After a month of using the Wii Fit, four doctors in Australia tell us what they think

What do you think of the Wii fit so far?

• Desiree: It’s fun and useful!  It gives you a chance to assess your health-age while enjoying the process
• Siegfried:  It’s fun and challenging. Makes exercising a lot less boring
• Edmond: Its okay, but I usually just use it to check my progress in exercising
• Adrian: It was an interesting toy. “Creative calisthenics.” But don't get me wrong, I wouldn't replace real sports for it

Why did you buy it in the first place?

• Desiree: It’s an addition to our newly acquired Wii console
• Siegfried: We wanted to start off with exercises again. We used to be in a gym. We thought it might be interesting to try it
• Edmond: I bought it so that I can exercise while playing
• Adrian: To burn calories at the same time have fun

• Desiree: Hoola hoop, yoga, tightrope. I found that the Hoola hoop helps increase your cardiorespiratory reserve. On the other hand, the yoga games help improve my flexibility
• Siegfried: I like playing the muscle workouts and yoga. I’m quite familiar with a lot of the exercises in the muscle workouts and yoga so they are a lot easier for me to do
• Edmond: I only play the aerobic games at this time. Weight loss thru calorie-burning exercises are my priority
• Adrian: I’ve tried the muscle workouts and balance games. The muscle workouts I found quite difficult. There are movements that need to be learned differently from the way you exercise in the real world

2. Greatly improved movement from older GTA games, Niko can scale walls now!
3. Multiplayer is a blast to play with people you know
4. So many things to do.. not enough time to play

Cons:
1. Hanging out with your virtual friends becomes a chore
2. No ambulance or firetruck mini games :(
