Exclamation Gadget Flashback: Wii Fit

Nintendo's Wii Fit was quite the rage for a while. The sets flew off shelves back in the late 2000's.





We still have ours and use it almost daily. We like to go for a walk in the evening, but if the weather is bad we Wii bowl. We never get any better, LOL! Still, it is better than flopping on the couch after dinner.

I really like the balance games, too. I got so good at the Soccer, that I had perfect scores every time. I tried it a few months ago and got nothing but shoes to the face.

I like the Walk It Out game. I haven't done that one in quite a while.

Does anyone still use theirs?

We pulled ours out (and replaced the batteries) and played it just the other day. We like the balance games (skateboarding and skiing, especially)!

We passed ours along to a friend with kids once our son stopped using it.

Alison, we may still have some games left that your kids could use. I will check tonight and message you. They should get used by someone!

No. And we actually don't have the Wii anymore, just the WiiU (which plays our old Wii games.)

I got ours out a few weeks ago, thinking the grandkids might have fun with it. They played it for a little while then got bored. And I can't find some of the games we used to have, like the balance games. I found a used disc of one of the sports games at Game Stop. Who knows - they may decide they like it after being cooped up for awhile!

I got rid of the wii fit which my family got for me since they know I love fitness. That was sweet of them but I don't need a game to get me to work out.
However we still have the wii and I use it for Just Dance periodically which is so much fun. I will have to get back to it.

Oops! I will see if anyone else can use them.
