hope it has the same effect.

AnonyMouse_3735 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) and this is a timely reminder to get mine out again.. tend to use it in winter as I am out and about in summer more.. Hubby constantly says turn the volume down .. the step one 'does his head in' with the plink plonk sound! we too got it as a bundle a long time ago now.. think we found an offer ... and do enjoy using it..

I don't want to play any games on it (not got time for that) but I want to do the exercise thingys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 some of the games are as good for exercise as the wiifit... I do a dance one.. exhausting... and the sports ones are also good .. usually know which set of muscles I have used next day.. it is a case of choosing active 'games' which use whole body or particular part of it.. The exercise things can become monotonous and boring as with any exercise dvd etc... so need a change Inge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 yes, I'm bored with the dvd I have, can't abide the music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_390 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I love the just dance game, hoping for just dance 2 for christmas. It's a really good workout and so much fun. I also love my wii fit plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 So I need the console, the board and a nanchuk? is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_2776 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Yeap... although I think our bundle included the balance board together with the nunchuk... hum Yes, my hubby says so... ha-ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Go for it Cait! They are such good fun! Don't have my own but have used grandchildrens........hmmm....must check to see whether I still hold the family record for the hula! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 :( :wacko: any DVD of this record breaking event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_30147 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Think my wii came with one nun chuk but you'd need another one if you wanted to play against someone. You'd need console, board and wii fit plus game. Is clever and good fun but as I read on an amazon review it doesn't stop you from eating chocolate biscuits!!
