Yes, my hubby bought it. I did the jogging so much I knackered my knees lol! Make sure you exercise using trainers and on a rug! There are cheats, which the boys found very early, but we've all had a lot of fun, and the hubby and two obese boys both got into overweight BMI after using it for a while. I'm thinking of getting the video thingy that assesses your shape, but I'm not sure I can take it ..................

We have a Wii but not the Wii Fit. I am thinking of getting one of those. The games are fun. Wii Sports has the bowling, tennis, golf, boxing and baseball games and those are fun. My husband and I box sometimes but I seem to beat him at that game. Its good for aggression if you are mad at each other you can use this to take your anger out on each other. You will have fun with it!

i don't have the wii fit, myself, but i know several people who do.

from what i understand, it's real fun in the beginning, but eventually gets old. i guess it's just like any other fitness routine :)
