    I like to get Wiied, and I know that other people on this board like to get Wiied too. The main purpose of this group is to exchange friend codes and perhaps set up some times to kick the snot out of each other and games like Brawl and Mario Kart.
     
    The secondary purpose is to just talk all things Wii if you are into that.
     
    Overall, though, we just need to set the lights down low, get out a glass of wine, through some Marvin Gay on the iPod and get Wiied.

    Hey.  I added some Wiispefic forums.  The categories are "friend codes, reviews, and game help."  Head in there if you want.  I know I'll be posting all my future Wii-stuff in there.

    A quick look at Wii Fit

    Wednesday, May 21, 2008, 01:02 PM EST [General]

    I bought Wii Fit today, and I figured I would help ya'lls out and tell you how it rates.  So you know my background, I was a decent runner through high school and college.  My best 10K (6.2 miles) time in college was about 32:42, which was my sophomore year because I had health and injury problems through most of the next two years.  On the college competitve level, I was better than most, but there was still a good amount of people better than me.  On the world-wide level -- including completely out of shape people -- I'm amazing.  However, I haven't really run for about a year and a half... so I'm out of shape.

     

    Let me just get this out there -- the Wii Fit is the real deal.  It'll get you tired.  It'll get you
     sweating.  It's definitely not the hardest workout you can get in your life....  But it's AMAZING for what you can get in your living room even if it's a little frustrating that you have to gradually earn more and more workouts the longer you play.  But I sort of get it -- they don't want inexperienced people going into something too hard too quick.

     

    Here's a run down of each area:

     

    Yoga -- Didn't play this yet.  I'm not sure if I will or not.  I'll have to watch my girlfriend doing it first.  But I HEAR that it's one of the most spot-on modes in this game.

     

    Strength -- These were decently hard.  So far they are allowing me to do pushups, leg extentions, squats, lunges, and some ab stuff.  I am not strong at all, but I got top ratings on all of these...  Which goes to show that Nintendo is concentrating on correct form (based on weight distribution) above all else.  For a lot of people, the basic amount of reps isn't going to be enough, so you'll have to go straight back into the exercises after you are done, which can be annoying.  It would be better if you could enter in however many reps you want to do from the start, but I think they DO let you unlock higher reps later.

     

    Aerobics -- They have hula-hooping, step workouts, running, etc in this mode.  The hula-hooping is just like... hula-hooping.  So if you are sweet at that, you'll be good at this too.  The step workout is like DDR, basically...  and I suck at it, but it did get me breathing a bit.  The running isn't very long (even when you unlock the "long distance" one), but the cool thing about it is they change the pace of the guy pacing you so he's ALWAYS in front of you.  I absolutely killed myself on these runs.  I was out of breath and sweating more than in any other workout I did -- but I also sprinted it.  If someone wants to just "go for a jog" in this mode, they won't get much out of it.  They should probably actually go for a real jog... like outside.

     

    Balance games -- I think a lot of people are going to spend a lot of their time here.  The balance games really are a lot of fun AND challenging.  Off the top of my head, there is heading soccer balls, ski jumping, downhill skiing, tight-roping, and the  "get the marble in the hole by tilting the platform" game.

     

    If you are looking for a good way to workout at home, this is worth the $100 price tag.  If you've never worked out in your life, maybe try it out first by renting it or going to a friend's house....  It's pretty expensive for someone to buy, try, get too sore, then quit.  People that already like to workout, cool.  Hope this was helpful.
