That would be good as I need someone to share the cost and kick me up the backside, but alas, I live in the wild north!

I fancy one of these but haven't a clue what I'd need. I fancy the yoga -anyone got that?
I was thinking of leaving it for a few months and then looking on E-bay for all the ones people have got fed up with and maybe nabbing a bargain!

Hi Bluebella
You will need a Wii console and the Wii fit package for the Yoga, but if you don't want to invest in both wait a few days and you will be able to get My Fitness Coach, its released on 23 Jan and will cost about £17.99. It has a yoga programme with it - looking at the american reviews it would be more like working with a DVD, but will still track your activity and you acievments - you will still need to invest in the console though.

That sounds good Jennifer but is the console the expensive bit?

My daughter who plays tennis for real, and to a good standard, took it all a bit too seriously, and almost threw herself into the TV, as she tried to execute a back hand down the line!! She's calmed down a bit now, still can't beat her though.

LOL Cowleygirl, so it sounds like an empty, padded room is an essential part of the package too. I fear this would be me too, but due to clumsiness and overexcitement rather than skill!

Hi Blubella
The Wii consile costs about £184 including wii sports and another game and the wii fit costs about £68, you can buy them together which works out slightly cheaper.

Thanks Jennifer but it will probably end up with my fit ball that I really had to have - and has never been used after 2 years! At least that only cost about £10.
I'll try and wait a few months for all the unwanted christmas presents on E-bay,or maybe Summer will get one and I can use hers,lol!

Loo, thanks for translating for Helen. I was lucky in that YS already had a Wii from last Christmas, so OH (Other Half) just bought me the balance board. My two younger boys and their partners were home over Christmas and New Year so they were able to take pole position on the leader board and have left me with something to aim for!
Thanks for the tip about club-nintendo, BeauSoleil, I didn't know about that, because people with student sons never read instructions because they never set anything up!

Hi Mrs T.
My HO is away a lot so the wii fit is great to play on your own.You can do all the exercises e.g.balance games, yoga, aerobic exercises and muscle work outs.I find that when HO gets back he is more than willing to try to better my score(why are men sooo competitive?)
There isnt tennis in the pack-you have to buy Wii Sports for that.In that you get tennis baseball bowling golf and boxing.All of the games can be played solo.So there is really no excuse.I also find that a lot of the games can make you very hot so i usually do them just in my underwear.This i find makes the games much more interesting for your man.This is what works for us.Just a thought maybe????

Good grief Helen! I've been married far too long for all that malarkey 
So, if I have it right I need a Wii console, a Wii Fit game and a balance board?
SIL says I need a 10-pin bowling game too so that's obviously separate - I think?
They are very scarce by the look of it, can't find one online at all

Hi Mrs Twiddle
There is a 10pin bowling game on wii sport which usually comes with the console, it's pretty good - my scores are pretty low though as every time I use it OH steps in and takes over - it is his fave game - along with the boxing. Play have some in stock as a bundle
http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/4-/7796378...it/Product.html
At £319 I think it is over priced, I paid £248.95 for the same bundle from John Lewis, so you will need to look around

Oh, I should have said, you might also want wii play, you get a remote and a game for about £30 which is better value than buying a second remote which costs £30 on it's own. It's not worth getting the accessory bundle, it's not expensive but we only used the add ons once and now don't bother with them, especially after OH tried to rip the light off the ceilling with the tennis racket - it was all very dramatic!

I bought one as a family Xmas Present this year. OH got on and got diagnosed as obese (tee hee) and I'm overweight where the rest of the family is ideal. It's great fun and a constant reminder of your weight - ooh dear, put that biscuit DOWN!!!! As for you JenniferPl - no more cream teas!!! (At least not without me!)

The most telling thing about the Wii Fit is when it takes your perfectly presentable Mii and supersizes it to reflect the true you - my kids squealed with laughter and never fail to tell all their mates whenever they get the board out! If that doesn't encourage me to lose weight, I don't know what will!!

Hi Sue
are you going to join the nintendo club? I am going to tonight, it might be fun to see what scores we are getting and start a little competition. Ahhh, I could just go for a cream tea, but I do have to squeeze into that wedding dress in September - I really don't want to have to consider bigger options!
Am feeling a bit grumpy cos no choc!
