It is ILLEGAL to not copy the arm movements during the rhythm step games. You MUST dance with the other miis
omg so glad to know it wasn’t just me
help why did i read that as milfs
TBH I just shook my arm to run during the running games
Uhhhhhhhh, I think I'm on the fbi watch list now
Aggressive
The worst part about all this is that there are gonna be kids who are so young that they’re never heard of the Wii fit and watch this video in the future to learn about it. God I feel so old sometimes
same here. good lord. luckily i definitely don’t feel 25 even tho i am lol
Same
i dont think i had heard of wii fit before watching videos about it (maybe this one, maybe another one idk) but i wasnt like surprised or anything cuz i had heard of (and played) the wii :P
The fact that most kids arent gonna grow up playing with the wii makes me kinda sad in general
If you'd like to feel even older:
if the Nintendo DS was a person, they would have graduated high school a year ago
if the PS3 was a person, they'd be in high school.
if the Wii was a person, they'd be in high school.
if the Wiiu was a person, they'd be in 5th or 6th grade.
if the PS4 was a person, they'd be in 4th or 5th grade.
if the Nintendo Switch was a person, they'd be in kindergarten or 1st grade.
There are kids the age of the first Sonic movie who can walk, talk, run, write, count, and read.
There are kids born at the start of the pandemic who are about to start kindergarten.
There are teenagers the same age as Wii Sports who work at Burger King.
There are teenagers the age of the first iPhone who can drive or are learning how to drive.
There are kids younger than Minecraft who know how to do long division.
There are kids younger than the first FNAF game who know how to do multiplication.
There are kids younger than rage comics who can sign up for UA-cam (without needing to lie about their age).
There are people younger than the first (and best) Spongebob movie who can vote.
There are people younger than Family Guy who can also vote.
I just think its interesting. :)
The wii fit's cheeky "that's obese" has lived in my head rent free for years.
Imagine the people stepping on them these days🤣 bout 300 lawsuits a day for the frist week
Im 70kg and 179cm tall and got normal weight (male)
@@Jallu555that sounds fairly normal for a man
@@ghanifnI’m about 40kg at about 163cm as a girl 😅
@@Jallu555 I'm 70kg at 1,70m... that's still a healthy weight tho! I've never played wii fit because my mom wouldn't let me play video games as a kid >:(
getting verbally abused for 90 days challenge!!!
Should I rename it? 🤔
yes it would be funny
@@Keelvin
@@KeelvinHell yeah! That would be great!
DO IT OR I SHOOT YOU /j
@@Keelvin you know you want to [like how i want to see those TOEEEES!!!!]
Using the board on carpet can be the reason why alot of numbers were off. If you ever do this again, definitely use the board on a hard floor instead of carpet.
True! That is something i thought about but the only non-carpet i have in my house is the bathroom and kitchen so…
@@Keelvinget your homies and play WiiFit in the bathroom
@@Keelvinyou could put a sheet of wood or something down- as long as it’s thick and sturdy enough to hold the weight of a grown human being lol
Also I noticed that sometimes your board was backwards. The button should face your butt :)@@Keelvin
You could get a sheet of hard material to lay across the floor.@@Keelvin
This game gave me some irreparable body issues as a kid. But I feel like I want to dig up the old balance board to give it a whirl again if the batteries inside haven't corroded and eaten their way though the whole thing. 😂
I actually found it hilarious with the board calling me obese off the charts...
I also liked Phyllis and Resetti from Animal Crossing.
