Although we've used it a few times, a little while ago we got a game that we get lot's more exercise from, and you can use the board with it (although it's a little weird)
The game is called Raving Rabbids TV Party, and it has several "dance contest" type games that are just a blast for more than one person (or even one). You need a nunchuck and wiimote for each player. Really gets the blood circulating, and lots of laughs. Mainly older type music (80's maybe) which is right up my alley anyway.
So, just thought I'd mention it, we really had fun with it over the holidays, so far it's been enjoyable for ages 3 to 56, lol
i may have to look into that! at least i can do it at home, where people are spared from watching me try to dance! 
Phoenix-rising wrote:Great thread! You read my mind. I've been thinking about getting WiiFit for months now. My son barely uses his Wii anymore and I'm planning to "borrow" it from him. This sounds like so much more fun than the elliptical machine in my room.
Where's the best place to get the Wii Fit? Do you need to buy extra "stuff" to go with it or does it come with everything you need?
LOL -- My elliptical machine is in the garage. When I moved I just couldn't bring myself to move it inside. 
I pre-ordered the basic Wii Fit from Amazon. It came with everything I've needed so far (board, game disc and manuals). I know they're selling a bunch of accessories for it now, but I've never had to purchase anything else. (Well, I'm planning on getting the Rabbids TV game to use with it, lol.) I'm not sure where the best place to get one is, but I have seen them at Target and Best Buy whenever they've had them in their Sunday ads. If you go thru Amazon, you can enter your cell number and they'll send you a text when they're in stock. Hope that helps!
I'm thinking we should have a Fico Hula Hoop competition! (Yeah, I'll admit, that's because I'm ranked as a CALORIE INCINERATOR on there! LOL!)

Thanks WPP! I can't wait. I used to be terribly addicted to Zelda back in the day. I hope it's not too hard to peel myself away from the machine.
I called DH & told him I ordered Wii Fit. He asked me if I still plan to use the elliptical machine. Somehow I'm thinking - NO. * * insert evil maniacal laughter here * *
And S12 asked how much I plan to pay him for the Wii since he can sell it at GameStop for $150. <sigh> Little money grubber!!! 
I KNOW he didn't learn that from me. Or did he?
