I haven’t really been into video games since back in the 80’s, when my parents, a.k.a. “Santa,” got an Atari 2600 for me and my brother for Christmas. Oh, the fun we had playing Pitfall and River Raid! My mom wanted to try it out, but we barely ever let her.
Fast forward to my adulthood, when I can do anything I want. Sure, I could have gotten back into video games, but who has time? (One might say, who has time to blog? Touché, I say to that one. Touché.) Even as video game technology has advanced to include incredibly realistic graphics and much more bloodshed and, to its credit, zombies, I have remained uninterested, untouched, nonplussed, etc.
That is, until I saw my family playing games on the Wii™ system by Nintendo.
Eight adults, three children. All were going nuts. The youngest child was given a remote that didn’t work, and he played along with gusto, not knowing that he wasn’t really playing. We all shrieked and hollered, and I was captured on film:
I hadn’t had that much fun with electronics since that time at the arcade in 1987 when I got to the sixth Q-Bert screen. Oh yeah, if you know what I’m talking about, then you’re as old as I am.
When I was invited to host a Wii Fit™ Plus party for Nintendo at the end of October, I accepted gladly. Not only would I get to play with the Wii again, but I would also get a preview of the new and improved Wii Fit Plus game that somehow allows one to work out using the system. At home. For an easy few minutes a day, if that’s all one can spare. Even as a family activity. On top of all that, I got to invite a bunch of my friends to play, too.
We were told to dress for yoga, and that we would indeed be put through a workout. As a fan of yoga myself (despite the shortcomings of the gym classes I attend) I was intrigued.
Once we assembled, we sat through a demo of the Wii Fit Plus game. You can enter all of your personal stats, including height and weight, and the system will track the numbers for you on a daily basis if you wish. It measures your weight when you stand on the Wii Balance Board™ that is remotely hooked up to the Wii system. It even measures your center of gravity, which it uses as the goal for many of the exercises. Personal trainer Natalie demonstrated many of the functions of Wii Fit Plus and did a little workout while we watched.
Then it was time for us to try. We paired up to go through the pre-designed yoga workout by taking turns. I have to say I was skeptical. How would an electronic system be able to tell if I was doing the poses correctly? It’s all about the center of gravity as measured by the pad. Even in warrior 2, you keep one foot on the pad, which is a bit awkward at first, but I soon forgot about that because I was so focused on keeping the red dot in the yellow zone. It was NOT easy.
Once finished with the workout, the system told us how long we’d been working and how many calories we’d burned off. There is even a function that quantifies the calories in food.
So then they gave us food. But it was healthy, and also delicious.
After a little break for eating and drinking and mingling, we headed back to the stations to play the games included in the Wii Fit Plus. Because working out doesn’t have to be all work.
There is a chicken-wing-flapping game:
There is also an obstacle course that everyone compared to the TV show “Wipeout.” I failed miserably, running off the track into the water at the first jump. I enjoyed watching my friends having fun trying to master the games:
I also remember a balance/brain exercise game that is a combination of Simon and whack-a-mole using only your hips. I was good at that one.
Then the best part and the disclosure blah blah: after providing me with an invitation platform, a party for 17 of my friends, food, and fun, all of which was free, Nintendo gave everyone there a Wii Fit Plus. Half the crowd were bloggers and half weren’t, and you could tell at that moment. Let’s be honest – as bloggers we are not strangers to getting awesome gifts when we attend an event. I’m not saying the bloggers weren’t delighted to receive it. But the non-bloggers were as happy as my brother and I on that Christmas morning over 2 decades ago when we saw our bitchin’ Atari 2600.
And then, because I didn’t already have a Wii myself, they gave me one of those, too.
Everybody say “Wii!”
I said “I’ll take ten.”
Here are some thoughts from some of the other guests at the party:
“It’s a really fun set of games that make you enjoy getting a workout, especially the obstacle course and the hip shake/count-to-ten one. Love those! Then the way you can actually customize a workout, designed specifically for your time and needs, that’s very cool. I think it’s a very cool device.” —Sarah
“Josie and I had a great time, from the delicious smoothies that started the night to the awesome games and fun that ended it. My favorite moment in particular was watching the expression on one the Nintendo guy’s face as I utterly bombed the Snowball Fight game. ‘I’m pathetic,’ I told him. He kindly demurred and explained that I needed to move from my upper body only. ‘You’re throwing your entire weight into it,’ he said. So what else is new?” —Vicki
“Of the new games, I’d say my favorite is Obstacle Course, or whatever Nintendo calls it. It’s basically like the reality TV show where people make idiots of themselves going through an obstacle course. You get to do that without actually getting wet or injured or humiliated beyond the spectators in your TV room. Two thumbs up. ” —Michael
“It was so fun and silly and it got me laughing and forgetting about all the stresses in my single parent life. For just a little while. And, most importantly it got me hopeful that I can figure out a way to get exercise back in my life without it adding more stress by trying to make it work or costing a fortune in babysitting fees and gym memberships. It will be a while to save up for the Wii itself though.” –Sandri
“I had a great time at the Wii Fit party because I was able to do Wii yoga without a 4-year-old trying to knock me over while I did the tree pose. It was such a peaceful setting to get to know other mom bloggers and find out more about Wii. It seems that most of the problems I had with my Wii Fit have been fixed and I have renewed motivation to do yoga/workout at home now that I have a new Wii Fit Plus (thanks Nintendo!).” —Yvonne
“It is nice to exercise and hear laughing instead of moaning!!” –Kate
And now for the more awesomely awesome part. If you’ve actually gotten this far, you are lucky ducks. Nintendo has given me an additional Wii and Wii Fit Plus and I am going to give them away to a lucky commenter right here on this blog! Here are the rules:

Namaste
I already have a Wii and Wii Fit Plus, so no need to enter me in the giveaway. I’m actually not a big fan of the balance games, but I do use a lot of the yoga and strength-training exercises, and Rhythm Boxing.
You just caught my attention when you mentioned Qbert. I wasn’t sure anyone else remembered that game.
“How would you fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus?”
That is a good question because as we know ‘fit’ in ‘fit’ can be rather large and cumbersome. So I expect that it would take a little bit of engineering, probably more than a protractor, slide rule and abacus could handle.
The good news is that thanks to the wonders of modern technology I can simply plug in the numbers and the ‘puter will shoot out a simple response. Something along the lines of, “I’ll blog for 20 minutes less each day so that I fit my Wii in.”
How would you fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus!
I actually had a wii fit plus ski race the other night. Fun perfect date night. Who knew video games could still be fun.
I really wanted to go to that event. I have always wanted to try the wii out. Maybe I will get the chanse at your new home….. when will that be?
I so need this! I need exercise to be fun! And having in my living room will make it easier to fit in movement every day.
I was pleased and honored to be the token man at this fabulous event. Thanks for inviting me! Just got on my trusty Wii fit yesterday, in fact!
How fun! Sounds like a great event! Sorry I missed it. We have a Wii and the first Wii Fit. I tend to fit my fit in when I can…often in the morning, and a few minutes here and there, where I can fit it in.
“How would you fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus?” It’s easy to fit in some time for fitness when it’s fun! My husband and I are very competitive with each other and I know we would have fun trying to out do each others fitness level AND we would be getting fit too! Major fun!
Hi,
this would help out a great deal since I’m trying to lose weight and get into shape. 🙂
I have my whole family on a health kick, trying to loose some weight myself. I would fit some fitness into each day with this Wii and Wii Fit Plus. What a fun way to excersise with the whole family. Won’t seem like so much work either.
Thanks so much.

I’d do this first thing in the morning – right after I get my kids out to school and push my husband out the door so he will go to work. I’ve read that the women who stick to exercising are the ones who do it in the morning. At first I thought they were saying that only morning people could stick to it, but then I realized that if I do it BEFORE anything, I won’t keep putting everything everybody else needs in front of what I need to be doing myself. Very smart!
In addition to the responsibility of taking care of two kids and all their activities and carpooling, I recently went back to work to supplement the family income. As if that weren’t enough, I also committed to help plan a fundraising event for an amazing organization. Unfortunately, this leaves much less time for the gym. If I had a Wii Fit Plus, I could squeeze in some exercise in much less time than it takes to go the gym so I wouldn’t have to sacrifice my workouts. I would also involve my kids so it is something we all do together.
I have been wanting to get a Wii Fit ever since I tried it out at my sister in law’s house. I would use it in the morning after my daughter goes to school
This would help with my early morning workout.
austma7@aol.com
been a diabetic since 1992. The fit would help with the exercise I need to stay fit.
I’m almost 52, and my body has gone to pot these last couple of years. It’s my own fault to a great extent, but maybe this would be the thing to get me back on track.
“How would you fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus?”
Having a Wii Fit would help me to fit some exercise in my daily routine. I’m home from work most days by 3pm and this could be a fun way to keep track of my stats, mix up my workouts and even get my teenager active.
From waht I’ve seen the Wii is alot of fun. The baby boomers among us (myself included) can finally get a fun exercise session with no excuses about going to the gym and all. Thanks for a great blog, and to nintendo for a great product.
