Since you havent tried it, I didnt mean it to be directed at you yourself. However whenever people take offence to things I say in general it always makes me wonder why they are so sensitive lol!

No bashing so far in this thread; in fact, the closest thing to ad hominem attacks have come from the Wii Fit crowd defending it. In fact, like I've said in this and the only other thread I've taken part in about this product, I would absolutely love for people to prove me wrong about this because that ultimately means more people getting into bett...http://www.traineo.com/12_5864_0.htmlSat, 10 May 2008 21:32:23 +0000http://www.traineo.com/12_5864_0.htmlI got Wii fit when it came out and even though everyone is saying they dont see how it can actually help & the time would be better spent on something else, I actually think its great.

Wouldn't you agree that it would be extremly difficult to lift weights for 3 hours non-stop? Yes. It's not recommended you do it for that long. I played the Wii Fit game for three hours because I was looking forward to the game for over a year or so now. I'm going to play it at least 30-60 minutes a day.

Welcome to the Internet! You probably don't want to hear it from me, but here's a tip: Honestly, in just about every online community, your post is just a delicious appetizer of angst that promises to lead to a beautifully prepared entree of anger with a generous side of frustration and that, in the end, is all us bullies want.

I've posted a few threads from Wii fit to inform everyone about it and I never stated this should be their main exercise routine, that would be stupid. The reason why I posted this thread is because I actually got the damn game and am more pleased with it than I thought I would be. I'm seriously sick of hearing about people that just don't like it, ok? I posted it to share my experiences and I say it's fantastic and so do millions o...http://www.traineo.com/12_5864_0.htmlSat, 10 May 2008 00:35:31 +0000http://www.traineo.com/12_5864_0.htmlQuoting: nicholmanFWIW, if I spent 3 hours lifting I would be worthless for at least a week, and none too pleased with the idea of returning!

Who really enjoyed running or lifting the first time they did it? If you never keep at it to the point where you see yourself grow, you'll never love it. Thats why so many people drag themselves to the gym every day filled with loathing, they never put enough into it to achieve proficiency, and never learned to enjoy it....http://www.traineo.com/12_5864_0.htmlFri, 09 May 2008 15:58:46 +0000http://www.traineo.com/12_5864_0.htmlYour time is best spent doing exercise that you enjoy. If you try to force yourself to do stuff that you hate, you will quit sooner. Wii fit probably cannot stand alone as your exercise, but if it keeps you motivated, then I say it is time well spent.http://www.traineo.com/12_5864_0.htmlFri, 09 May 2008 15:40:33 +0000http://www.traineo.com/12_5864_0.htmlQuoting: sianlee5After my first day, I did 3 hours worth of exercises!!!
