We all love it. It’s working to motivate us to work out (pretty much daily now!). Just because it’s so darn fun!

So how is it? I’m thinking of hunting one down.

Oh, I say go for it! I bet you’ll be able to get one. It’s tons of fun (especially if you like to ski or have ever skiied or have even ever wanted to ski – then you should also get the WeSki, actually). One of the fitness games is slalom and ski jump and they’re both pretty fun.

It actually motivates all of us to get up & start working out. That’s always the hardest part, right (getting motivated?).

Now we want this and I am so reluctant to go through all THAT again.

But a very sweet story. There is still some goodness in the world.

I love it! The whole family loves it. Our son wants to do it every day to keep up his fitness level. Not sure how long the enthusiasm will last, but for now, we’re all obsessed!

My SIL works at a major electronics/office supply store and their rule is that they can not purchase or hold any merchandise until the end of the night. Just because they work there, they are not privy to the first shipments.

He did a good deed and I am so happy for you!!!!

I have cancer in my hip and I am planning on getting one this week. My daughters say it is a two in one deal if we get wii fit and wii ski, because the balance board will be used when the wii fit is not…..(tricky)

On mother’s day, even though wii fit was not out yet, I recieved Mario Kart…..(suspicious) It was sweet though when one of my other gifts was another wheel. Although I have yet to figure out if it is for me or my other daughter. LOL

I have to agree about the WeSki. I think the Balance Board makes WeSki about a million times more fun.

What a fun Mother’s Day gift – I’ve heard MarioKart is great. Have fun!!

Somehow, we have escaped the WiiCult, but this may be a bandwagon I need to jump on!

Have fun!

You won’t regret it. If you let yourself get absorbed into it, you might find yourself chuckling (or even laughing!) You won’t have any excuses not to run, though, Dan!

I’m on the prowl for a WiiFit, for sure.. :D

I think it’ll be worth prowling for! I hope you get one, too.

Glad to hear the story made you feel that way. I thought maybe I was being too mushy about it, but I was so touched by his gesture. Very cool guy.

Things like that are great.

When I worked in Detroit my Parking Lot Prince let me park for free (and gave me $10 for my client) so I could make a court date with my client (she and I had no money). I went back and parked there one more time, then tipped him 3 times what he gave me.

I love kindness!

Yep. The world sure needs more moments like these. Bring on the kindness!!
