Additional Comments: In regards to an earlier post I made, I finally got a Wii Fit. I stood outside Circuit City for an hour before they opened to get one. They only had 6. I can't believe the technology in this thing. This thing is fun. And I hate exercising. I think it is because I get bored after a while. I used to belong to Curves and then I joined a gym. I only stayed at each place for a year. I don't think I will get bored with this. I just hope I see results.

Awesome Cindy G!! Congratz for getting one! Tell us why you think this won't bore you though? I SOO wanted to get one too but then I thought that since I hate exercising too and after joining gym after gym after gym and never stuck with it, what could the Wii do that's different?

Do you do dance steps with it?

There reason I don't think that it will bore me is because you earn new activities to do daily. There is an activity that is like dancing; you do this by stepping on and off the balance board. You can either follow the foot steps that scroll down the screen or you follow the animated character. If you are familiar with Wii, then you know you can create a character that looks like you. Other people who have created a character will appear on the screen and exercise with you. It is really cute. As you jog they are jogging with you. When you are doing the hula hoop activity; they are the ones that are tossing you hoops, as you try to catch them around your body. There are 4 catagories of activites, aerobics, yoga, strength and balance. The Wii Fit weighs you and figures out your BMI. You get a daily progress report. There is a graph that shows your BMI hopefully dropping. There may be even more to it, but I haven't checked entire thing out yet. My daughter played it for hours yesterday. She is hooked on the hula hoop activity.

I'm jealous too. I really want one but cannot find one at all. And my cousin is a manager of a video store and she told me she could get me one. That is if they get any in.

Have fun with it. I hope to be Wii Fitting along with you soon!

I get plenty of exercise running up and down the stairs at Collinwood.

I want one!!! Are they very expensive? My brother was telling me about bowling and golfing on a Wii at a neighbors house. He said it was tons of fun!

It's a riot. And I love Dancing With the Stars! (My daughter has it, not me unfortunately) - Pronoun

They are around $89.00.

Wow I thought they'd be a lot more than that! GJ
