No CommentsBecoming a Family of Fitness
Before our family acquired a Wii Fit, none of us were actively into fitness. I had been to a few yoga classes, but didn't have a consistent yoga practice. My husband sits for hours at his job. Exercise for him is moving his fingers on the keyboard. My kids like to skateboard and shoot basketball but not any type of fitness, you know, the good kind that make you tired and sore.
Now, if we want to work up a sweat, we play the Wii Fit. So nice to have a family pastime that is good for our health!
I admit I am a little bashful working out with others but this is what I love about the Wii Fit. The ability for me to practice yoga, go for a mini jog, do strength exercises, complete with a encouraging personal trainer, in the privacy of my own home. My interested in yoga has now expanded into a twice weekly class. I feel more confident and can feel the difference in my strength and flexibility. I even have more energy to get through the day and climb the staircase at the school without becoming winded!
I love how the game tracks our activity and

It is looking more and more that the couch potato, thumb-powered gaming era is no more. The Wii Fit with the Wii Balance Board has revolutionized video gaming into a healthy game of fitness. The world has gone crazy over the Nintendo Wii Fit with over 5.2 million copies sold during the first half of 2008. If you don’t happen to be in that group of lucky Wii Fit gamers, you are missing out a lot!
As we move more and more closer to the Holiday season, all gaminig consoles like the Nintendo, Sony PlayStation and Xbox are selling like crazy. There’s even talk that Nintendo Wii 2 HD is currently in research and design at Nintendo. Rumor has it to be around 2010 when the "Wii 2 HD" comes out.

No CommentsBuying a Wii Fit on eBay Tips
Before you can buy anything on eBay, you need to be a registered user. First of all, go to ebay and create an account for yourself. You need a working email and must be 18 years of age or older. Once you receive your confirmation email, you're all set.
There are a few tips to keep in mind when shopping for a Wii Fit on eBay. First, watch out for over-inflated prices and shipping costs. Some sellers will try to gouge you with either the price of the item, or by inflating the shipping price to make up for what they are not getting in the item price. Consider what a fair shipping price would be for a Wii Fit (shipping weight 10.09 pounds) …and any additional accessories that may be accompanying it.
A shipping price of $20 - $30 may not be excessive. While prices have dropped since June 2008, auction prices for the Wii are still averaging

No CommentsBuying a Wii Fit on Amazon
There are other online sources for the Nintendo Wii Fit besides eBay. There are other auction sites like Yahoo, as well as reselling on Amazon or an online classified site like craigslist. You may also luck out and find a Wii Fit online at a major retailer like Walmart or Best Buy. The key word when dealing with these large retailers is luck.
While the Wii Fit tends to run a little higher on Amazon than on eBay, some people don't mind paying a little bit more because they may feel more secure on Amazon. By using sites like eBay and Amazon that give the buyers some amount of protection, many buyers feel more secure about purchasing a high ticket item like a Wii console or Wii Fit, even if it does cost a little more. You can also feel better because you can check a seller's feedback on these two sites to see what other buyers' experiences have been.
Another nice thing about Amazon is you can see how many people purchased the item you're looking at, read reviews people have posted about
