Don't cheat just because no one is there to catch you. I think the important thing to remember about the WII, is that if you are serious and want it to work you have to do the moves correctly.

I really enjoy checking in daily to see how I am doing, it is much more inviting that our traditional weight scale. I'd like to recognize Nintendo's approach to fitness combined with fun. I dont think that the intention is to replace any vigorous excercise but simply to enhance it. I spin as well as take yoga on a regular basis. Checking in on Wii Fit daily keeps me aware of my weight and BMI, but more importantly my balance. Anything that creates such an awareness about your health, balance and lifestyle is great!!!

Like, whenever you see someone working out on the eliptical, you just know it's not that good a workout. Those people are almost always smiling and almost never sweating. Compare an eliptical or even a treadmill run to running outside. It's nowhere near as efficient indoors. I have to think that Wii Fit will be similar, but even less efficient. But I suppose for folks that wouldn't be working out at all otherwise, it's far better than nuthin'. Color me skeptical.
