Just wanted to start a topic about things everybody doesn't like about Wii Fit. It could be anything, post it here so we can all complain together!

A few from me:

1. I hate when the game chooses arbitrarily to replace my female trainer with a male trainer just for the day. I hate it since I want the female trainer because she motivates me more. I reset the game and start all over and it gives her back.

2. I hate that some of the exercises go so fast. Like with single leg extension and some others, I burn more calories when I do them slower and steadier. It'll also tone things up more. Crunches and pushups are a few other examples. There is no option to slow it down for a few so I can get proper form, get toned the way I want AND still keep pace.

3. When the talking clock (you know the meter guy whatever he's called) says, "You've gained weight, what do you think the reasons are for this weight loss?" Then he makes you choose reasons like you're being scolded like a child. Well you yourself said weight fluctuates about 2 pounds per day and I gained less than two pounds so what's the big whoop?

4. When you do the form properly, but the board registers you aren't staying inside the yellow area even though you really are. This usually happens to me only on single leg balance on the left leg. It always has me to the left of the yellow section. Any other one like single leg twist, extension, etc I am usually ok. Maybe my board is getting wack, I have owned Wii Fit for over 558 days.

5. I have a hard time telling if I'm doing proper form on some yoga and strength training poses, like Bridge (because I can't see the TV), Triangle, Jackknife and a few others. I'd prefer the game to have a slowly spinning image so I can tell exactly where my hands are supposed to go and if I can bend my knees sometimes instead of them staying locked straight.

6. On the obstacle course where you run and get hit by the swinging balls, I keep getting right to the very end on easy next to the last two balls. The balls go past and I start my short dash toward the goal, but the board doesn't recognize my feet going so fast, even though they did for the last 400 yards of the freaking course. And I get knocked off and have to start way back and still "die" at the very very end four or five times and then time runs out. It really pisses me off.

That's all I can think of for now lol.

i choose my trainer and it has never changed i also dont like the accuracy of the board but i usually cheat to do to get a good score

That it's white. I wish it were a grey colour. Something to match the grey personal trainer. He's so humourless too... He could crack a joke once in a while....

I don't like that you can't set a program for aerobic games only, which are all I do on wii fit plus to lose weight. I also use EA Sports Active where you can set a programmable workout for your preferred exercises so you do exactly what you want to do each day. I do 30 mins of wii fit plus and 15 mins on EA Sports Active and I have lost 8 pounds in approx 42 days. I dont plan missing any days.

I don't like that aerobics cannot be added in the custom routine section. It would be a smoother transition if it did.

That's why we include aerobic exercises in our routines here

And thank goodness for that!

I don't like that the board has a weight limit. My hubby isn't able to join in with the family for awhile now.

my bf has been having problems with the pushup challenge registering him actually doing the pushups. I see him doing in right in time with the whistles and everything but i doesnt register. makes him super mad.

I don't like that my Wii Fit age is all over the place. It has ranged from 27 to 75 (I'm 67). This doesn't give me much to gauge my progress.