How did I miss this post in my Reader? Thanks for putting it on FB, too! We are a wii-less family; you could change all that!
My biggest problem is getting bored with the same routine everyday. This would help me get fit because there are so many options, I don’t think I would ever get bored.
iheartsweeping@aol.com
I could fit some fitness in with my kids and then in the afternoon when my youngest goes off to preschool. This would be so fantastic.
Force yourself to do it on a daily basis regardless of whether you are tired or want to
melissabecker at gmaildotcom
I think that the mini-games (and trying to top the scores) would keep me motivated to play. I’m very competitive so I get motivated trying to win.
I live in a very small town (not even a stoplight) so there isn’t a gym anywhere close. I love to work out in the mornings but I have a tendency to get bored easily. I love the variety the Wii Fit has. Nice to be able to alternate workouts. Thanks! I think I posted on the wrong post. my computer keeps messing up on me!!!!
After years of struggling with my weight, I’ve finally gotten on a healthy eating regimen, but I’m still putting off the exercise. I hate going to the gym for various reasons, so I think having the Wii and the Wii Fit Plus would motivate me to move my body and get rid of the weight once and for all!
I would fit some fit in by playing the boxing games and yoga games with friends.
I’d do it every morning before work.
doing the hulu hoop, and other yoga and balance games- would have fun with the college kids of mine to get in shape
I would love to try it. I go to the gym but sometimes there is days that I just can’t make it due to being busy. I think the Wii would give me an alternate way to work out for those days I just can’t make it to the gym.
I can never seem to get to the gym after work, there’s always a million things to do. But…if I had a Wii, I could get in some exercise once the kids went to bed.
I am a busy Mom of two teenage sons and I would love to have a Wii fit!
I’m sure I would be able to squeeze some time in to get fit if I my sons didn’t decide to Wii Fit too!
I’ll stop reading books to make time for it.
This would be great because I could do this when my kiddos are napping…fun in the afternoon for mommy, yeah!
topgun34er(at)hotmail(dot)com
I work out of my home when I’m not traveling for work – so the last thing I want to do when I’m not traveling (which is far too much these days) is leave my home for ANYTHING. Having a Wii will GREATLY help me stay fit and home 🙂
Having wii Fit will help exercise “fit” into my day. I waste about an hour just traveling to and from the gym. Therefore my workout routine becomes 2+ hours. Sometimes I just can’t fit extra hour of travel time into my day so I can not get my exercise in.
I will make time to use my Wii by spending less time on the Internet & using that time to get into shape. I will also make sure my husband who is recovering from a stroke uses it. His therapist told him that Wii’s are very good therapy & help you get better control of your balance.
I would fit it in after work and on the weekends. This would be fun for the whole family. Thank you
I would fit time in while I’m up late at night since I suffer from insomnia and that way since I’m up by my self there won’t be any distractions .
luckylady4163@yahoo.com
I so need this…….I am struggling again to lose weight and get in shape….I could really use some fun with this ongoing life change.
thanks for the chance to win.
i’d use this to fit exercise into my life more easily than going to the gym – i am due with our second child next month and i know that getting out of the house won’t be easy
autumn398 @ yahoo.com
I’d love to win…part of my problem with exercising is managing to get out of the house, especially as I often am a night owl and can’t go to the gym at 11 PM (or don’t feel like driving). Particularly, I’m starting med school this fall and it will be very hard to find time to go out of the house to the gym, this would let me exercise for 10 minutes here, 10 minutes there at whatever time is convenient…it would be a huge help to ensure I don’t gain weight while focusing on studying instead of my own health.
Beth_W(at)ix.netcom.com
I actually work out both in the morning and at night. Usually in the morning I do pushups and lift weights, but rarely do any sort of stretching or other form of cardio. I’d integrate the Wii and Wii fit into my mornings by using as a basic warm up device. THEN, when I came home and was winding down, I’d be using it as a way to practice some yoga and a bit of cool down exercises 😀
Please feel free to contact me at:
allrightyes at gmail dot com
Maybe me and my girlfriend would finally workout together
This would be great! I wouldn’t have to drive to the gym and working out could be fun!! I would set aside 30 minutes of “video game” time with the fit every night.
I have been wanting this for so long! I can’t afford to buy it so I keep entering contests to try and win it – one day (fingers crossed) I will! I am soooo tired of my treadmill!!
It might motivate me to get up earlier and squeeze some in
The Best Way To Get Fit Is To Have Fun Doing It And This Looks Like The Perfect Thing To Get Myself Back In Shape!
This looks like a great way to stay active at 70!
Wii is diferent that other game systems inthat your able to interact with the games. That interation gets you up off the couch and in motion. That motion can lead to exersise.
How would you fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus cdziuba@aol.com
I would enjoy winning because it would motivate me to MAKE TIME to exercise in the privacy of my family room. I would be much more comfortable exercising at home as opposed to being in a gym.
I’ll use it in replace on watching so much tv.
I’d love to do this. I’d use it to lose some darn weight!!!
Show me the money!!!!
iwill replace some of my other wii games that i play, with the wii fit.
On those nites when there’s nothing decent on the boob tube (which seem to be quite often these days) I’ll hook up the Wii and go to town! Thanks.
I will use it everyday instead iof finding excuses to not go to the gym
I will use it in between entering giveaways, sleeping and working 🙂
I would fit some fit in with Wii Fit by having friends over to play, we’d have a good time, and it would be a good excuse to get moving.
I’d play the Wii Fit after work before my husband got home. It will surely amuse the cats!
I would get up an hour earlier each morning to squeeze in time for thw wii and wii fit. I have been wanting one since they first came out, but our budget doesn’t allow for it. I wonder if it would help me prepare for the Undy 5000 in Dallas? I’m beginning training for the 5K to raise awareness and money for a cure for colon cancer in my father’s honor.
I’d fit it in when my oldest son is at preschool and my youngest is napping.
I would use it to exercise when my kids are still asleep in the morning. I can’t leave the house to exercise so this would be perfect.
I love gadgets and have way too much blubber. This is perfect for me.
I could get the entire family into playing this! (My kids play wya to many video games, but I could get behind this. And of course, a chance to see Mom & Dad make fools of themselves is always good for the kids.)
I could fit this Wii fit workout into my morning with my young kids. It is actually the only way I can get a workout as I have no one to watch the kids for me so whatever I do has to be here in the home and fun for the kids to watch and do too.
I could get in a great workout while my daughter is at school without having to spend money and time going to the gym. My daughter could also spend time with me while getting a fun workout in.
this is grreat-but i need my own …my kids are always using it
What a great product and contest–Wii would Fit right in our household and get daily use!
We love to get our exercise by being active outdoors, but with the Florida heat we tend to stay in a lot during the summer. We would use this to be active inside instead of watching TV or playing sedentary games.
I would use it before work and get in my exercise.
applejacks18@yahoo.com
Our daughter would love to do this with me. So, this would be a great activity to do together.
I’d fit in time to use the Wii fit right after work. If I wait until after dinner, it will never get done!
I’d use it every day to get in shape.
I’d fit it in after work before I make dinner so that my workout is out of the way and I can enjoy the rest of the night.
I’d be able to squeeze in a workout before work in the morning. No time for the gym, but time to do something at home for sure!
I’d fit some Wii in on a daily basis for both me, and my mom, who I would love to let try this! My mom is disabled and can’t always leave the house to exercise, she saw the Wii and Wii Fit board and said “Hey, I could probably use that!” and I’ve been excited about getting one for her ever since. So if I win, I’ll be leaving this with my mom, but you better believe I’ll be over using it. We’ll have mutual custody of it! 🙂 Thanks so much!
I would get up every morning and fit in some Wii Fit after having my coffee; I’d love to have fun while getting into better shape! Thank you!
I gained a ton of stress weight. I need a fun way to get motivated. I’d fit some Wii time after dinner and after my husband goes off to his night job.
Instead of sitting here at the computer I would get up and fit some fit time in with the Wii fit.
I would fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus by taking time out of my afternoons between classes to use the Wii Fit. I have been wanting a Wii Fit for a long time now and winning it would be awesome!
constancelavery at msn dot com
I’d fit it into the morning schedule. A few extra minutes in the morning for a sun shiny day!
Good Heavens! So many comments–I had no idea! I thought my original feedback was already part of this, but I’ll say it again: Doing the silly and fun and sometimes strenuous Wii Fit Plus activities allowed me to laugh and de-stress and forget about my life worries for just a little bit. If I can get that on a daily basis, I would be thrilled!
how cool this would be, i think i’m the only person who doent have one of these
CONTEST ENTRY
I’ll use it instead of the treadmill.
I’d do it every day after work to wind down and get some exercise.
I’d use it to challenge my 17 year old grandson to keep fit with me.
I would use it every day instead of working out to Gilad’s Body In Motion!!!!!!!!!!!! Way more fun!
Sounds like the Wii Fit offers a lot of fun variety and that’s what keeps my interested in exercising. Would love to try it!
