This is the kewlist thing I have ever bought. for those of you who have not seen these, they are awesome. Great workout, activities that any one of us can do, really, something for everyone. Measures BMI everytime I sign on. My husband loves it too. I just saw that advertised! I think it's a great idea! I don't have Wii though- never had the knack for playing the games....I saw that on TV this week, i wish i could use it, but that would be another hospital stay lol.

I hope it works for you Lorster. Give us updates on how it goes.It looks cool, I saw it advertised on tv!!  I have a question, do you have to use it barefoot?  I NEED my orthotics and shoes, I don't do anything barefoot.   Hey Michele. That is interesting that you ask. Our feet got real sore yesterday when we were barefoot. I'm going to put my shoes on today and see how it goes. Some of the activities are done off the board with the remote sensing your movement so I think shoes are a good thing to have on. It measures your BMI everyday that you get on the board as well as keeps track on the calendar how many minutes of workout you do. It is the perfect tool for me to try to get more fit. And the exercises are ones that anyone can handle, at any fitness level. You don't have to be very mobile to use this board. hi lorster i dont have a wii but have a freind who does
he was playing the game and his inlaws mobile phone rang
as he lifted the mobile the chararacters on the tv screen began
to move. so he swung his arm the character moved in responce
so he gave a big swing .. the mobile phone flew out of the protetive
case..   [QUOTE=micheleb]It looks cool, I saw it advertised on tv!!  I have a question, do you have to use it barefoot?  I NEED my orthotics and shoes, I don't do anything barefoot.   [/QUOTE]

    

 
I'm not so sure I like the idea of my bmi being posted everytime I hop on the board!
mamamiax4, You can pick from a number of workouts either long or short and each time you do an activity, your minutes go in a piggy bank. After you do so many, they add new activities to the menu. We added 2 yesterday between my husband and I. Guitar hero is out for the Wii and all sorts of sports games and other games for kids. Your BMI is locked off so others cannot see it or your weight if you want. And you can decline your BMI and it won't measure it. It will ask you each time you sign on. I wish I had a Wii fit board right now. I am trying to talk myself into doing a boring Denise Austin routine...well Ladies i am really surprised your docs have not told you
about the Best workout there is  they also have a workout mat ans yoga mat to go with the wii saw it onlline at walmart lots of accesories
