Nintendo Wii Fit Plus including Balance Board Wii Fit Accessory Kit (Suitable for ages 3+)

Buy Now! Nintendo Wii Fit gives you a different concept of exercise. Go through variety of levels with the incorporation of a balance board peripheral that will notify you on how good or not you’re doing through its wide array of activities. Also, Nintendo is greatly marketing this cutting-edge title as a fusion of fitness and fun. It’s a great replacement for those bored with the redundancy of visiting a gym or those who are too shy to participate in a yoga or aerobics class. Although the Wii Fit is restricted by few odd omissions like not being able to make your own program from the choice exercises and some disputable health advices thus confining its effectiveness both as a fitness tool and as a game.

The showcase of the Wii Fit experience is the balance board, a fancy-looking yet very sturdy gadget which features many internal scales that will tell you changes in weight and pressure as you stand on it. The balance board which weighs around 8.8 lbs (4kgs) wirelessly connects with the Wii, and needs four AA batteries to function. The board includes four rubber feet to help restrain it from slipping on smooth surfaces. Same as the Wii Remote, the balance board can be habitual to use as soon as you get used to an exercise or game in Wii Fit. Its utmost sensitivity allows it to pick up even the slightest shifts in weight. However, its sensitivity goes so far only up to the board’s maximum weight capability of 330lbs (150 kg).

As a title mainly centers on health, Wii Fit does a few fairly significant reviews about its users’ fitness. This would happen as soon as your your Wii is first registered with the game; after keying in your date of birth and height, you will be instructed to step on the balance board for a weigh-in with the help of a guided onscreen cartoon. Based on the height and weight data, the user’s BMI is computed, with the user being labeled as underweight, ideal, or overweight based on the BMI score. Afterwards, a basic balance test would begin before your Wii Fit Age is shown on the screen. Only one Wii Fit Age result can be recorded daily, though you can practice the various balance tests as much as you want to.

The exercises are divided into four different categories: yoga, muscle, aerobic, and balance. The yoga and muscle categories can almost be compared to traditional exercises, including 15 yoga poses and 15 muscle-toning moves to for your workout. Yoga poses vary from simple, like standing still and breathing, to the quite challenging shoulder stand. Its the same with the muscle-toning section, which includes simple lunges combined with much demanding activities like parallel stretch and push-ups. You can also have your choice of virtual trainers to instruct you through the yoga and muscle exercises, usually giving praises or criticism based on your performance.

The aerobic and balance activities embodies the fun side of Wii Fit having 18 games to select from. The aerobic game includes hula hoops, boxing, step dancing, jogging, and more. The balance exercises are what most beginners first try out, which include ski jump, ski slalom, snowboarding, a table tilt game where you have to use your shifting weight in a Mercury Meltdown-style challenge, and more.

All in all, the Nintendo Wii Fit give you hours and hours of fun activities to keep you active and fit!