I’d sneak in some Wii Fit time between work phone calls while my daughter was at school! The great variety and FUN things would really help.
Some friends have a Wii with the Wii Fit and when a group gathers at their place it becomes the focal point of the party. Who knew you could have so much fun exercizing! If I were to win the Wii and the Wii Fit Plus, it would be a huge insentive to spend time exercising. Why sit when you can have so much fun? Thanks for the chance to win them!
I have played on a friends Wii Fit and I really liked it. I would definitely make time every day to use so it became a routine (a fun one). I need to lose weight and would like a fun option to do so.
scyren at yahoo dot com
I would exercise every day with the fit.
I’d use it for indoor workouts or night time workouts. With the snow we get in Utah, it would be nice to have an indoor activity
I would get up early, which is hard for a night owl, to use the Wii. Thanks for the giveaway and the review. Q-Bert! I remember that game! LOL!
tom kat kelly at comcast dot net
I would you fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus in the afternoon afer coffee
instead of the treadmill
It will replace walking in the rain and late at night.
I will try to have more time to exercise.
i’d love to play this (and lose some weight) rather than just watching tv
i will replace some of my other wii games that i play, with the wii fit
Have fun and work out! Sounds good to me. Maybe I’ll get back into playing video games. Of course more work outs is what I need.
I would fit in Wii fit by starting a morning exercise routine. I have been dragging my heels about it but, another Birthday has come and I have to do it!
I’d fit some Wii Fit Plus into my day by getting up super-early in the morning to exercise with it. Probably about 6 AM! It’s the only time I’m not exhausted from work.
…well, that would be my answer if I kept it. If I win, I’m giving this straight to my mom. I know she’s wanted one for a while, both to keep herself fit and to have something fun to play with with her grandkids while they’re over. I’m completely certain that she’d be fitting workouts in after work and before work and whenever she is able, though! And she’d let me use it sometimes, too. 🙂
Thank you very much for the giveaway!
Here’s my email: anthy_stl [ATT] yahoo [DOTT] com
I tried a friends Wii and had a great time, it would be nice to have one of my own, and the Wii fit looks awesome. I could stand to shed a few pounds. OK OK more than a few. : )
The Wii is a blast – gets you out or off of your seat! I would use the Wii and the Wii Fit with my kids after dinner. We could all use some stretching and strengthening. If we make it about family and that we are getting fit together, we will do it.
I would start my day with the Wii fit. Great way to get moving!
I would use Wii Fit probably the same day I do my DDR cardio.
I would play the wii boxing daily because boxing is good cardio
I could use when it is convenient for me with out having to go someplace. Morning, afternoon, and evening no matter the weather
I would ask hubby to watch the babe after dinner so I can get some “me time” to Wii Fit!
Until a year ago, I took ballet twice a week, but the class at the convenient time was cancelled. I’m optimistic using the Wii Fit any time I want will help make up for that. If they don’t have a ballet application yet, they need to add one!
I would fit it in before anyone wakes up in the morning.
Thanks for the chance.
mogrill@comcast.net
I would definitely find the time to wii for me too! lol! Great incentive and review! Thanks!
The Wii Fit would be a great way to get myself going in the morning.
I would use Wii Fit to do my daily exercise
That “Katana” game I got for the Wii is somehow not as much of a workout as I’d been hoping – I’d probably replace it with Wii Fit :-). And, since I’m a night owl, this would be a great way to work out on my own schedule!
i would get in the morning and fit some wii in my day. i want a wii so bad lol.
I live no where near a gym, so this would be perfect, I could “fit” in some exercise before my family gets up or even late at night after the kids are in bed. Thanks for the chance!
I would love to have the Wii Fit… I work at home all day as a MT and I need the exercise and this would be the perfect thing to do <3
I would fit some fit in by getting up earlier and working out for a hour or so.The Wii and Wii Fit looks like fun.I don’t think that I would have any trouble draging my self out of bed if I had it.
Thanks for the giveaway:)
I would get up earlier in the morning to fit in some FUNNNNNNNNN exercise!
skkorman AT bellsouth DOT net
Having a Wii Fit at home would allow me to fit in some workout time any time of the day or night that I have free time, time, time!
dlhaley[at]hotmail[dot]com
After I have loosened myself up with walking the dog, I can squeeze some FIT in…
I do not enjoy exercise like I used to! the Wii Fit would give me some variety to my normal exercise routine. I have friends who have a Wii Fit and love it.
I would fit in wii fit by getting up a little earlier in the morning and having fun!
Fun + Wii + 15 minutes = More activity than I’m getting now! I *HATE* the gym. My gym is lame and I don’t like going. I figure 15 minutes on the Wii is better than no minutes doing anything else. It’s a way to get a good start!
The great thing about this is that I can have my kids doing it right along with me. I’m sure they will love it and encourage (beg) me to turn it on and play. Awesome!
I exersise EVERY day but I get NO results! Its annoying! I think the Wii and the Wii fit will help me lose my much needed pounds that I have been trying to lose.
Iwould use the Wii as a family time activity. My special needs son loves school so much that on the weekend he wants to sleep all the time. I think this would motivate him and me to exercise and maybe enjoy our weekend time together more.
I am dieting and trying to become active. My whole family needs to become more active and Wii Fit would definitely help.
I would use this to join the 21st century.
I have often wondered if I could use this with my mobility ‘issues’… would be great to finally find out! (and my kids would love it…;-))
I daughters and I would have weekly Wii Fit “parties”. Every Saturday or Sunday morning, we would Wii together as a family. It’s a great way to spend family time, build healthy habits, and it’s much better than a fattening brunch!
I would get up 2 hours early to get fit on the wii fit.
I would use it every day with my girls! I was recently diagnosed with RA and need to get some form of excercise as part of my mending, I think the lower impact wii fit would help ease my pain and make me strong again! Thank you for this contest! no19034770@ yahoo.com
LOVE TO WIN. I USED MY COUSIN’S & I ENJOYED IT. NEED ONE FOR MYSELF FOR I WON’T HAVE TO BOTHER HER.
I’d get up a little earlier
I would like to try the equipment for doing excercise with WII at home. I think I would like it especially if it’s raining.
It would help me lose some weight so I could finally have a six-pack (yeah right).
I just started working out every morning. Something like WiFit that added a little fun to it would help tremendously.
I am at home with a disability and I would turn off the TV and turn on the wii, need to get back into shape
singermagic1(at)yahoo(dot)com
I haven’t had time to go to the gym but have wanted to get back in shape, along with my husband and daughter. This would be a great way to get in shape as we wouldn’t have to find time to leave the house and be gone and worry about the dog and other responsibilities, we could do it together at night after dinner. I’m eager to try out the yoga especially.
I’d get my diabetic husband to give up one of his T.V. shows and Wiifit back in shape.
I would fit some fit in when my son is napping. Thanks for the chance.
I would love to work on it first thing in the morning.
trippyjanet at hotmail dot com
I tried one at a friends and my whole family enjoyed it so much, young and old. I would love to have one of my own.
I would fit in Wii Fit in the AM before work. That’s the only time I have during the day and it would be great to be able to work out at home. I’ve been wanting one for a while – just hasn’t been in the budget!
Your pictures make the Wii Fit look like so much fun! I love the idea of something that would be fun for the family, and also a good work out routine for me. No more weather excuses!
I would fit it in after work while I unwind from stresses of the day
I would fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus in the afternoon while the kids are in school & my husbands at work. It would be the perfect time.
My Wii ran into some permanent technical difficulaties last year, before I could ever get a Wii Fit and balance board. I have been meaning to get one ever since. I would schedule 40 minutes a day to get my Mii Fit time in!
six_one_nine_girlie86 (at) yahoo (dot) com
I would fit some time in my days off to get in shape.
The Wii would be perfect for my husband who just had a stent put in and was told to excercise 30 min. per day. I think I would love it too.
I’ve been telling my mom it would be great for her and would get her more active and fit!!
I would use the Wii Fit to stay fit instead of watching TV.
I know myself, so I know I’d have to schedule a time for working on fitness with the Wii – and I’m ready!
I would do Wii Fit instead of watching tv in the afternoons!
A Wii would make exercise fun and make it more likely for me to actually keep a schedule to do it.
I would do my normal workout in the morning and make the Wii Fit my fun workout in the evenings, while I wait for it to be time to start cooking dinner!

I could fit some fit into my schedule by doing it before the kids woke up in the mornings for school, without waking them or leaving the house. Totally awesome!
kport207 at gmail dot com
I work from home so it would be a great way to break up my day without being off-line. This would be great to win!
I would do some wii fit in the morning.
I would fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus in the midmorning or afternoon as a pick-me-up.
I would get up a little earlier in the morning to get in an extra 20 or so minutes a day on the Wii fit! Thanks for the great giveaway!
