I HAVE WII AND FIUND IT MOST BENEFITIAK - UP UNTIL I COULD NOT BALANCE AND I COULD NOT USE IT THEN - I CAN STILL PLAY THE BOWLING And tennis though sitting down ...

ya, i agree.... the balance became an issue with me also, but in the beginning it was great! we actually played wii once or twice while in physical therapy. at home i have xbox and i have a really good exercise tape. it has all kinds of exercises to help with balance and coordination. anything from regular exercises to yoga and dancing. it's pretty awesome! i can only play when i am good. can't use as much as before.

[hanuman in reply to Hidden]

Nintendo Wii is a games console which you can use to virtually play sports, games etc which is said to improve things like balance, coordination & fitness.....

I suppose some could call it self abuse, excuse my wicked sense of humour.

[bawford in reply to Hidden]

This willl depend upon the game, the reason for playing and of course the oponent. The dog is a good choice for me.

As long as the dog dosen't stop at every lamp post.

I also have a Wii fit and used to use it regularly. However, as I am having problems with pain in hips, back and knee have been advised by physio not to use it at the moment for exercise. Will be using it again when I am given the go ahead. However, she did suggest that I should use the centre of gravity test to ensure that my gait is correct, and/or to help me correct it. I do not have Zumba on my box, so must enquire about this as my daughter teaches Zumba and could give me some tips.