What is wrong with me
My mom’s still mad at me for breaking her Wii Fit Balance Board after she kept nagging me to play Wii Fit. No regrets by the way. 😏
If you let a dumbass Nintendo game fuck you up for life then there was never going to be any hope for you in the real world anyway 😂
I’m still haunted by that damn board going “oh!” when I stepped on it.
my cousin took it personally too, little 6 year old me couldn't care less tho lmao i loved the wii 😂
Suggestion to play Ring Fit! Not only is it better it is actually SUPER fun. Also if you crank the difficulty it will kick your ass
Yeah, it's awesome
I second this. It would be super interesting to see him do a video on Ring Fit ^^
Honestly it seems damn amazing but it probably doesn't work with Switch Lite :(
@@cantin8697 oh, does he have a lite? That's a bummer
@@zest761 Nah was talking more about the game rather than him playing it, I don't have a clue about this youtuber this video was just randomly recommended
7:00 I learned relatively recently that its normal to gain weight after starting a new exercise regimen, since that new activity causes greater water retention in the muscles or something, swelling up your body mass. So for anyone out there experiencing that, do not be discouraged, your progress with the scales is just a tad obscured as you start off!
If your diet keeps you at maintenance calorie intake but you build muscle mass, you will gain weight. The only way to lose weight is to create a calorie deficit. So for some people they might gain weight, but that's still good for them actually, since they are becoming healthier, they're building muscle, making it easier to function.
Body weight can be unreliable as a metric of health, but if you want to bring it down, it's much harder to create a caloric deficit on exercise alone. Reducing calorie intake and combining it with some exercise is much more manageable, but the majority of your deficit usually comes from reducing calorie intake.
But if you don't change your diet at all, it will take a long time, but adding some sort of cardio work out will create a deficit over a large amount of time. Walking for 30 minutes every day for a year will likely have the same outcome as a two week long crash diet, but will make you far less miserable and has cardiovascular health benefits ie. keeps your heart healthy.
this is why I always preach measuring yourself instead of weighing! the circumference of your waist, hips, etc. gives you a much more accurate representation of changes in your body
Thank you. I spent years working out vigorously, and for fun I checked my Wii Fit again after that. It said I was OVERWEIGHT when I was usually in the normal range.
I appreciate you feeling comfortable enough to show your body on camera, it's really hard to do that. Also losing 80 lbs is really awesome, I hope you're able to lose more (game aside)
Man when I was 14, I lost 14lbs in 3 months on the wiifit by just doing hula hooping for 10 mins and free step for 30 mins every other day.
You just have to ignore the weights and the age and stuff. That increased my body issues when I was a kid.
It's good for starting out or if you don't have a lot of mobility, otherwise you are better off working out around the house, your local area, or the gym.
Yeah and even in general a lot of ppl dont take in account water weight and stuff like that. When i first started exercising i was shocked by how much my weight would vary not knowing it was water weight and other stuff. Not really wii fit related but i noticed this dude saying “i lost 5 pounds in one day???” And yk
Ok but also, being 14 your metabolism was probably faster. Idk if the same routine would work the same way today. Not trying to be mean or anything but tbh wii fit is just not that good of a workout
@@chipsjalapeno_ You just have to take it all with a pinch of salt. The workout I did made sense because it is cardio and a bit of core training. Would the same workout have the exact same effect on me today? Probably not, I am older and my lifestyle is way different. But I would definitely get something out of it.
I don't know if you ever played a game called Dr Kawashima's Brain Training. It was similar to WiiFit but with your brain instead of body.
Studies done on this game have shown that it had little to no effect on "improving" the brain especially in young people, however, it showed some positive effects in elderly people (and I would assume anybody who doesn't do any other brain activities).
Taking that into account, I conclude that wiifit is not necessarily for young, active people who have access to other, more effective exercise options. It may be that it is beneficial to people with less mobility or can not leave the house for whatever reason. Even just a fun way to start getting into fitness.
I didn't mean for my reply to be so long, I just get excited to talk about these things lol.
TLDR: WiiFit could be a good exercise for some people. But people who are able to do more effecient exercises, probably should do those instead.
You did not lose 14 pounds in 3 months from 40 mins of exercise every other day. You likely combined this with subconsciously eating less calories to be more healthy. Weight is a calorie in calorie out equation and the amount burned from this amount of exercise is negligible.