First of all, I haven’t heard the name Pitfall in AGES!! Loved~That~Game!! I remember getting Atari and life was good way back when! Now, I’d use the Wii Fit Plus to get the weight off that was put on with all my blogging over the winter. We were so slow at work I was only working 2 days a week so I can barely fit into my pants now! Not even kidding. Not a happy feeling now since I have to try and get into my warm weather clothing. Here’s to lying on the bed trying in desperation to get the shorts/pants zipped up. My shelves, I mean hips, could use Wii Fit Plus! I would do it on my days off that I still get to enjoy…sitting on my tooshie!

I would fit some fit in my Wii fit in the midmorning I need to lose some weight because my husband has just lost 30 lbs and I need to lose a little to keep up with him he lost his playing golf which I can’t seem to play
I work the graveyard shift so I would fit it in when I get home in the mornings.
I would love to fit so yoga Wii into my early mornings before work so that I have a good start to my day.
I would fit it in before going to work in the morning.
I would do Wii Fit in the afternoons as soon as I got home from work. I’d like to lose 15 pounds and this sounds like a fun way to get in shape! 🙂
I need to use a Wii Fit to stay fit instead of watching TV
I would love this. My son is recovering from unsuccessful surgeries on his leg to remove tumors. This would get him up and moving. I think if he had something to distract him from the pain, he might be more willing to try to build up his strength more.
twoofakind12@yahoo.com
I would fit it in early in the morning befoire going to work and while the kids are still sleeping. It sounds like so much fun but also a great workout.
I always wanted a wii… I would do wii fit as soon as I wake up and before I go to bed. 🙂
Wii fit instead surfing the web.
I would fit it in in the morning after coffee!
Having a 6 month old I can’t really get out to get any exercise. The Wii would enable me to work out after the baby goes to bed.
I would fit it in after work.
In the evenings. This looks like fun. I would love to try the yoga.
In the early morning before it gets to hectic.
since I am a nite-owl,,,I have to be very quiet in this complex….but at least I would not have to sneak over to my sisters and use hers when nearly everyone is gone
I would use it to lose the 20 pounds I gained from breaking my ankle last summer and to get back into shape.
I am retired so I have plenty of time to exercise but no motivation; I think the Wii Fit will be so much fun that I will be exercising without knowing it.
Amost two weeks ago, I discovered by chance in a few clicks of a keyboard that my husband was a compulsive liar and a cheat and told him not to come home. 15 years of (happy) marriage ended in an instant and I became a single mom. My evening workouts were a highlight of my week, leaving our beautiful son home with dad for my only ‘me time’. Now I can’t do that. And I need to exercise now more than ever to somehow stay sane, strong and healthy for my sweet son. I could do Wii fit at after I put him to bed instead of crying all night. And we could do it together to put smiles on our sad faces. Either way, it would be well used and a true gift.
I would use the Wii & wii Fit right after I got home from work!
It would be great to win one, i could fit a workout into my routine after work easily!
I would fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus by enlisting my Mom to participate with me, getting to spend time with her and get in better shape at the same time.
I would fit some Wii Fit in every evening instead of watching television.
smchester at gmail dot com
I would add it to my early morning routine. tiffduke@hotmail.com
would try some early in am to get going for the day.
nice giveaway.
I am a night hawk, so I am pretty sure I would fit in some excercise before bedtime.
I would fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus early in the morning when the house is quiet and I time to myself.
I would love to win this Wii & Wii Fit, I could use the exercise and my kids would have so much fun with it too! Great contest!
I would fit it in after the kids get off to school. This would actually make exercise fun & I would be more inclined to keep on a schedule!
I will get some Fit worked into my daily life with the Wii &Wii Fit because I want to get healthy. I have hypertension, so this would relax me and make me participate daily to get in balance with my health and life. I would dedicate myself to be a Wii Fit addict for a good cause, my health.
I’d fit in some Wii Fit time after work every day with my girlfriend. She would love it!
-Anthony (grendgATgmail.com)
I would love this! What a perfect, fun, active way for our family to spend some time together, in the comfort of our home!
What a great after dinner activity!
shanna.elizabeth@hotmail.com
I’d probably try to squeeze in some exercise with the Wii Fit Plus just before going to bed
My son would LOVE me even more if I won this! A couple of years ago, I won a bad ass drum set and he still talks about it! AND plays it!
This would be great… I could trade in Resident Evil time for get skinny time!
I would fit some Wii time early afternoon everyday for about 45 minutes to get in better shape.
colleen.maldonado@sbcglobal.net
I would fit some fit in after my daughter daughter goes to bed!! She’s two years old and quite the handful so no time to fit any excersize in while she’s awake, but once she’s sleeping, it’s mommy time! My daughter is 2 1/2 and I’m still trying to loose that “baby fat” LOL!!
THANKS FOR THE CHANCE!!!
~Diane
I’d use it to lose a little bit of weight before my wedding. I’ve put on 20 pounds from the stress of planning it all (long engagement=bad idea) and although I’ve started eating healthier, I want a more quantitative and fun way to track my exercise. I already play video games with my fiance almost every day, so it should be easy for us to make some time for the wii.
I would fit some fit in each morning before class. 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway! I would trade in some computer time for some Wii Fit plus time!! Woohoo–my fingers are crossed!
I would really use the Wii to improve my fitness. I’m on disability due to bad arthritis and don’t get out to exercise for fear of falling. Being able to work out in a safe and comfortable home environment would be just wonderful for my situation! Plus, I’ve heard so much about how fun the Wii is…would love to win it 🙂
Just what I need to get this body in shape.
This might be the only way to motivate me to work out
I would fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus by helping me get disciplined on doing some fitness everyday. I’ve recently been down for the count with an illness and now that I’m getting over it, my doctor want me to start exercising and I think the yoga would be a great way to start, and the Wii looks like you can start out slow and work your way up at your own pace. That would be good for me. Thanks for a great giveaway!
I would love to trade my Zuma time in for Wii Fit time. I know it would be a good change for me. I no longer have baby fat to lose because my “babies” are all approaching 30. I keep telling them they have to start lying about their ages. I have “sitting and not doing enough exercise” fat. Thanks for the great giveaway and the opportunity to win it.
I’m a single mom with a full time job in NYC. Rushing is my middle name! My 5 year old loves to play video games, so I’d be able to get in mommy time and fun/exercise time with a Wii fit.
I’ll get my own crock pot to make healthy meals. LOL!
I’d Wii fit in the morning before work!
This would be great because I could get fit at home instead of not being able to exercise because I’m stuck in the house with little kids.
My kids can kick my tail at snowboarding but I can hold my own in bowling. Jillian Michaels scares me to death but, at the same time, I really need her. It’s a sick, sick relationship.
I would fit some Wii fit time into my day right after I take my daughter to school 🙂 hopefully burn calories the rest of the day in turbo mode!
I would give this to my mom to use. She occasionally spends time with Richard Simmons or other aerobics videos working out; I’m sure she’d enjoy working out with the Wii Fit!
I would get up earlier than I usually do and get my fit on! I always feel better when I work out in the morning.
davina77@hellokitty dot com
Since I have to get up really early anyway to get my grandson up for work, I would use the time that I normally try to get back to sleep (it never works!) for this.
Oh, this would be so great! I’ve already lost 18 pounds, but have about 40 more to go. I need to increase my exercise time. I’d use this during my daughter’s naptime, for a little take-care-of-me time!
my wife and I would use this instead of tv time. great giveaway
sstone225@hotmail.com
My grandma’s been wanting one. She says its this or getting an adult tricycle. But, this would be much safer for her. All of her other grandchildren and i would also love to do this with her.
I’m an RN so after my straight 3 day shifts I would have lots of time to use my new wii
i would exercise with the wii on days when it’s too rainy to go to the gym.
I would take it to work and share it with my friends during our lunch break.
i would fit in wii fit after the kids get on the bus!!! luckydoll_13@hotmail.com
I’d fit the Wii in by challenging my kids to beat me at the tight rope and snow ball fight. Maybe I could jog it with my daughter.
bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com
I would fit some fit in after dinner when we usually just end up sitting in front of the tv.
I would fit some fit in some Wii by getting off the sofa and stop watching so many cooking shows that make me want to make fattening food.
I would definately lose weight and have fun at the same time before school!And after! Thanks for the chance!
I would fit the fit by working out before I go to work. Since I work in the food industry it can’t hurt to work off the food I eat there…lol
I think it would be easy to fit in some fit with the wii and wii fit. I would WANT to play and wouldn’t procrastinate like I do normally when I have plans to exercise.
I’m trying really hard to lose weight, so this would be the perfect chance to get in more exercise. I am already eating healthier, walking, and doing yoga; this would make it even more fun.
I would love to win. This would definitely ad to my health regime of eating healthier. I definitely need to exercise more, and that’s where the Wii would fit in nicely!
I would fit in some Wii Fit after throwing a fit so I can play Wii fit while fitting.
I would use it in the afternoons 🙂
I would fit my fit in after the kids are put to bed…no other time for me available…would love to win.
I would use the Wii every morning to give me energy for the day
I really want to try the bowling. I would use the Wii every chance I got.
INTHEMORNING RIGHT BEFORE WORK!!
