Wii Fit is designed to be enjoyed by the whole family. In Japan it has been encouraging family members as a whole to discuss the topic of fitness and take an active interest in understanding their own fitness in a fun and entertaining way, all in the comfort of their own home.

Wii Balance Board
Wii Fit comes bundled with the Wii Balance Board, an accessory developed exclusively for the Wii console that will have a far-reaching impact for all who use it. It’s innovative, exciting and most of all fun and simple for all to use. It is a pressure sensitive, wireless balance board that goes on the floor – so someone can stand on it in front of the TV. It senses weight and shift in balance in any direction and therefore by standing on the Wii Balance Board during activities allows players to follow along to movements ensuring they have full control of the on-screen activities. This allows personal improvement goals to be set to effectively help you and your family to train and stay fit.

Wii Fit Channel
Increasing your awareness of the importance that fitness has on everyday life and keeping yourself and family motivated should be easier with Wii Fit. The programme allows up to 8 people to track progress and monitor performance. Once you insert the Wii Fit Disc into a Wii console, a new channel - Wii Fit Channel can be added to your Wii Menu system. Once the Wii Fit Channel is added it enables users to not have to insert the Wii Fit Disc into a Wii console in order for the Wii Balance Board to scale your weight to calculate your BMI, measure the center of your bodily balance and conduct a balance test in order to calculate your Wii Fit Age. It also allows you to monitor how long you did which category of exercise for in one day, all in the comfort of your own home and without the need to keep inserting the Wii Fit Disk into your Wii console each time.

Training Categories
There are 4 training categories including Aerobic Exercises, Muscle Workouts, Yoga and Balance Games that will help you and your family to develop bodily balance control ability, burn fat in the body, help tone and condition muscles, as well as help increase aerobic stamina. Discover over 40 different activities within these training categories such as Hula Hoop™, Ski Jump, Press-up Challenge, Rhythm Boxing, Rowing Squat, Lunge and classic Yoga poses such as Half Moon, Tree and Crocodile Twist. With all this on offer and much more, Wii Fit along with the Wii Balance Board introduces an accessible and intuitive programme for all the family to enjoy.

Through Wii Fit's training programme, helpful tutorials and encouragements from your on-screen fitness trainer, who will change his or her verbal instructions depending on how you actually perform, and the included Wii Fit Channel, you will continue to have endless fun whilst having the satisfaction of knowing you are aiding yourself, and your family, on towards a path of a healthier lifestyle.

this is easy enough to use (had to get my husband to set it up/connect etc, but thats just because i'm a bit technical phobic)
Aerobic games are a bit limited though good.

I have been wanting to get one of these for the family since they came out. Now I have it I wish I had got the Wii Fit package ages ago.
Easy to set up and use and very good value for money from CPW.
I you are like me and spare little time to go out and exercise then the Wii fit pack is a great alternative, you don't worry about looking like a berk in your local gym and you avoid paying the £40+ a month subscription to the gym that you only visit once in a blue moon.
Whilst any neighbour seeing you prance about in front of your TV may question your sanity it's a great way of increasing your level of fitness in the comfort of your own home.

Excellant purchase

I've wanted one of my own for ages after giving it a go at my mother-in-laws. I really enjoyed the hula hoop activity and definately felt the effects of the yoga the next day. I'm looking forward to purchasing more excercise games.

When I bought this it was partly for me & partly for the grandchildren. We've all used it & although I wasn't very happy that my Wii Fit age was 70 at the start (I'm 64), it certainly made me work on my balance! I love this new 'toy'! The picture is of my autistic grandson, Jamie. He loves it too!