I will defend the running game w my life. The thrill of it when I was a kid was that the sound would play on the wii remote itself so you can switch the HDMI input to TV and watch TV while “running” it was basically the 2008 version of those walking pads for standing desks
also please try the meditation candle game it’s a certified banger
Yessss the candle game
I did the same! The minute I realized the remote would tell me when I was done I'd switch over to an episode of trigun
When I was a kid I was obsessed with the cycling game because I loved exploring the island lol
me too! I especially loved that you could get dogs or cats to follow you along as well
@@fabpotatokit Yesss!! I would always go look for my pet dog and get him to follow my bike before I went exploring :D
Im only 18 and this game was my childhood. Im very distressed that this game is retro 😭😭
It's 26 days older than me. It came out the same month I was born. That's distress
THAT CANDLE GAME! That was the bane of my existence! I always failed so quickly at it and I was SITTING STILL!!!
i always got nervous by the sounds lmao, even my little brother could do it better than me
I actually love my grandma so much bc she let me play Wii fit but when it asked me to input calories or play some calorie mode idk I was like whats a calorie and she made it out to be some boring thing that I shouldn't look up so I didnt have to have my mind poisoned at a young age :>
That's actually so sweet of her 😭❤
Queen
she's right too, you literally burn calories by just existing.
Yesss I have a masters in nutrition and food science and unless you plan meals for schools or restaurants, or go to a doctor/nutritionist/dietitian no one needs to know or track their calorie intake in everyday life. Quality of food rather than just calorie counting is essential.
When I was a kid I tried putting our vacuum cleaner on the balance board for the candle game because we weighed about the same and it didn’t even win. Idk how it’s possible
Idk why I envisioned that it was switched on
One time i put this huge barrel and cat litter on the balance board with the aame game and it actually worked PERFECTLY. but i could never recreate it. I tried like three or four times with the same items and even heavier ones but still to no avail
I'd do it and lose in like 15 seconds. But then my sister would do it and.. I'm pretty sure she beat the candle game!!! Which I didn't know was possible!
Haunted hoover,clearly
As someone whos Dyslexic, I 100% understand how hard your roommate was struggling with the directional weight shifting
WAIT THATS A DYSLEXIC THING? damn that's crazy I'm diagnosed but I thought I was just bad at stuff like that
I played this a lot as a kid. I really liked Wii Fit Trainer because she was always so gentle and supportive while teaching yoga moves. Her voice was also so relaxing. My favorite game though was probably Step Up.
The way that squeaky voice says “that’s obese” is so savage without trying 😂
I think that Wii fit is probably the best game for seniors. Balance is one of the first things you loose as you age.
Also: have you tried Ring Fit for the Switch yet? It might be a bit more challenging in terms of cardio.
For me it was pretty much the same, I was around 160kg during the covid pandemic, then I lost around 65kg and now gained back around 10kg. I'm trying to go to the gym regularly to go to around 85-90kgs.
Nice work brother 👍
You can do it!!!
To avoid getting tired of it I would advise you to train 2 times a week with great intensity, like monday and friday or so, and really pay attention to what you eat that is the most important part
Same here actually. Tho in my case I was just below 90kg in 2019 and got to 58kg by the start of 2021. Currently I'm between 72-78kg and I'm pushing for 85 and trying to gym
The balance board insults everyone, dont listen to it
When my dad had his first stroke (applied alert the second one got him) we got the Wii fit to help him get his balance and coordination back. He genuinely enjoyed it! I had so much fun
i’m fully convinced that playing this after school everyday as a kid contributed to my ED
I can see that doing the jogging and biking games would be boring to me as an adult but man. When I was a kid I wanted to live on Wii Fit Island! The little cottages were so cute. Also whenever I did the flying game, I would always try to fly really far away to other parts of the island I wanted to explore, but always ran out of time T-T
Also, Wii Fit is so frutiger aero.
