Disadvantages: expensive, can only register up to 8 family members

Our Wii Fit was brought as a birthday present for my 9 year old brother, although to be honest it was probably more of a gift to us!! What is a 'Wii Fit'? Before explaining what a Wii Fit is, I will explain the equipment you will need for it. The Wii Fit works on a Nintendo Wii - the Wii is a games console, which uses a handheld remote for interactive play (simulating tennis etc). In addition to the games console you will need a Wii Fit balance board. This can be used with other games such as skiing etc but will initially be purchased with the Wii Fit software. The Wii fit balance board is a rectangular board, which the user stands on, and it links up wirelessly to the Wii and is used to improve health through balance games, muscle and yoga poses and aerobic exercise games. The Wii fit balance board measures and monitors ...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Wii Fit

Advantages: The Balance Board technology is outstanding
Disadvantages: It can be quite expensive

doing Wii Fit, the Jack Knife killed me. But all in good time, I started getting used to the Muscle Workouts and slowly improved on doing them each step by step. Aerobics My favourite! If you want to lose weight, then you go here, and it does actually work. All of the games in Aerobics are meant to help yourself burn fat. But Aerobics and Balance Games are different from the Yoga and Muscle Workouts. They each have 9 games this time. With only 4 of them being unlocked when you first start. They include Hula Hoop, Step Basics, Jogging and 2P Jogging. Hula Hoop is a easy, fun little game where you have to swivel your hips as if you are spinning a Hula Hoop when trying to catch other Hula Hoops other people throw at you - earning more points. Then there is Step Basics, another easy but a bit dull game where you have to dance ...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Wii Fit

Advantages: Easy way to keep fit.
Disadvantages: Can't think of any.

Last Christmas, my mum (a.k.a. "Santa") got the family a Wii Fit - hinting at my sister and I that we need to keep fit. I'm going to admit, I'm a bit fat. Now, I'm not one of those people you see in documentaries who can't get out of bed because they're huge but I could stand to lose a stone or two. I used to go to the gym twice a week but I found it too difficult and it was straining keeping up with my trainer, and I felt embarassed whenever I told him I couldn't do something. I did lose about half a stone though so I was happy about that. When I started using the Wii fit I was a bit anxious about trying it out because it had been a while since I'd been to the gym and I wasn't too keen to let my family see how unfit I was! However, I've been using it on-and-off since Christmas and it's great! It's been about a month since I last used it ...