I would make time for the Wii Fit!!!!!
I would get up before my kids and work out then.
I would love to win for so many reasons. First, my 8 yr old son played some really cool winter sport games on the wii fit plus at a friends house and loved it. What a great way for him to get excerise when the weather doesn’t allow us outdoors. I would like it for me also since I just lost some weight and need to firm up. Thanks for the chance to win
I would love this cause I am really needing to get in shape. Please pick me!
Even though I’ve changed some of the foods I eat, I’m still gaining weight like crazy. I wii fit would help me get in shape while I’m not out job hunting or doing things for my family.
It would be great to get in shape.I have been fat for too long. I would use it in the morning to start my day.
Right now I have plenty of time to fit in some WII fit as I am unemployed, overweight and almost immobile. I am a disabled vet (peacetime) with a 20 year old rebuilt knee and arthritis in both knees. just walking the dog is painful. Maybe with the WII fit I could begin to exercise slowly to get back to a normal lifestyle.
This would be great! i could work out at home without my husband making fun of me and the workout videos!
I am partially disabled , so being able to do this inside my house would be great!
I have been a procrastinator. I tell myself, “Self, you are going to start working out tomorrow!” and I wake up and just watch Regis and Kelly. I know, just KNOW, that with a Wii Fit Plus, I have to work out. It looks so fun, doesn’t even seem like your doing hard work! lol
Thanks for this giveaway!
xoxo, Vanessa

I will fit in the wii fit plus in the early morning after I have breakfast. That way I will have plenty of energy to do the exercises.
samsakara@twcny.rr.com
I’ll fit in the Wii fit plus in the morning — alternate mornings with my aerobic walking tapes and Wii fit plus! Kim — thank you!!
I like to work out in the evenings, after work. I would love this!
I am sorely in need of a fitness program. As a paraplegic, I can sure see how this would help me get in shape. Thanks for the opportunity!
This would be great for me, a busy law student, since I’ll be able to work out without even leaving my apartment!
shippydarla@yahoo.com
If I had a Wii Fit, I would be able to fit in little bits of exercise each day.
Thank you for the giveaway! I’d fit time in while everyone is sleeping because, since school is out this is about the only time I’ll be able to sneak in a little private alone fit time without the kids yelling “my turn!!”.
I will fit in the Wii Fit Plus in the early evening time, when I get home from work.
I would fit some fit in in my tiny living room after work with Wii Fit Plus (if it fits).
I would fit some fit into my family room.
rsgrandinetti@yahoo(DOT)com
I would fit some fit in my living room with my family!!! Cannot afford to buy one!Would LOVE to win!!
“Wii” are newly engaged and would love to fit in some Wii Fit time after we’re both off work! He works day shift and I work swing, so not only would it help us shape-up for the upcoming wedding, we would have something new and fun to do together in the evening! (^_^)
I need to Wii Wii!! lol. Seriously I am newly diagnosed diabetic and I have to start getting up and exercising, but it is so dang hot down here in TN especially after the flooding. If I Wii, I can do it with the dehumidifier running.
Last year I hiked EVERY DAY. Seriously. This year I’ve been a slug so I need this.
I’ve recently made decisions towards living a healthier lifestyle, but it’s still been hard to get out and become more active. With the Wii Fit I would be able to get the activity my body needs, even when I’m not able to get out of the house. Not only that, but the rest of the family would have access to a great new piece of exercise equipment too!
mears_man@hotmail.com
It rains so much here in the pacific NW…it would keep me fit without me getting soaked!
Okay, here’s the thing – I’e had two hip replacements – yes, I said TWO – and doing any kind of physical “exercise” is nearly impossible. My friends and family all urge me to go to aerobics class, or walk four miles every evening, whatever. I can’t do any of it. Well, let me qualify that – I can’t do any of it AND KEEP UP WITH “NORMAL” PEOPLE. So to save embarrassment for everyone, I decline. And I have no discipline to exercise in private. Which means I get NO exercise at all.
Now, the funny thing is, I actually have played Wii – once. At my nephew’s house. He had the tennis game and I found out I am actually pretty good at it!! And guess what? I worked up a sweat and felt great, and all without the trials and tribulations of “exercising”. So I realized right then that a Wii could definitely benefit me, since it made “exercise” a game instead of a dirty word!
Unfortunately, like a lot of folks in today’s economic crunch, I cannot afford to purchase a Wii, much less a Wii Fit. That’s why when I saw this giveaway my heart just gave a lurch. I NEED THIS!!
I will use it in between jobs. I think the Wii Fit is perfect for people on the go
I would fit in some wii fit in the morning and before I go to bed. Double doses to up my chances on thinning down.
this would help make exercise fun again.
I would fit in the Wii fit by relaxing after a very LONG day at work with some yoga. I never tried Wii fit but iit sounds like a great idea to get people motivated.
wii fit…a good way to still play games and get in shape!
Id fit wiifit in between work and play and finally bridge that gap.
I would you fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus in the morning as soon as I get up. I lost 12 lbs and would love to lose more.
How would you fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus? My problem isn’t the time, it’s the motivation that’s needed. I think I would be motivated to play/exercise any of the games you mentioned on a Wii Fit in the privacy of my home, no spectators! Hope I win.
I always have to work overtime and when I get home I have to go back out and workout. It would be great to stay at home and get a great workout!! That’s what I would do!
I would wii fit in the morning before work.
I will fit it in after classes, as soon as I get home!
I might even get my couch-potato boyfriend to join in, it is so much fun!
I’d fit it in between getting home from work and having dinner with the fam
I would exercise after I get my kids off to school.
I currently take my 90 year young Mother to therapy each day and one day each week she uses a wii fit to help gain back some mobility after a stroke. I would find the time to help her “play” games to hurry along this re-teaching her to use her limbs. And, I am certain that my kids would be more than willing to do the same, since we have no video games in the house (however, we did have an Atari 2600 years ago – and it WAS fun!).
I am definitely in need of a wii. I would wii fit in the morning, noon, and after work. Having been diagnose as type 2 diabetics as a teen, I’ve been trying to loose weight without success until a couple of years ago when I’ve managed to lose over 60 pounds but I’m still extremely overweight! Thankfully the weight loss did manage to control my diabetes but recently I have hit the plateau and find it more difficult to burn calories. This scares me because; I’ve been slowly gaining a bit of the weight back.
I have tried the wii fit demo at the mall and found it fun and quite enjoyable to exercise with but I can’t afford the price of the system however I want to get Fit with the Wii/fit! I need to get fit because I don’t want to get sick again.
I live in the great state of Texas and hot weather is just a given. I can fit the Wii fit every time I and my family need stay away from the hot sizzling Texas heat.
Having the Wii Fit would be great…with my one year old, stepping out to the gym is no easy thing. She’ll probably be crawling all over me while I work out on the Wii (an extra workout in itself!) but it’d still be better than driving over an hour to a gym with decent daycare facilities!
I live alone so there is no one to care that I will keep the Wii Fit smack dab in the middle of my living room. Just over there in front of the biiiiggg screen TV. Where better to keep the current object of my lust?
I get bored so easily with exercise. It would be a dream to have a high tech solution to eliminate my boredom, and keep me motivated to get and stay fit!
I would love to have something like the Wii fit to help me correct my yoga poses since I am not always sure if I am doing them correctly. Plus I like how interactive the games are, I am hoping they would lure my husband off the couch and interested in working out with me!!!
I know my girlfriend has been wanting to get in better shape, and being a gamer, I think this would be great for her.
i would fit it in on weekends and 2 days after work
I would fit my fit in when the hubby is at work so he can’t make fun of how imbalanced and clumsy I have gotten over the years….it’d be nice to have some balance again and to shed those extra pounds.
I would fit in some Wii Fit in the morning before the kiddies wake up.
Being a fulltime working, mom to 5 boys and 1 6 week old baby girl, it has been hard finding time to try to get fit. I think a Wii would help keep me motivated to find time to exercise and have the kids spend time with me playing with the Wii.
i would fit it in in the morning before the kids start moving.
I would fit in getting Fit with the Wii Fit plus after the kids have gone to school before my morning coffee/routine starts and then take turns with them in the afternoon.
I have wanted a Wii Fit plus for some time. I would like it to use in the morning before getting ready for work.
I have learned that the only way I fit any kind of workout into my day is to do it first thing in the morning before I talk myself out of it or find much more important things to do, like blogging, for example, and eating. So if I wake up the kids in my workout clothes and stumble straight down to the family room where the Wii is waiting for me to trip over it, I will definitely be able to fit Wii Fit plus into my day.
I would fit the Wii Fit into the morning,so that i would be engerized to start the day off perfect.thanks for such an awesome giveaway
I would fit in a workout on the Wii Fit after I get home from work…perhaps my kids would enjoy doing the workout too and then they wouldn’t bother me while I try to exercise.
I work at a restaurant and I work all kinds of crazy hours and while I have a gym membership, I’m rarely able to get there while it is open. Having a Wii Fit would really help me squeeze in some exercize in the morning before work or at night when I return.
