It is good fun ... and at the margin it gets you off you ass ... but I doubt it would get you fit.

Yoga stuff also kills you ...

So very good for centre of gravity and balance stuff.

Not tried it when drunk yet.

Best bit is when you do the body test and it provides your Wii age. Mine is 48. :o Anyone else have a Wii age they are prepared to post?

Post by: lukybugur on May 07, 2009, 09:37:50 AM: Mine was four years younger - just 28. I"m a "Yoga Master" apparently. Good balance, but it took me a good few attempts to get coordinated with the avoid the football boots and stepping in time.

I"m still a chunky monkey tho (ours was bought a year ago and has been used only ... 5 maybe 6 times in total)

The Wii age is all over the place m range so far 32-54 ...

Just unlocked the Advanced Step Aerobics ... pretty tough ...

Also 10 mins of Hula Hooping ... might save that one!

Six mins - just pretty tough at full speed.

I might take on the ten mins this evening!

There is a free style step mode - which would let you play poker at the same time! (Mmmmm!)

Post by: AMRN on May 07, 2009, 12:51:53 PM: It"s a great product, and although bought with the best of intentions around improving fitness...... it"s best use proves to be after dinner parties and many bottles of wine. Watching someone try and float their ball up the creek when struggling to stand up is a right laugh.