KEELVIN IS GOING TO BE RIPPED 🐐 ❤
💪💪💪💪🐐
Strong 💪 Man
Oh man, this game both fueled my eating disorder tendencies as a teen AND also gave me a feeling of control over my own weight and exercise in a way that didn't feel as shameful or humiliating as every other type of "real sport" felt. It was even fun half the time! A chance to secretly explore the idea of exercise in a cute, game-ified way that didn't feel scary. It was also the only scale i had private access to so learning it was probably inaccurate feels very weird. I almost want to pull it back out now for the nostalgia 🤔
The fact you could not play the game without weighing yourself was so bad for my eating disorder
I would say that most scales you move around constantly will be inaccurate.
It's not inaccurate. his board is inaccurate because he's using it on a carpet. It needs to be used on a flat floor! Other people in the comments have also pointed this out! I have two Wii boards and they are both pretty darn accurate when used properly on a flat floor!
@Sc0pee why are you telling me this in a comment where I'm reflecting on my difficult relationship with weight and exercise which got enabled by this device, months after it was posted? I had just forgotten about it :/ Now I'll be thinking about it again for the next few weeks
@@throughcolouredglasses9300 If it helps, you can turn off notifications for this comment chain💚
I would like to point out about the weight going up on the 3rd day too; it's normal for your weight to fluctuate throughout the week! Don't stress about small weight changes like that, it happens :)
I think that general body fatigue may have caused the fluctuation in ur “Wii fit age.” Working out on a daily basis with no rest in between can wear ur body down even if you can’t feel it. That might be why the balance-
Is so messed up. The supporting muscles in your legs most likely just wore down a little. It’s no reason to get discouraged and Wii fit does seem viable for people with low mobility but ring fit has better results from what I’ve seen
This game was partially responsible for me developing a disorder in my preteens LOL
What ya mean?
I did my first dissertation on "if WiiFit would help combat the freshers fat for uni students" and the findings were inclonclusive. Basically, not really, but better than sitting around drinking and eating. It was fun to do the research.
Weight yourself everyday is not good for assessing if you are losing weight it fluctuates throughout the day up to 10 pounds sometimes even more a day and checking daily drains your mental health and can cause you to be discouraged it’s not even your actual weight to get how Much you weigh you need to Weigh yourself weekly at the same time then take the average of those weight to really figure out how much you weigh
It's wild how a fitness game is a childhood game for many of us, myself included.
This was one of my favorites as a hyperactive little child
Out of uni I was approaching 200lbs so I did wii fit every day for like a year and ended up losing 40lbs. Calorie deficit, eating better, consistent work outs do help. Depends on if your body handles cardio or strength training better. I have hypothyroidism so cardio doesn't do anything for me and it takes me 2hrs instead of 1 to enter fat burn. So step ups, running in place, biking with music was a God send. In conclusion it gets you moving and that's a great thing.
THE BAKER 🔥🔥🗣💯‼️⁉️🔥🗣📢🔛🔝‼️‼️💯🔥🔥
Also, great video, one of the best on this channel ngl.
Hehehe I was 10 when Wii fit labeled me as overweight. Now as an adult I confirm that none of the words from the balance board was healthy.
Man imagine they made it today with the "that's obese :D" line. Twitter would EXPLODE. Who thought that was ever a good idea?!
Man that 99.99 bmi from a video game messed me up emotionally as a 9 year old
Really good to see you taking care of yourself
For some reason I just had so much fun with Wii Fit Plus and Wii Fit U, I genuinely loved playing it, the music and aesthetic just entranced me. I especially loved the juggling game. I was a strange kid.
I’m in my twenties but I have chronic illnesses and Wii fit is low impact enough that I can keep my body moving without over exerting myself ! It’s helped me a lot :)
Ill never forget my parents making me to the jogging game 5 times a day every day to the point i knew every turn snd i think i knew eberything on the track in total
thank scott cramer for the pulicity because i wouldn't have found this great channel without him
i used to play this as a kid, and i was constantly getting underweight as my bmi, and i was so obsessed with trying to gain weight that it was getting unhealthy. my parents had to make me stop playing it 😭😭
Yea I called me underweight and I tried to go more underweight until my parents sold it 😢
@@Circus_baby_1 :(
It’s so cool seeing your progress, like somehow even your face looks fitter by the end of the video- I remember loving this game and going on the runs back as a kid, and got it again just for fun! Thanks for motivating us all!
