Additional Comments: My sister & BIL got a Wii for Christmas. Since Christmas Eve, we have been on a Wii game & Wii fit marathon. I was so sore yesterday, I could barey drag myself out of bed. The ironic thing is that I work out regularly. LOL! I simply MUST get one of these things. What a workout. My poor hip is killing me this morning after kicking some butt with the Wii hula. If you haven't tried it, I was amazed at how aerobic it is. After a big meal & a couple of glasses of wine, it took me 15 minutes for my heart rate to return to normal & to catch my breath. I did really good though, LOL! My favorite was bowling. I wasn't very good at it but I loved it. Everyone else was topping 200 on their scores. I was happy to get over 100 even after playing game after game after game. Every store in this county is out of Wii games though. I called them all. WalMart is expecting a shipment this week. I guess we will be getting a post-Christmas present & it's going to be mine, not the kid's.

Liz! Too funny ) You and Cameron will be having to post your respective timelines to use Wii! My boys have Wii and I've been on there too and you're right it is a workout. I started doing pilates on and off in the spring and got a similar 'burn' from doing Wii! A much more enjoyable way to exercise too!

Sorry you hurt your hip but at least you had some fun first, lol. Don't you know we're getting old and can't do all the things we could before? At least Cam will have company playing the games ... if you let him!

My hip hurts, my butt hurts, my bowling arm & upper back hurt. I'm a mess. LOL! I have already warned Cameron that if I buy one, it's mine!. He's got a PS2, a PSP, an X-box 360, a game cube & 2 game boys. I've never touched any of those game systems except for one time I played guitar hero. They booed me & said I sucked. LOL...................Liz

I know what you mean! We got a Wii for Christmas and my husband has been wii-ing like a madman. He hurts today! My daughter is really good at the hula. I'm having a harder time with that.

About the games being all sold out ...if you buy the wii console, it comes with Wii Sport - that gives you bowling, golf, tennis and boxing. That can keep you busy til the games are in stock. You might also be able to rent the games at your movie rental place.

It's not the games that are sold out, it's the consoles themselves. I want to buy the console. Eventually, I want to buy the Wii Fit too.....................Liz

I had to laugh at your post. Not because you're in pain, but I can totally relate. The first time I played Wii, I didn't think I would get much out of it. Boy was I wrong! It is a lot of fun. I won't give up my regular workouts at the gym, though! LOL.

I've been a regular at the gym for years but this thing woke up muscles that I didn't know I had!.....................Liz
