Played a lot of Wi tenneis and bowling, etc with the grandkids this weekend. It's fun and done correctly can be a little work out for an old man
Any of you play Wii?

Not yet but the nieces and nephew are getting one for Christmas- I know this, because I just got roped into buying the accessories. I'll give it a try in a month,

I do know, however, that there are exercise programs you can buy for the Wii. I've heard that some of them are pretty challenging.

NO, but I'd be interested in others responding. I'm thinking about getting one for fun. I tried the bowling over at a friends and it was hilarious, we had a ball.

Don't get me started dontread. I can be a tad competitive and almost had to go to the doctor I played the damn thing so long trying to beat my 10 year old nephew at bowling. My elbow was sore for a week, but boy did I have a blast! Tennis left me winded as if I had run a marathon.

I want a WII! :( Can't afford it right now. But we do use our DDR for some fun exercise.

I think it depends on your goals (and not playing it for hours ala Rick:). If you want activity that raises your heart rate and you're looking for heart health etc. then WII is fine. I think of WII as a supplement to other forms of exercise but I'm a nut about fitness so pay no attention!

My Brother has WII and I have played it, it is fun!

He also has WII Fit, he uses it all the time!

Those who do have WII, which activities are the most fun. I enjoyed bowling, what are some others, just in case I do get one for Chrissie.

We also have the WII resort, I like baseball, boxing and tennis on the wii sports and the sword games and ping pong on the resort, although I still haven't played the other games "with my kid" - wink, wink..
You can break a sweat on the boxing, tennis and swords, but I do not know if it qualifies as an exercise.
