We have the wii fit board, and my husband is a qualified personal trainer and finds, not only Wii Fit, but the normal Wii quite cool. The thing with Wii Fit is that it is not low impact training, it's no impact. That means, that anyone can use it safely, no matter what your fitness level. It is fun, but well, agreed on the point that for weight loss probably not... I'd rather go and just play Wii boxing if I wanted to loose weight, but the muscle work outs are pretty good I must say. (The more muscle you have on your body, the more your body uses energy and the more you burn fat so...) As all exercises, Wii doesn't give you over night results, but it is fun... I wouldn't use it in the mind set of "I must loose weight this much and that much by next week" but rather "I'm finally doing something other than just sit and eat in front of the telly, and I'm having a ball." But... If you already have Wii and want to loose weight, get a nunchuck instead and play Wii boxing, which raises your heart rate to optimum weight loss level without you even thinking about it. And remember, 80% of weight loss is diet, not exercise. I must somewhat disagree with you on this one.