I would use it early in the morning. I keep hearing friends talk about working out w/ it, looks like so much fun!!!
firstrosegrrl@yahoo.com
I think the best time for me to use the Wii fit would be on my days off and maybe once in the middle of the week so I could give myself a little pick me up. I must try to get myself in shape! Thank you for the opportunity!
Right after work – I promise! I was just diagnosed with diabetes, and the doctor said diet and exercise…NOW! OK, I got the eating part down ok, but oh my — that exercise part kills me! I am not a gym person, but I sure could get my Wii Fit on! I would come right home, change my clothes, and get to work on fitness with Wii Fit. Crossing my fingers for this one!
I would use it all year long. I hate trying to get exercise in the summer – too hot. Rain keeps me indoors and with my crazy schedule I don’t like being out too late. I am also diabetic and need to exercise regularly.
I would fit exercising on the Wii Fit between homework and bedtime.
I would so use this in the morning and at night. It’s time to start taking care of myself! I love that I can gets my kids involved into making exercize fun!
I would love this! I like yoga already, so I’d squeeze this in during the evening and in the morning! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
This would be the easiest way to work out after work!
I would make myself get up a half hour early to fit in my workout!
I would love to win this. I would use it to help the 3rd grade girls I teach on Wednesday nights to learn that fitness can be fun!
I’d have a partner,(my husband, he’s very competitive) & I’d do it at least 3 times a week & make it a habit to do Wii Fit.
I’d only let myself watch my evening TV favorites after a half hour of Wii Fit!
I have been disable since 2001, with both of my knees having alot of surgery on them plus having other medical conditions that I can not put on here right now but would tell later on. Being a single parent, raising four kids, which three are on their own now, since it is just me and the little one who is a 15 year old teenage boy it will give us more time to do things together as a family since both of us want to work out together. That means we would use WII in the beginning like twice a week then as each week increase it to were both of us are getting fit together.
I’d fit the Wii Fit in by setting it up in my bedroom. Ultimate privacy, right there when I wake up or come home to change after work. I’d feel great!
I would absolutlly go GA GA, I’ve been wanting one 4 EVER…& I’m on a fixed income—-Pick me
I love playing wii at my neighbors house. the havee wii sports resort.
I would get in 20 minutes worth of exercise before leaving for work.
I would fit some wii fit in everynight after my kid goes to bed. It would be fun and good for me.
I’d be on it first thing in the morning before work!
jdmimi at gmail dot com
I’d love to use it as a little extra confidence booster to lose some extra pounds!
My best friend keeps telling me that I’ll have so much FUN that I’ll want to exercise ALL the time with the WII FIT PLUS. And, I believe her! She doesn’t like to exercise either, but after getting it for Christmas, five months later she hasn’t gotten tired of it, and has lost 20 pounds. I love the idea that you’re so focused on completing the task that you’re not thinking about how many minutes are left until you can quit. I’m eager to take on that challenge of “playing and winning” while enjoying the calorie-burning benefits. Thanks for sharing this opportunity with us!
I’d do it while my kids were napping!
I will do this in the morning, in the afternoon at night, everyday all day, let me win!!!!!!!!
As a 42 y/o with 2 children, and recently being diagnosed with ms, I think that this would be great for me to try to use in the morning and nite to try to keep my muscles moving. Added plus to get my kids to do it with me! I may even lose the 30 pounds gained while the doctors were trying to figure out what was going on.
I would use this at home in the morning before the kids wake up. I have a 12 month old who I do not leave in child care so I am unable to go to the gym right now. It would be great to be able to get my workout in at home, with Wii Fit I would definitely be more disciplined about getting it done.
After dinner tends to be our fitness time in our house. The kids and I would do this together somehow.
I would love to use it before I make dinner
I would use it right when I wake up in the morning and any other time I was up to it.
t.m.price82@gmail.com
I would make it a play time ritual with my children…they love it when mom works out and are so cute as they try to immitate my moves!
Thank you. 🙂
I would use it while the baby is sleeping
I will use all day since I am home from college without a summer job. =P
Princezzd724@aol.com
I would use it after the kids have been put to bed
This would be great! I really really want to try the WII fit!
Hey! My wife, 2 kids and I are way into the Wii Fit the grandparents have, and would spend the most time on the balance games. We need the practice to compete with Grandpa.
I work full time and am a full time student so I would do it every time I needed a mental break at home from studying (which is often!). I would love it!!
I could do it in the mornings before work
I’d fit the Wii Fit in by playing it in the living room and work out with my fiance as a competition
I would love to try to get some Fit into my life after work. It would be fun and my boys could get involved to. Would be awesome!
graywolfpack5@yahoo.com
I would use it in the morning around 6am when my 4 yr old wakes us up. That way my son and I can get fit while the wife catches some ZZZzz’s.
-Slug
This would be great and I’ll be able to fit some wii fit in during the days that are too cold, too wet, and too hot to go out.
When it’s too cold to go running outside, Wii inside!
I would fit in Wii Fit Plus at least once a day every day. I love that you can work out on your own time in the comfort of your own home. Would be great for my family!
I think the best time for me to use the Wii fit would be when I don’t have much to do. I must try to get myself in shape! Thank you for the opportunity!
I would fit in wii fit plus by placing in on my livingroom that way instead of being a couch potato and watching tv, i’ll see the wii and choose to be active in a fun way throughout the summer! This would be great not only to get me fit, but for my family as well.
twitter follower
I would do it in the morning before work!

When I’d have time to fit the fit in? I would leave it at my mom’s and use it when I come over to visit her. Working out together is our thing that we do for fun and bonding time. I’m sure she’d love adding this great invention to our routine!
With 2 teens that are into sports and summer coming, the age old picking on mom to exercise with them is coming again. Ok I’m really over weight and should exercise but with breathing problems exercise is rough for me.
WELL mom if we had a wii with a wii fit comes my kids reply we could make family time exercise time, it would be so fum they claim.
My oldest daughter has one and claims its a blast, my teens explain how they want one its not fair the only time they get to play is when they visit their sister 1200 miles away. With one income hubby explains its not in the budget, oh sighs the kids we understand.
Mom when you find a contest giving a wii away could you please enter it everyday so we can maybe be a winner and wii the summer away
So I’m entering in hopes of winning to make my kids and me a lot less thinner and family winners.
Thank you so very much for giving me a chance to be a winner

I’d probably use Wii Fit in the mornings and coax my boyfriend into using it in the afternoon before he goes to work. We’ve played Wii games before and like them because they encourage you to get up and move, but we don’t have a Wii unit of our own. We usually borrow one from a friend.
I would fit in Wii Fit at lunch. I work at home and one of my co-workers (who also works at home) has a Wii Fit and swears by her lunchtime workouts. We could both work out at lunch and it would be like we were in a class together. lol
I would fit some wii fit plus in very morning and afternoon.I am a shy over weight teen, something like this would help me a lot.
joeswou@gmail.com
I would love to have the Wii fit plus so I could finally get moving to lose some weight. Loved the Qbert reference, I was a big Joust fan.
I’d leave the Wii hooked up, Fitness disc in and ready to go anytime I could use it for a few minutes.
I would like to win to give it to my wife since she just had our first baby (Peyton)!!! she would like to have a wii to help dropin weight but i love her anyway
I would be fitting it in my routine each morning around 4 AM, prior to going to work. Would love to start my day this way…
I’d love to win this! My husband and I are very competitive and my nephews would come visit more often!
I would fit my Wii Fit Plus in early in the AM!! Only way to go in my opinion!
I need some way to inspire myself to get in a workout first thing in the morning, because my days are too hectic to fit one in later in the day. The best would be something I can do in the privacy of my home and without too much of a time commitment. I think the Wii Fit Plus would be perfect for that. Plus it would be fun!
I would use this all the time, well almost, before breakfast
I work from home and this would be an easy way to get some exercise during breaks.
idahomom at cox dot net
I would use it daily
I would use it all the time.
This will be a great addition to my morning workout, to shed the baby pounds.
I would wake up at least an hour before my husband and kids and get to working out and I knw for a fact that this works because my sister has one and she has lst sooo much wieght and shes even feeling healthier these days and God only knows how bad I need to lose wieght because my doctor said I am ready for a heartattack if I don’t start some sort of exercising and I try to do my so called exercises from the Tv but sometimes the motivation slips by but when I se my sister and how good she looks that is a motivation I can definetly live by !!
I have a home business and this would be absolutely great for me to use this between calls and clients.
i need more cardio, hope this will help my middle
I would add it to my exercise regime…always need to spice things up.
I love video games and this would be a perfect way for me to finally get active and shed some pounds! I could even get the whole family involved so we could support each other in lifestyle changes.
being able to get a decent workount in at home would be great
With my children away for most of the summer it will give me lots of time to get fit with this set.
And definitely lots of motivation.
Thank you so much for the chance to win.

