Crazy fit is Crazy good!

Advantages: Dont break a sweat, can be used for all ages, quiet, lose inches!
Disadvantages: Cant drink a coffee while your on it!

...I live with my parents who have varying degrees of fitness and muscle tone. After visiting an old friend who suffers from severe problems with his circulation this machine is all my dad could talk about. His friend who is in his late 60?s was at the point of loosing his feet if he did not do something to improve his circulation. Being a very large man with not so good health anyway, normal exercise is not something he can comfortably do. Even a simple walk to the local shop is out of the question. So he used this machine and within a few weeks has improved his circulation so well that he is no longer at risk of losing his feet! He even lost weight too! My dad was very excited about this because he has a similar problem. Two years ago my father was very ill and as a result of this has lost part of one lung. His breathing is very...

Review of Crazy Fit Vibration Massage Plate Exercise Machine

A Crazy Fit Review

Advantages: Really Good Machine all round
Disadvantages: None that i know of

...I think this machine is brilliant not only do i use it but my wife and teenage daughter do to. If anyone doesn't know exactly what it does i'll try and give you a normal explanation to you, the vibrations caused by the machine are sent to your muscles and your muscles try to balance the vibrations so they are working really hard trying to create the same amount of energy as the machine. (I hope that helped!) Even just standing on the Crazy Fit Massage Plate can tone your muscles. You can tone muscles, recieve massages and lose weight by using the machine its really easy! But one tip and this is important!! KEEP YOUR KNEES BENT SLIGHTLY WHEN USING THE MACHINE AS THE VIBRATIONS COULD GO TO YOUR BRAIN! so be careful guys and hope this review helped you....

Review of Crazy Fit Vibration Massage Plate Exercise Machine

Wii Fit makes exercise fun for all ages!

Advantages: An innovative way to exercise, good fun for a party adults or children, tracks your weightloss
Disadvantages: It makes your character turn fat when you put on weight - which is quite embarrasing!

...I have had Wii Fit for over a year now. It brings a new way to exercise - whilst playing games. This product is a really fun way to get fit, without the feeling your doing exercise at the time. You can change activities so often, that when one excercise is too hard or you cant get the hang of it - you just try something else. Most of the games and excercises are only a few minutes each so you dont have time to get bored or notice how much you have done until you look at the timer. You can monitor you progress losing weight & set yourself realsistic goals to achieve your ideal weight. There something for everyone no matter what age you are! Really pleased I got one, and now there are more games being released there will always be something new to try....

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

wii fit

Advantages: weight loss or weight gain depending on what you choose to do. very fun games!
Disadvantages: its not entirely accurate, can strain yourself if you over do it.

...The Wii fits main aim was to motivate families to get up and exercise together, making it more enjoyable for children and adults. It was also to be seen as an insentive to exercise and stay healthy and help keep a steady BMI (body mass index). Wii fit is an amazing game in which you as a user can stand on the Wii balance board and interact with the game. The balance board is like a set of scales it can determin your weight and which is your most dominant foot. But its not just a set of scales it senses every movement you make so that the Wii can then calculate your Wii fit age and keep you interacted in whatever game you are playing. The Wii fit game comes with many games to play. You start of with a few activites to do but the more you progress on with game the more you unlock ,making exercise much more harder and making it a fun...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

A decent in-front-of-the-telly magnetic exercise bike

Advantages: Low cost magnetic resistance bike, pretty sturdy for the price
Disadvantages: Seating position not necessarily the most comfortably, not great for shorter people!

...adjustable, but having the seat at its lowest setting puts me at about my comfort limit for reaching the pedals (this may be a contributing factor to the seating position issue discussed in the previous paragraph). I'm a little shorter than the average bloke, but at 5'7" I don't consider myself to be unusually tiny, so this is possibly not the best choice of exercise bike for anyone much shorter than me, unless you own a decent pair of platform trainers. Niggle #3 is possibly compounded by niggles 1 & 2, so if, unlike me, you're a sensible height, then this may not apply to you: The handlebar-mounted computer is awkward to see, and its angle is not adjustable (beyond the minute adjustments available when fitting the handlebars in the first place). Value for Money For what it is, this exercise bike compares favourably with its peers in...

