for those of you who have been thinking about the new wii fit game -- wiifit plus -- its absolutely so awesome, and so much better then wii fit (which it also sycronises with).  Not only does it have  an extra 69 activities,  It also has training programes (including target areas eg stomach, legs, back etc)  and you can even create your own training programe.

Its also got a calorie check and calorie goal as well as other features

ohh and did i mention its also MULTI PLAYER, so you can do it with friends / family

(yes it does use the balance board also but you can buy the game standalone if you already have it

Ohh i think someone said in the other thread its on special at kmart for $25, i bought mine off ebay for $33 inc post as i couldnt find it in the b&m stores

Keep in mind buying the first wii fit game and board on ebay works out to be more expensive then in the stores - i dont know why that is but i have been trying to keep my eye open for just another board and have been watching the prices go up

ohh dianasaur it took me a little while to work out how to not get pots falling on my head - but i think i got it now (i hope lol), i cant remember the hame of the game but the one where your on like a motorbike cross mower thing where you need to squat and go around the beach looking for the balls now thats a fun squatting game, i finally worked out what the ending to that was -- i saw the mole steal the ball, but ohh gee, my legs will pay for that later today, that cute lil puppy i had running everywhere

I really like the rythem marching - thats good fun even though i got a bit out of time with the marching (well im sure the whistle stopped blowing lol).  I got in and have done a fair few of them over the weekend while the girls were busy - i had to, because i know my name will only stay at top score for ohhh 2 seconds when they get on it, and they kick my butt

The thing i really like about the wii, is not only can you do it in your own home with total privacy whenever you can, its also challanging the mind as well as the body but it makes it fun.

Hubby and i dont go ususally for the game machines, as i  believe kids these days spend way to much time in front of the tv but i bought the wii for mothers day and have only bought games that make you get up off the couch.  The rules in our house are simple here, if you want to play it, you must stand or follow the lead of the game - no sitting on the couch.  But it is great for a sat night, or any other night when you want to bring the family together, we often stick it on and play bowling or tennis or vollyball or whatever -- even hubby will give it a go when hes home (which is fantastic to see)

It works out to be a lot cheaper for us, as just to go bowling would cost us about $100 plus dinner (ususally subway), so its already paid for itself.  Only problem we have now, is we need a bigger house, and a bigger tv As we have a big family and a little loungeroom

So theres 4 now i have discovered where you are walking lol

Ohh dianasaur isnt it fun!!

The kids have just put it on, so i am going to loose my no1 spot that i have held in most things all week, ohhh well, at least i know for a week i was a champion!! hahahah