Get fit by having fun? Wii me, please …
I would really love to win this one. Believe it or not my mom’s Dr. suggested that I get a WII for my mom. She is in a wheel chair and there is not many exercise programs for people in a wheel chair. Playing WII is fun and you don’t feel like your exercising and this would enable her to move her arms and legs while she was playing thus building her muscles and getting her strength back as well as being able to loose a little weight. She used to love to bowl and dance so I know that she would love the bowling game that comes with the system and I just read on your site that the wii fit has the chicken dance and even though she can’t stand very well she can flap her arms and I know she would love that. Even though I get lots of exercise taking care of her all day the wii fit would allow me to get the right exercise and lose some much needed weight and stress.
I’d fit in some Wii Fit Plus in the A.M., before school. My mom would probably use it while I’m at school.
I’d fit it in while the kids are in school and the baby is napping!
i would love to get a work out every morning before school
Being a busy mom to 5 boys & a brand new baby girl, who also will be going back to her fulltime job soon, time is a very precious commodity. I think having a Wii fit would give me the chance to get some fit in whenever I have the chance.
I would fit the Wii Fit into my daily morning routine, just me and the cats at 5 am! Then the kids could use it later – maybe….
I would fit Wii fit into my everyday life after work. I work until Midnight, so being able to have something fun to keep me going after work is very important. !
I need a Wii and a Wii fit because I could use the workout daily. Thank you for offering this.
I would use the Wii and Wii fit to workout with my wife. We both are overweight and could use the excersise. Thank you.
I’ve been taking care of my mom post chemo, and have health issues of my own, so it’s very hard to get out and to get fit again – the Wii seems like it could be the answer!!
I know I could do it with some practice. It looks like everybody is enjoying the wii. I’d do it first thing in the morning to get my
heart athumpin’.
i would use it during my lunch break. i work from home but never have time to actually go to the gym since i could never make it there and back on my break. well i could make it in the door, say hi, turn around and go home. this would mean i could actually get in shape AND still get sleep at night!

Since the Wii Fit is so much fun, I would not have to “try” to fit exercise into my lifetstyle. No running out to the gym or weather related excuses!
I have enough free time to fit it in easily, but I’d try to get it in during the morning or early afternoon so put myself on a good, healthy schedule for the day!
wonderful prize
Looks like a great way to keep fit and have fun at the same time. Don’t worry, we’d have no problem fitting this great prize into our lives!
We would use it every day to expand our fitness routine.
We are grandparents, and would dedicate exercise time every afternoon!
We would fit the Wii Fit Plus in by making it a daily family event. When you include everyone, then you have to answer to everyone. No excuses. Thanks for the great giveaway!
The Wii and the Wii Fit Plus is amazing! It’s hard to find and I can’t afford to get one but I would love to get one for my mom.
I would love to use this to fit in some yoga into my morning before I head off to work!
I’m currently working three jobs and have been for the past few years. Trying to fit exercise into that is a near impossibility, especially with the volatile weather we get here. As a result, middle-age (ahem) spread has come to visit and I need to kick it to the curb. Having the Wii Fit system would be great for squeezing in that quick workout in the mornings and that rare evening off. And let’s face it, the fun of it doesn’t hurt the motivation either. It will also be a great way for my teens and I to share time rather than vegging in front of the TV.
I would fit some Wii Fit Plus in after work and on the weekends with my nieces. Thanks!
I could work out without anyone knowing that I work out so eventually people will say to me, “Hey, are you losing weight?”
I would fit my fit in throughout the day and evening to chase the muse while ignoring and distracting it with the Wii. Best way to catch it.
This is the perfect way to fit in some exercise without the mindset of “exercising”, instead, just having a great time with the family.
After I’ve taken care of the kids and my wife is off to work, I have the perfect opportunity to ‘fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus.’ And, knowing my wife would also enjoy the system, we would perhaps fit some extra fit in during the early evening. 🙂
I would fit wii fit in by playing it during the dull tv time of 7pm to 8pm. It sounds like a lot of fun for everyone!
just to get me motivated to move around, I live such a latent life, chair, to chair, to couch, to car… making a game of it, might be what it takes.
I would love to fit it some Wii Fit Plus inbetween my daily work schedule, my sons baseball practices/games and my daughter dance classes. Wii Fit Plus would not only help me relax after a stressful day/week but get me fit to keep up with the kids!
i want a wii so bad i would get up in the morning and use my wii fit to get fit.
Two words–disc golf!
I’m getting older and really need to get back in shape before it is too late. Got to keep up with my grandchildren!! Wii is a remarkable gaming system and is so fun. Exercise won’t seem like work at all.
My son and I have started walking in the evenings to get us into a little better shape, but some Wii Fit exercise would be a new avenue that I know would take my home by storm!
I would squeeze some fit in by playing it here and there through out the day.
I would love to have a Wii and Wii Fit. It sure would help me to get off the baby weight that I hav accumulated from my 2 children. I would use it throughout the day with my children. As well as starting the morning by myself on it!
I was just diagnosed as pre-diabetic and was told losing weight would help a lot. I think this would be good as I’m often too tired to go work out after getting home from work but this doesn’t feel like work or exercise and you can do it in the house or late at night. (I have trouble seeing so I don’t like to walk or drive at night).
I keep hearing about how good the system is, several members of my family have a wii, but I just can’t spare the money, sure would love winning one, I really need to get in shape. thanks for letting me enter
Just really need to lose some weight, the wii looks like so much fun, I would like to have some fun, other programs look so boring, another weight loss program, this one wouldn’t make you look at it that way. Really would love to win. thanks
Could use some exercise, my wife and I both could share, she is going to have twins, and myself just getting heavier because of pop addiction, I am cutting down but this exercise looks like so much fun, we would enjoy it so much.
Oh! I would love love love to use the Wii to fit in exercise on days when it’s too cold/hot/wet/otherwise icky to exercise outdoors.
I would use it in the morning by myself and at night with the kids.
I would use it everyday during my babies naptime!
x0jessiesgirl0x@gmail.com
I would use it everyday after work.
jenny1634 at hotmail dot com
I would love this so that I could put away an hour or so a day to do some work outs with my fiance. We’re both trying to get more healthy, and we’ve been looking for this!!
I would use it when the kids take a nap. Thanks for the chance.
SWEETANGL5632@AOL.COM
Our family our a bunch of avid game players whether it be board games or video games we love a great game of wii bowling
I would start every morning with it! (Well, maybe I would take Sunday off!)
nesta 67 {at} live dot com
Anything would help- I love this because I don’t have to go anywhere but my livingroom
I would get some wii fit time in right after work….
I will make time to use my Wii in the evening instead of spending time looking for something to watch on TV.
We tried some of the Wii games at my brothers and had loads of fun and laughter. Exercise never seemed so much fun.
It would be great to have for when my granddaughter comes to visit, couch potato time would go out the window.
I would fit in some wii fit doing some at home yoga since I’ve never had a chance to go and take a yoga class!
i2ylee@yahoo.com
Being that I’m home from college for the summer, I need something to do with my spare time. I don’t want to get out of shape while away from school. So I would fit the wii fit in through out my day to stay in shape.
italianrocker88@yahoo.com
I so need a wii. I want to work out in the privacy of my own home and to do it with the wii would be so fun. I really pray I win.
I would fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus by myself in the morning and with the kids in the afternoon. I might even be able to talk my husband into it in the evening.
I’d include my kids and we could all play together.
My mom has the wii fit, and it’s super fun. I love having fun and working out at the same time. Being ale to do it in home is a big convenience.
xbeautifulcoma at yahoo dot com
we could all play together.
virtual walking in WOW has not been working. i would instead spend all my time on the wii fit
I need a Wii and I need exercise. Great gift
I’ve tried walking off the pounds, but I’m always dragging four kids with me…now I can fit some fit in when Chubby-huggy is napping. I won’t have to stop every 2 minutes like I have to do when I attempt to walk. I may finally see some results with a Wii!
If I were lucky enough to win a Wii Fit, I’d be motivated to get up an hour early each morning to put in the time with yoga, jogging, and weight training for sure. It would be a great way to start each day, and, even better, I’d be able to focus on it completely before the rest of the household gets up! Thanks for the chance!
How would you fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus?
-Definitely in the morning before going to work. I don’t have time to go to the gym with going back to school and working full time. However, I am an early riser and the Wii Fit Plus would be the perfect alternative to sitting and catching up on emails before heading off to work. I also think this would be awesome for my husband to use as well. Thanks for the chance.
I would use it in the evening to exercise when I get home from work. It would make GREAT family time also!
I work night shift and so sometimes when I wake up in the afternoon I sit around and play my children’s video games. I have put on about 15 pounds this year from lack of exercise but I do like to play video games. This would be perfect for me! I could get my video game fix, get some exercise, and get rid of these 15 pounds. Thanks for the opportunity!
This is nice for me because I have shift work and sometimes it’s hard to work out at weird hours. This would let me work out anytime when I have free time.
I would Wii Morning, Noon and night!
i just had a baby and really could benefit from this
With a family of five and work, I do not have time to go the a gym nor do I have the funds to purchase gym equipment. (Not to mention, a place to store equipment) With a WII and WII fit, I could work out when it was convenient for me. Which would be early in the morning while everyone else was still asleep.
