Start slow by walking and then running in small intervals.
I never run in a gym, on a treadmill, or on trails. I live in a mid-sized city as well all my running is outside.

For exercising my legs, I go walking and swimming. It's exercising my arms that I'm primarily interested in here. Any leg movement should be of the slow and steady variety instead of jumping around.

Get some small hand weights and use then a few times a week. High reps, low weight. Just simple curls, shoulder presses, etc.
It doesn't take much at all. A little goes a long way. If you do equal party cardio, weights, and good eating habits, you will see results results quickly.
Edit: My point is that if you are looking at the Wii for the "fitness" aspect only, I'd probably pass. You are better off getting your exercise elsewhere. Plus, a common complaint I've heard from people I know that have a Wii is that "uniqueness" the wears off rather soon. And once that happens, it doesn't have the strong library of titles like the other consoles do.
