May I ask....Should I or do I NEED to "get used" to using this thing Before I try the wii fit? I wanted to just jump right in but not sure, I have no experience with this stuff.

I actually got it for mom to trick her into exercising a bit. ALL she does is tiny steps. (side effects of a med). It's taken me one month to get over the guilt of spending so much $$ on it & just yesterday set it up.
My Brains are not so good So go easy on the explaination