Thank you so much for the entry! This truly is a great giveaway!
first thing in the morning even if I have to get up an hr earlier!
I could do this with my kids on the weekend.
I’d think this would make exercising fun and I need more exercise. It is getting too hot to walk and I think I would use this instead of sitting on the couch watch television. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it, I’d like to try it for myself.
onedayitwillbealright @ gmail dot com
fit my wii fit in early in the morning, it is my only quiet time so I try to do household stuff and get lots done before everyone is up, this would fit in perfect!
I think I’d start each day off by using it! Wouldn’t that be a wonderful start to the day – exercise!!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to come home from work and play a little Flying Chicken! Great way to bring the family together AND get fit!
I WOULD -ouch- get up 30 minutes earlier to use it
I’d like to fit Wii in with my son and husband in the evening when we dont have anything to do.
skyxsky27(at)gmail.com
My 2 boys and I will wear each other out with Boxing!
My children go to bed pretty early so I would be able to use it in the evening.
I’d do yoga with my kids.
I’d use the Wii Fit Plus while my older kids are at school and my younger one’s napping . . . and I think it would fun to do as a family too.
WOW! This would be great to help us keep fit this summer especially on rainy days during summer vacation and even cold snowy days this winter! Fingers crossed! Thanks! senekers@comcast.net
This would be a great pick me up in the morning. I get up very, very early and would like to put the exercising behind me for the day.
Really decent post… I love it. Keep ’em coming… 🙂
I loved your article.. You are witty and entertaining. I love the pics illustrating your story too. My one friend has already lost 20 pounds with the Wii Fit. I’m glad this system and games is around!
While it’s hot outside I will enjoy getting fit with my Wii Fit Plus.
I’d love the Wii Fit Plus–It would give me the flexibility to fit exercise into my day any time, when it fits my schedule. My family would also benefit because it looks like so much fun, I know they would want to exercise too!
I would fit some time in the evenings before dinner! I wish I could say in the morning before work but I know that would be a total fib since I can never manage to get up early! LOL
Thanks
I would start getting some “fit” into my life by using the Wii Fit for yoga. I had recent spinal surgery and have been cleared for simple yoga exercises. Thanks!
ariel36disney [at] yahoo [dot] com
I would fit in a workout after college math class before the kids got home from school but summer is here so I would workout with them!
candyclc@gmail.com
I would get up an hour earlier than usual just to get some Wii Fit in!
I would just have to do so quietly! lol
I’d love to win this!! I need to lose weight and get in shape and this would be a ball to use!
I would use the Wii Fit Plus in the morning before I go to work. i am starting a new job soon and I think the Yoga exercises would be a great way to come into the office relaxed and confident
After the kids go to bed!
My husband and I both need to lose weight. I just started a physician-monitored program, but it’s hard to find time to exercise. We have some bad elements in our neighborhood, so we’ve cut out the walks we used to take around here. We try to walk downtown (where we work), but if there’s bad weather or an errand we need to run before the store closes or something, then we head out. With the Wii and Wii Fit, we could exercise indoors no matter what the conditions are outside, we can exercise after dark, whenever we have time, we have a way besides just boring old jogging in place.
I’d love the wii and Wii Fit Plus. I have some disabilities that making using regular work out equipment challenging. This would be perfect
I would Wii Fit Plus in the morning after I take my son to school.
I am currently trying to lose weight and with 2 children, running around all day and not really having time to go to the gym, I would use this as part of my morning work out, which I hear is beneficial and so I am really crossing my fingers on this one!! 🙂
Jordan B
I could fit it in the mornings before the kids get up or at night after they go to bed.
I’d fit some fit in between my classes in my dorm
Great for getting fit during the summer!!
I would play the wii fit with my girlfriend so we could both get back into shape! Awesome!
I could really use this! I would workout on it while my girls are at school. My oldest daughter also needs to get in some exta exercise. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would use the Wii Fit before work to do yoga or boxing!
I would use it every day to get into shape for my next pool party and vacation and I would allow my mother in law to use it so we can finally sell her step machine that is taking so much room in our living room.
I would use it with my daughter. She is a skinny little thing, but likes the sit down video games better than the stand up and do things video games. This way she would get some exercise, I would get some much needed exercise, and we could spend time together at the same time!
I would like to use this..as it looks like it would make exercise more fun. If I was to win I would fit this fitness Wii program in on a daily basis, sound like fun
I could use this to get my workout in at school where I do not have exercise TV on demand like I do at home!
I would use it to get a little fitness in over the weekends. My family works so hard to keep things going and in order, and they could use the fun time. I’m so busy at school trying to get into a good university, so time over the weekends is all I really have to get in a little fun and fitness. My parents are saving up the money for me, which I am very thankful to them for, so we all could really use the time together to get fit…as a family!!!
I would use it when I get home from work. My husband would
use it during the day. He had a stroke and he needs to be
able to exercise at home. Thanks so much
I would use the Wii Fitness to work on my core training in the privacy of my living room.
my son needs this to help him move more we have moved a lot and has no friends so he needs new things
I’d use the wii-fit to motivate my family into getting into shape, not to mention it would be a wonderful new game for my little nephew to enjoy, since he’s already showing signs of becoming overweight~
I need the Wii Fit to get me back in workout mode.
I have a sun allergy and can not go out much during the day.My evenings are busy with my 4 kids and hubby so I do not have time to go out and exercise.I would love to be able to use this during the day when I have my free time to get in some exercise.I am overweight and have diabetes so I really need to lose weight.My oldest is also borderline diabetic and overweight.She played this at a friends house and had so much fun.I think this could really benefit my entire family.Thanks!
lstanziani(at)yahoo(dot)com
I’d be able to fit in some fun exercise time on my normal rest/recovery days, and it’ll be a fun way to pass the time until football season begins.
I would compete in Wii Fit activities with my fiance instead of sitting on our butts watching TV.
I would use this when I got home from work because I heard that exercising in the evening is better for you. I’d use it at least 3 times a week. Probably with my hubby.
I’m sweating when I get done playing Wii Sports with my grandson so I would look forward to getting exercise with the Wii fit with my grandchildren. Thanks so much for this offer. camsgram@kc.rr.com
I would fit some fit in with Wii Fit Plus by waking up early and making exercise a priority.
I’d use the Wii Fit Plus later at night when my children are in bed
I’d use it with my kids! I think we’d all have fun doing it together.
I have done yoga for years and the yoga game on this wii system would be cool to try out. Thanks for the chance and good luck to all who enter, and happy summer!!!!
I imagine I would get up allot of mornings and play a game or two of bowling. My own private bowling alley in my own home. VERY COOOOOOLLLLL!!!
I’m an “empty-nester” and the grandmother of two (soon to be three!) I’ve found that having too much time on my hands add up to putting on the pounds. When you have little ones to care for, you have no time to eat and are constantly active! I used to be 115 lbs. after 2 children, but now have a tough time losing the weight. I’d make an appointment with myself daily to have “me time” for a Wii Workout!
Days are so very hectic, it’s hard to “fit in” fitness. I would love to use a Wii and the Wii Fit to incorporate a convenient way to stay healthier
kimbly at g mail dot com
I would set it up upstairs and do yoga
I’d fit it in when I get up in the morning; when I get home; after dinner (but not too late). Thanks for the contest.
I’d fit it in every chance I got. This would make exercise fun 🙂
Maybe I could rip the cable box off of one of the TVs so we’d only be able to WiiFit. The kids and I could live with that.
I could exercise while dinner is cooking.
I’d do the balance board exercises. I like skiing the best.
I would fit some fit in by getting my kids to do it with me! If they’re entertained they won’t be bugging me to do something else for them lol!
I would fit my getting in fit in the evening when I have an hour before bed after taking care of the family.
I would set some “Wii” time aside everyday to work out with my hubby… we could both use the exercise and the laughs!
i need this desperately, i need something to motivate my fitness. I would like to find a way to workout while still staying in and saving the money from the gym. Thanks for offering this up 🙂
I really need a Wii FIT!! 🙂
IT IS ABOUT TIME SOMEBODY MADE SOMETHING FOR A WOMAN AS WELL AS A MAN TO USE. KINDA MAKES YOU WANT TO GET UP AND MOVE SOMETHING, HUH? WHAT A MOTIVATOR…A WOMEN FEELS WAY MORE COMFORTABLE WORKING OUT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. FOR SURE. THIS WOULD DEFINETLY BE THE BEST GIFT I EVER RECIEVED.
Id fit in Wii Fit in the morning before work
I would use Wii fit in the AM before work or in the evenings with my son
I’d invite all my girl friends and we’ll do wii-fit together…what a great way to have party and remain fit!!
I wwould love to win a Wii! It would really help with my weight loss program. It would be a ton of fun to win a Wii!
my sister bought one WII Fit and i also use it. it is a great gadget.,;
family activities are very nice to have, it also strengthens the bond among family members ;:*