I've been playing recently and all I can say is that the best section of the game is the "tone the body" one. At least is helping me with my arms since I can't do anything outside :D
Congrats on the gains, bro. Keep us posted! 💪🏻
I'm close to 280 lbs and want to get to 210. Seeing you go from 300 to 208 is an inspiration.
I'm giving intermittent fasting a try. I'm going 14 to 16 hrs a day with no eating it's harder than I thought.
You got this!!!
We believe in you
I'm the exact same! I'd love to hear how the fasting works out for you
Check out Abbey Sharp (dietician) video on intermittent fasting! She explains the benefits vs. risks of it. If intermittent fasting doesn’t work well for you, you can try other ways to lose weight :)
while watching, i did notice that the board was not facing the right way. the power button light should not be facing the tv, it should be facing your feet.
Yeah i didn’t remember which way it went but that was only for the first day
Usually I don’t comment on videos but I loved your hard work and ambition sticking to your diet and daily sport. Please continue but this time with JUST DANCE !
My 12 year old sister actually injured herself doing the Jack-knife exercise. The petite trainer became her standard despite being built stockier so she was constantly wondering why she didn’t look like her after beating her in all the challenges.
I feel sorry for your sister. I wish parents and school would have educated and sound conversations around weight, fitness, and health.
@@PuffyRainbowCloud they did. It’s just something she gotta learn for herself
i remember having this game as a kid. it called me and all my siblings severely underweight because we were skinny kids, and my dad obese because he had muscle, making him heavier
My entire childhood was Wiifit. I love it more than anything. This brings back so many cherished memories.
This brings back the memories of getting on Wii-fit plus then Wii u fit Honestly best games I’ve ever played especially Wii U the waiter minigame and the water hose one (along with the chicken minigame from plus)
Chicken mini game was my favorite video game ever as a kid
Keep grinding bro
Fell off
My mom made me dig out the family's old wii so that she could "play to get in shape again"
it's really hard to say there are better things to do after sixteen years but... eh.
Y'all unplugged your Wii? Mines been plugged into the TV since the day we got it and it's stayed there 😭
I have friends parents who also never put theirs away LOL
@@benamisai-kham5892MY FAMILY HAS KEPT OURS OUT TOO!!! It’s just part of the family now we love it 🥹🤣🤣
Save to get her a VR for xmas, theres a ton of exersize games. Itll blow her mind!
@@HadrianGuardiola I think she's got one and doesn't like it. If she did like it, I'd worry about her breaking everything while playing beat saber
@@Crocogator oh dang! Maybe she gets motion sickness. And yea beat saber needs to be played woth kids and pets locked out of the room just in case LMAO
Dude, this video was awesome. Thank you for this!
Very good storytelling and editing! :D
since I'm only 1 year younger than you I think we had really similar experiences playing wii fit as a kid!! I always just played it for fun because the games are addicting and I'm the type who gets motivated by numbers (not in terms of weight, but reps in exercise for instance). I also played on a carpet but i didnt care lol. Also that meditation game is no joke! My mom took a lot of classes in meditation and she did the hardest difficulty on her first try no sweat, but I was straining to be totally still. That's a cool one imo. I'm glad you got something out of revisiting it :)
Hey man! Very proud of you for this
I wanna let you know what weight fluctuations is absolutely normal, and can change based on how much water you're retaining, bowel movements, and how much you've eaten. Muscle also weighs more than fat, so if you're doing strength exercises that could make the numbers go up, but that's not a bad thing in this case!
I've seen most people recommend weighing yourself on a weekly basis to not get discouraged with daily fluctuations.
Best of luck to you, I found your content the other day and I'm really enjoying it. Keep up the good work!
