Wii Fit

Didn't Racemate have a version that worked with the original Nintendo
console?

I think Racer Mate still allows for interactive over the web racing.

Actually just get a Tacx trainer with the iMagic unit and plug into your PC
for simulated rides through the U.S. or Europe or virtual races on the road,
MTB, and velodrome with the Fortius software.

Yup, then we could have online races from the comfort of our living room.
Might actually make trainers interesting.

And no worries about getting numbers correctly pinned!

I'm not sure about the US version, but in the Japanese Wii
Fit version, there are also a lot of really good core-muscle and balance
exercises.

Yes, my 12 year son definitely enjoys Wii Fit.

I didn't do the hula hoop because I understand that one of the
requirements is that you film yourself and post it on YouTube. If you
thought the mud wrestling was obscene....

Just one person at a time on the pad, but you can set up competitions.

The games are fun and I agree with Kevin they are harder then they look and yes you will sweat.

I don't have any kids, but I bet they would enjoy it and hey it is exercise.

Have fun

We have the Wii Fit system, and although it can be entertaining, we get
more mileage out of the Wii Sports games that come with the unit. The
Wii Fit lets you track your fitness progress through body weight and
balance, and the skiing game is a lot harder than it looks. Actually all
of the Wii Fit games are challenging because they function off of weight
shift, which is almost counter intuitive for those of us who tend to
muscle through physical activities. But for exertion, the tennis and

What is your thought about it? Plus and minueses. Is it worth the $100

Also, do you know if you can have more than one person use it at at time
or is it just a one on one platform?

Nintendo's web site doesn't answer that one or I can't seem to the info,
