I think not only will they love it, but you will too. They should be more available than last year.

The wife was hinting about the Wii fit the other day and my response was how will it look next to the towel rack A.K.A the treadmill! Yet your still here to talk about it today  I think I would have not survived that one.

The wii fit is fun and I have known folks that used it religously and lost weight. It does make it fun. I would suggest getting Mario Cart as well as it's a blast to play. If you google Biddy Boo's they are in stock.

You might be able to actually find a system, lucky, but can be done. Wii Fit on the other hand has been pretty tough to find, so if you see it, grab it.

Thanks for a tip on where to find one, Sandmannd.
I have one daughter who used a Wii Fit as part of her physical therapy. She had a stress fracture in her lower tibia a year ago that hasn't fully healed yet. They had her doing the downhill skiing and balancing stuff on her weak leg. She said it would probably be good for my daughter and hubby who both have MS. They need to keep up with balancing stuff since they are both weak on the left side. That is the main reason they are asking for the Wii Fit.
Same thing for me, I wont go into details but I had some medical problems over the summer that required extensive physical therapy. My therapist suggested wii fit for me to work at home with. I laughed at first, but now that I have actually tried it myself I use it everyday as part of my rehab. Its mostly for the balance and fine motor skills, but I can work for an hour on there and just be dripping in sweat. It has definately help aid in my recovery but also been very fun at the same time.
