JadeOrchidSong Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 We tried Wii Fit this Christmas. This whole morning we have been doing Wii Fit--running, hola hoop, balancing, and so on. We are all addicted. I wonder if the novelty wears off or if we can use it regularly for our homeschool fitness. Do your kids use it every day or every other day? If I want to use it for our PE, then I would like it to be used at least every other day. Please let me know your experience with it. Thanks!

lorrainejmc Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 We first got it about 2.5 yrs ago and the kids still use it. Not quite as much as at first but a few new active games now and again gets them interested again. Dd got Smurfs dance party in her stocking and I joined in. :lol: What a workout!:D For us the key was to only buy active games in addition to the wii fit. Family trainer was fun too.

Guest Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 We used it very often for the first few months, then it got dusty while other games moved to the fore. DD just brought it back out, though, because it's a good exercise option for wintertime, which prompted the others to get into it again. We have Just Dance 3 now, though, and that is quite a good workout also. All in all, I think it's a great option to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasharowan Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I just scheduled it into our homework schedule. Ds15 prefers doing it over other exercise, but now that it is not as hot outside, the little ones prefer to go outside and exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 It wore off in our house after a while. We do still use it, but not regularly. Every now and then ds will pull it out and do it for a week or so. I came home from the grocery store one day and found him on Wii Fit. I wouldn't call it a waste of money, but there is definitely a novelty factor that had us using it more when we first got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 We definitely used it more when we first got it. I find it gets more use during the winter and on super hot days in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeW88 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 We haven't used ours in well over a year. We've all graduated to P-90X. :D I would consider it a game more than a fitness routine. It's pretty light for a "workout". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
