I just received the Review Copy of Wii Fitness for Dummies and I am getting a great first impression of this book. A full review will be up and coming in the Feb 2010 RetroGamingRoundup Podcast.

I posted the first week of ongoing bonus content, here: http://www.armchairarcade.com/neo/node/3138 (Classic Body Weight Exercise You Can Perform When You're Away From Your Wii (Part 1 of 8))

It's too late to make the news segment for February but maybe SoCal will put it in his review.

Either way I'll add a link to the shownotes page.

No problem at all and not necessary. I appreciate the review, period. I realize it's not necessarily in your show's wheelhouse, so getting the book reviewed on it at all is a huge bonus. Thanks again, guys.

Just recording the review now so I will mention the addition of bonus content and where it can be found :)

Thanks, Mike! If it makes things easier, I have an official page at http://www.armchairarcade.com/wiifitnessfordummies that will link to all that content, plus all the reviews (yours may be the first one out of the gate).

Crazy... Even though I heard of the book and have seen a few of your videos;
I never made the connection that you (and your wife of course) wrote the book lol

I got a Wii and a Wii fit+ for Christmas;
but haven't had the time or room to hook it up yet;
as everything is slowly being cleaned up in the basement
so we can refurnish it and move all of my video game stuff down there.

I'll be sure to get a copy of the book to go along with the whole set-up.

I'm sure the book is as excellent as it sounds; and
I will be sure to recommend it to my all of my friends
whom have a Wii or are still thinking about getting one.

Major props to you and your wife for completing this book:E:

Thanks for the kind words, Troglodyte. I hope you get to use your setup soon. It's good that you got the Plus version, because there were definitely things that needed to be improved from the original Wii Fit.
