The Wii Fit Balance Board
The primary tenet of Wii Fit is balance. Your center of balance, the point between your left and right sides when you stand upright, has a lot to do with your health. Those without an even center of balance will be unnaturally compensating for this imbalance, which causes their posture to become misaligned, increasing the possibility of putting unnecessary strain on their bodies. This is where the Wii Balance Board comes in.Similar in appearance to a step aerobics board, the Wii Balance Board is much, much more. Easily capable of supporting weights up to a maximum of 300 pounds, it is sturdy and precise, able to measure weight and register pressure accurately when placed on a variety of flat surfaces. This advanced level of sensitivity allows for both the wide range of activities found in the Wii Fit software as well as the board's amazing ability recognize individual players by their weight alone.Getting Started: Create a Profile
Before you jump into doing exercises and activities, you'll start by creating a profile. This is done easily and intuitively by simply choosing a Mii, entering your height and age information, and doing a few quick tests that will serve as a baseline for your new Wii fitness regimen. These tests are:- BMI Check: BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that is the standard used by agencies such as the World Health Organization and the National Institute of Health. To check your BMI, you'll enter your height then stand on the Wii Balance Board and let it read your weight.
- Wii Fit Age: After you've checked your BMI, you'll do a basic balance test and find out your current Wii Fit Age. This basic balance test measures how well you can control your left and right balance. Based on the results, you'll be assigned a Wii Fit Age.
Four Categories of Fun
Once you have created your profile it's time to have some fun. Wii Fit features four main categories of exercises to choose from: Strength Training, Aerobics, Yoga and Balance Games. Wii Fit will guide you through the first three with the help of your own virtual personal trainer, while the balance games offer variety and fun to help keep you engaged and excited about your fitness goals. In addition, as you spend time exercising, you'll earn Fit Credits that unlock additional exercises and activities within your favorite categories that will allow you to continue to push yourself. See more detail on the four categories below: - Strength Training: Put your strength to the test with muscle-toning exercises like Single Leg Extension, Sideways Leg Lift, Arm and Leg Lift, Single-Arm Stand, Torso Twists, Rowing Squat, Single Leg Twist, Lunge, Push-Up and Side Plank, Jackknife, Plank and Tricep Extension. Challenges include Push-Up Challenge, Plank Challenge and Jackknife Challenge.
- Aerobics: Get your heart pumping with fun, interactive Aerobic exercises like Hula Hoop, Basic Step, Basic Run, Super Hula Hoop, Advanced Step, 2-P Run, Rhythm Boxing, Free Step and Free Run.
- Yoga: Work on your balance and flexibility with Yoga poses and activities like Deep Breathing, Half-Moon, Dance, Cobra, Bridge, Spinal Twist, Shoulder Stand, Warrior, Tree, Sun Salutation, Standing Knee, Palm Tree, Chair, Triangle and Downward-Facing Dog.
- Balance Games: Get into the action with fun, balanced-based games like Soccer Heading, Ski Slalom, Ski Jump, Table Tilt, Tightrope Walk, Balance Bubble, Penguin Slide, Snowboard Slalom and Lotus Focus.
Keep Track of Your Progress
Because keeping fit is an ongoing process, Wii Fit also tracks the activities you do the most and puts them into your Favorites category. With this information players can note exercises and activities that they are strong in, as well as others that may need to improve at. Some of the ways players can use this information for are to: - Keep tabs on your daily progress with easy-to-understand graphs and charts. Using your personal profile, you can set goals, view a graph of your BMI results over time, see how many Fit Credits you've earned, check your Wii Fit Age and even enter exercise time you've done outside of Wii Fit. It's all about coming back and exercising a little every day, and the personal profile makes tracking your daily progress simple and easy.
- Quickly check your Wii Fit Age and BMI without even putting the game in the console by going directly to the Wii Fit Channel.
- Allow up to eight family members can create their own profiles in Wii Fit. On the profile-selection screen, everyone in the family can see each other's recent BMI progress and Fit Credit total. This will allow families to have a friendly competition to exercise and get fit.
Variety, fun and progress tracking; Wii Fit has it all. So, Wii owners if you ready to reclaim your balance and get fit all you need is Wii Fit, a few minutes a day to play and the urge to have fun. Get on board today.

 Great but not perfect July 6, 2008
Wii Fit is one of the best game from WII system. Although is a single player game but it's very entertaining in the party with friends and family.
The only drawback about the game is lack of customization. For instance, you have program your own training to match your specific needs.
Regardless, it's the best 90 dollar I've ever spent.
Wii Fit an almost perfect way to get back in shape. July 5, 2008
The Wii Fit is an excellent way to help you start to get back in shape. With the four catagories (Yoga, Strength, Balance and Arobic) to choose from you can keep a varied exercise program that will keep you coming back for more. My only complaint is that you can do a body test (gives you a Wii Fit age, your weight and your BMI), step off and do a second test and your weight can vary by (from my experience) 1 pound or more in either direction. But I have not missed a day in the 44 days I've owned mine. It has kept me interested in working out and caused me to begin using other exercise equipment to compliment their workout. It also keeps a history of your training, so you don't have to. I've found the Wii Fit to be an excellent investment.
great way to work out and not feel like youre playing a game July 5, 2008
wii fit is a lot of fun and can be a tough workout if you challenge yourself. i especially like that it says my weight is normal and my skinny husband who eats all day and never gains a pound needs to lose 16 pounds! the strength excersises and yoga are really good, the only improvement i would make is to be able to combine several excercises into a longer workout. i would recommend this game for someone who doesnt have a lot of time to go to the gym.
 Fun Workout July 5, 2008
The Wii Fit makes exercise fun. There are many different activities, which keep your attention. You can set weightloss goals, which is helpful. I lost about 3lbs in 2 weeks.
homeschool fitness in a box July 5, 2008
The wii fit is a perfect piece of equipment for a homeschool fitness program. You have a variety of activities and the emphasis is on fitness and balance typical of a school age fitness/gym program (or what it should be).
I have 5 kids ranging in age from 2 to 17, so finding activities is challenging. The 17 year old is not interested in "team sports" and the little ones can't do many of them. With the wii fit, EVERYONE finds challenging and interesting things to do. From the sporty and active 12 year old to the almost adult daughter. It is also a great tool for me to get exercise on a daily (or so) basis and even the two year old mimics the older ones doing sit ups or running in place, etc.
It gives you a trackable fitness level that you are encouraged to work at daily at a reasonable pace.
The game is encouraging and rewarding because you see progress.
One perk for the kids is that you do have some competition trying to get a higher ranking.
I would say the game encourages safe, endurance style activities.
There are activities that include a regular looking trainer as well as the cartoon/game style graphics and characters.
So far, everyone in the house prompts themselves to work out daily, if possible.
Although we haven't logged any outside activities, the game encourages you to do that.
I anticipate the wii fit to help me encourage my children to be aware of there health and fitness level no matter what there body shape and to help them to exercise on a regular basis, making it a part of there everyday routine.