Review of Pro Fitness Foldable Magnetic X Bike

  Wii Fit

Advantages: great for weightloss, fun for all the family, improves posture, balance and health
Disadvantages: expensive, can only register up to 8 family members

...Our Wii Fit was brought as a birthday present for my 9 year old brother, although to be honest it was probably more of a gift to us!! What is a 'Wii Fit'? Before explaining what a Wii Fit is, I will explain the equipment you will need for it. The Wii Fit works on a Nintendo Wii - the Wii is a games console, which uses a handheld remote for interactive play (simulating tennis etc). In addition to the games console you will need a Wii Fit balance board. This can be used with other games such as skiing etc but will initially be purchased with the Wii Fit software. The Wii fit balance board is a rectangular board, which the user stands on, and it links up wirelessly to the Wii and is used to improve health through balance games, muscle and yoga poses and aerobic exercise games. The Wii fit balance board measures and monitors...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Wii Fit

Advantages: Helps you lose weight, tracks your progress
Disadvantages: You need quite a bit of space for the balance board

...As someone who has a bad back, and could also stand to lose a few pounds in weight, I finally gave in and bought the wii fit. Basically, all it consists of is a balance board and CD with the Wii Fit activities on it. Like the Nintendo Wii controllers it is completely wireless which is great for storage, when you finish you can just slot it under your bed or in a cupboard. To start off you create a character for yourself in the Wii Fit Plaza, which is based off your Mii. The main idea is to have a daily body test which charts your weight, bmi, wii fit age etc and then go on to do some training in the form of either balance, aerobic, muscle exercise or yoga. This is kind of embarrassing, especially for me when my mii suddenly got a lot fatter! After completing the body test you are given a wii fit age, which you aim to reduce by...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Wii Fit

Advantages: Healthy, Loses weight, Fun
Disadvantages: None

...Nintendo Wii Fit (Wii Fit) I got Wii fit on Christmas day 2008 and ever since I have not got off it. I am a really big gamer and when I bought the Wii i thought it wasn't going to be good and it wasn't that good as the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3, but when I got Wii Fit for it I have been playing it one hour a day every day. I do all kinds of exercises on it. Including Jogging, Push up's, Step aerobics and many more. It really is a good way of excerising because it is fun and you don't even know that you are excerising! Whats in the box... In the Wii Fit box there is not too much, there is a Wii fit balance board, Wii fit Wii game, Four AA Batteries and Manuals. What games is there on the Wii Fit game... There is all sorts of games on the Wii Fit, there is boxing, jogging, Push ups, side ups, step aerobics and many more...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Better that Wii Fit but ........

Advantages: A great improvement on Wii Fit
Disadvantages: You need to be self motivated to stick with it

...I bought Wii Fit last year and have now used it for over 400 hours so I guess you could say I have had my money's worth out of it. I do like it but it has its shortcomings not least of which is the fact that it takes a long time to work through a routine so I was pleased when I heard that Nintendo were bringing out a new versions and I wanted to see what that offered. Wii Fit Plus is intended to overcome some of the shortcomings and to allow you to plan a whole routine rather than do it piecemeal and have to wait between exercises. I preordered mine via Amazon where you buy Wii Fit Plus for just £17.99 if you already have the Wii Balance Board or £79.99 with the Balance Board. As this is a full product review I will outline everything that it does which does include everything on the original Wii Fit so if you already have Wii...

Review of Wii Fit Plus (Wii)

Wii Fit

Advantages: Easy way to keep fit.
Disadvantages: Can't think of any.

...! Some even do it for fun! I've also heard it's useful if you like doing exotic things in bed :). Muscle Workouts I spend most of my Wii Fit time (or, I try to at least) on the muscle workouts. Until May of this year, I was still being forced to do P.E. (punishment exercise, or is it physical education - no, I think the first one is right). Thankfully, we didn't have showers so I didn't have to get completely naked in front of everyone - I just had to strip down to my underwear - but that meant that everyone could still see the rest of my body. I'm a bit overweight and unlike the other guys I'm not very muscly. Since the gym thing didn't work out, I thought this might make me super strong and muscly! Unfortunately, I'm not quite a bodybuilder yet but I'm getting there. When I've been using the Wii Fit, I've seen definate...