The candle game was my FAV as a kid. I sat for sooo long to get that shit right
i was obsessed with the running minigame as a kid for some reason. i loved collecting the dogs lol
I remember my old wii fit! It was a christmas gift, but I'd had an accident on christmas eve which meant my legs were immobilised for six weeks. I got super, super good at the meditation minigame 😅
this is the funniest most entertaining youtube video i’ve ever seen the nostalgia and crapping on the vintage board was great
congratulations, keep it up man!
my brother and i loved to play wii fit + . However we never played it as it was intended. We shook the controllers for jogging. For biking one of us was on the board while the other steered the bike. For the difficult Zen/Posture Game we stacked some heavy books on the board and got the record easily
Hah 😂
The ring fit for the switch was pretty good ngl. I liked playing it as a game, but the planks r the same as this game where i can never do them right and it pisses me off
The Wii was the only console I had growing up and this unlocked so many memories. I played Wii sports and Wii sport resorts all the time
Honestly, the running part of the game was my favorite. XD
Congrats on the weight loss mate! And just to let you know, weighing on carpet messes with any scale, including wii fit!
For the boxing game, the way you get the most points is at the end in the ‘freestyle’ section. Just wave your remotes around as fast as possible to wack the machine, don’t even bother trying to do it with the patterns they show in the game.
17:00 I saw at 22:07 that you don’t have the feet extender pieces that the balance board came with, which is meant to be used on carpets. That may be part of why it’s inaccurate. It’s meant to be used on hard flooring without those extra feet pieces
im jealous of you right now for still having your wii and balance board
Taking wii fit into an actual gym would be funny
Here from Scott Cramer!
the montage is just hilarious great video
This is amazing. Had me laughing the entire time! Thank you for doing this! 😂
you know its a good wii video when theres Poofesure in it
As somone who has played this game on and off for a decade, the balance board being on a carpet really made your experience worse than it actually is, I've never had it be wildy off my real weight even in 2023. It also seems like you weren't doing some of the exercises to the fullest extent, or you werent even doing some of them properly. And honestly if you mostly ignore the balance games you can loose a good amount of weight, and I mostly use it by itself because I can't go to a gym.
Oh wow, I remember when this channel had 5.7k subscribers, good job man!
This is the first video from u I’ve ever seen and I’ll go ahead and subscribe bc this is quality content
Btw, Noticing that you put the balance board on Carpet, this will influence the results even though its a thin carpet. This is most likely part of the reason WII Sports gave you such inaccurate results (while the technology and measurements techniques itself are also part of the reason)
When I was a kid, I used to put two books on the balance board for the flame game and still managed to lose
this video was so fab, great job!
I used your video for my paper in English about are video games sports and the video really helped with my rebuttal so thanks!! But this video is so interesting and more people need to see it.
my video game cardio of choice as a kid was Dance dance revolution, i'd play for fucking hours cuz it was fun and music was all bangers. so i missed the collective wiifit body dysmorphia trauma era but definitely remember going to friends houses and them having the game
I would suggest playing vr for weight loss! Beatsaber is such a fun game and then there are other games like boxing that actually make you sweat a lot. My dad has lost so much weight playing just vr and dieting.
You're right! I am crying.
We used to use the scale function for weighing suitcases when traveling 😂
Poofesure being in this vid makes me so happy
First time ever seeing the channel, big congrats on losing all that wight man. I maxed out at 270 when I was around 15; lost it all and been maintaining around 165-ish for about 10 years. I lost most of it through skateboarding.
looking great man! keep it up!
This was so entertaining, loved it 😂🎉
damn, 22 pounds is crazy
good on you man, give arnold a run for his money 💪
The poofesure clip.. God i love that man lmao
I think the importance of the game is it makes losing weight and getting fit fun. I always loved the biking game and the hiking one.
love the poofesure reference, he's been one of my favorite youtubers lately
I feel old, also thank you Wii Fit for making my body journey as a child more fun (and traumatizing)
Was Wii Fit just a universal experience for slightly overweight kids of middle class parents?
I grabbed a Wii and a balance board a couple of years ago to help rehab after lower leg injures. I'm happy to report it helped a lot! Who cares if it's 'retro' or not, as long as there is benefit.
10/10 video idea. Good looks dude
