Over the past couple of weeks, I have been looking to buy a used Wii and a balance board (Wii Fit). After several unsuccessful attempts to procure one through a local version of Craigslist/Kijiji, I tried my luck on Ebay.
Amazingly enough, there was a large number of Wiis for sale, so I had no problems finding a system for a good price. It was delivered on Thursday night and the rest of the weekend was spent on getting the Wii "tested."
Our Wii came with 9 games, so we will have enough playing material for a while. I love Wii Fit, especially the balance games. I find them extremely challenging and fun.
The fun thing about owning a Wii is that no matter what game you play, you end up being physically active, no matter what the game is. You are always in motion - ducking, weaving, shaking, or punching. Throw in the balance board and soon enough you are drenched in sweat but you're having fun.
In summary, a 15-30 minute session on the Wii leaves you feeling energized, entertained, and ready to take on the challenges in the REAL world.

I am thrilled to hear about your Wii. I have been shopping for one myself! I had thought I would get it at a Boxing Day sale, but now think I will get it immediately -- so that Carla can use it while she is here, and so that she can show me its features. Good on you, Ivan!
