  • Summary: The active-play phenomenon started by Wii Sports now spreads to your whole body thanks to the pressure-sensitive Wii Balance Board (name not final), which comes packed with Wii Fit. The board is used for an extensive array of fun and dynamic activities, including aerobics, yoga, muscle stretches and games. Many of these activities focus towards providing a "core" workout, a popular exercise method that emphasizes slower, controlled motions. Family members will have fun staying active and talking about and comparing their results and progress on a new channel on the Wii Menu. [Nintendo]… Expand

    An excellent combination of honest training and highly entertaining partygames. Losing weight has never been this much fun. [May 2008]

    Assuming you can afford it, Wii Fit is a great way to stay in shape. The Balance Board is top-notch technology and as a package the whole thing works tremendously well. [May 2008, p.66]

    Kids that stay all day long playing video games should try having some fun and doing some exercise at the same time. My sixteen-year old son, who is overweight and never works out, is now having a great time with Wii Fit. And the activities that make him really move his body, like stepping and running , are his favorite ones. This may not be the “real thing”, but it´s a fun way to get out of the couch.… Expand

    No doubt this is fun and I enjoy doing all the different activities. However, it takes too long! You must have a good chunk of time to devote to "exercise" because a lot of time is spent watching your score being posted, seeing how many "credits" you earn, deciding whether you want to repeat the exercise or move on. So your "rest time" is probably longer than the actual workout time. But many of the challenges are pretty challenging and I have had sore muscles the next day trying to outdo my kids on certain activities. Or even to prove to the silly "trainer" that I can do a sit up, I just can't figure out how the Wii wants me to do it! So I wouldn't say it's for the already fit, I would say it's more for the person who is a couch potato or is just looking for something to do in addition to a regular workout routine and who doesn't belong to the gym.… Expand
