Have it. Played for about 5 minutes.

The running exercises are hokey at best, but it does measure your form and speed with squats.



Honestly, go to a gym instead.

I lift in the morning downstairs, but in the evening I usually don't get home till late and currently my elliptical is at my parents due to moving and building the new house. The people around the lake do not keep their dogs on leashes so I do not feel comfortable running after dark, even if the dogs are friendly.

I need something to give me some cardio in the evenings to help balance my calorie burn throughout the day, and I don't really have any real way to do cardio right now

:edit:

Also looking for something to get my fiancé doing something as well, she wants to lose about 4 pounds before the wedding, and the stress right now is not helping her eating habits, so I would like to help balance it out with something. The multiplayer looked decent for that. She would be more willing if I challenged her to a game.

just get a hula hoop. One minute of hula hooping burns as many calories as running an 8-minute mile.

I bought it last night, and can say that this is what the Wii Fit should have been. It will be a great evening cardio addition to my morning workouts. The registering is not perfect, but I am hoping Motion takes care of that. It is all in how you hold the Wiimote and Nunchuk, you have to hold them exactly like the trainer in the game to get the motions to work
