She can do step aerobics, hula hoop, balance games, etc. It might be an incentive to help her become more active. It also has a body measure feature that can track your weight gain/loss. Nothing is discouraging about it, in fact the Mii's (instructors) are very encouraging.
If she already has a game system I think the balance board is around $80.
I hope her parents realize that they control the situation. What they buy at the store is setting the example of what's eaten. Best of luck to Samantha.  |
My Husband tried to talk them into getting the wii and the wii fit for her when they were buying a game system. They wouldnt they bought her a playstation. We know the reason why and it is because we have that system we bought it for our daughter yrs ago and they dont want to do the same thing we do. They have to buy a different system than us. They even told a neighbor that so thats why we know. Anyway thats how small and petty they are. But yes I agree with you it would have been good for her to have a Wii
