Now - girls - serious questions - WiiFit. Santa is bringing kids a big 10ft trampoline and DH & I are getting a Wii (so my son DS1 doesn't think it is HIS so he can play it all day long ) - both will help me get through the school holidays with everyone at home! But, I wanna get some use too - alot of you have referred to WiiFit - is it really that good, and DO YOU USE IT?? If you do, what for - what is the best part etc? I know there is a thread in gaming, but I feel like I kinda know you girls and trust your opinions [/QUOTE]

I absolutely lurrrrrrrrrvvveee my wii fit. I cannot get out of the house to exercise. Gyms are expensive and with DH away so often its not possible with young kids. Going for a good walk pushing pram doesn't work for me either as one child has to walk (read: dawdle) or I have to push all three with the youngest two on top of each other (not very safe and bl**dy hard work!) Half an hour at least a day on the wii you should be able to find. Just tell everyone to get away from you as you're doing your exercise for the day. I have to stop midway through some days to feed/settle Loralei but get back to it again. From what I've seen with the games we have so far, they're all quite physical and you work up a sweat playing them so as far as I'm concerned its more of fitness machine than entertainment. But, that's just my two bobs worth and others are bound to have different opinions. HTH
