Can you really get in shape using Wii fit only?

I have read a lot of different articles and blogs about people saying they got in shape and lost a bunch of weight using the wii fit.  I can’t say if this is true, I don’t think much weight loss would be happening by just using the game the wii fit comes with.  If people are actually loosing a lot of weight by playing just this game, then they must of significantly changed there diet as well.

All about Balance
The basic Wii fit game is fun, but I wouldn’t call it much of a workout.  It is more teaching you about balance and thinking about your posture.  Most of the games deal with balance and it is kind of fun to see how bad your balance is.

One Good Thing
One thing I really like about the game is that you get to set up weight loss goals and you get to have a little calender that you update everyday which can show you progressing toward your goal.  That alone would make me want to play this game again.

Overall Thoughts
Overall though the games are very basic and not hard what so ever, I’ll have to see how they progress and if they get harder as you unlock different moves and levels.  But one of the things the trainer says to you is don’t breath hard you’ll raise your blood pressure.  So it is obvious that this game is more about balance and not about getting your sweat on.

I know there are other balance board games that are more about getting your fitness on, maybe I’ll try one of those out in the future.

Compared to P90x or Insanity workouts
If you have done p90x or the Insanity workouts your probably going to think Wii fit is a bit lame.

If you have gotten in shape just using Wii Fit let me know and also what game you used!
