Amazon.com:
The active-play phenomenon started by Wii Sports now spreads to your whole body thanks to Wii Fit and the pressure-sensitive Wii Balance Board, which comes bundled with it. Used together players will experience an extensive array of fun, dynamic and surprisingly challenging activities, including aerobics, yoga, muscle stretches and balance oriented games. The focus of these activities is towards providing a "core" workout, a popular exercise method that emphasizes slower, controlled motions, but it's the fun approach to fitness of Wii Fit that will keep players hooked on fitness for years to come.

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:

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:

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:

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.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fun for any fitness level
This is so much fun! Everyone that's tried it loves it. It's amazing how in some of the activities you look like you're hardly moving but you can really feel the workout. I love the personalization, and no, I can't do pushups yet...skip that part....:-). But that's okay. There's plenty more to do.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - love the wii fit
my kids are loving it!
no problem with this retailer---fast delivery and products works great




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great for all ages. Fun, good exercize.
My teenaged granddaughters and I play this together. They are doing it more diligently than I, and the games are a lot of fun, to do AND to watch. Great for balance. Very, very enjoyable.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A physical fitness triumph
I am a couch potato but I've been thinking of getting in shape, since I'm 53 I know that waiting only increases my chances of having major health issues of a cardio-vascular type. I've been using the Wii fit for about one month and I feel better overall than when I began using it. The exercises are challenging enough to really make a difference in your fitness. I've read reviews by gamers who dislike this device because it isn't as fun as they'd like. Gamers should realize this is a physical fitness aid, like having your own personal trainer at your beck and call 24/7 and is not a game other than the balance area of the package which I think is fun. If you'd like to get in shape I highly recommend this product. It is great!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Start BMI=45, 28 days later, BMI=40. Yeah it's obese, but less than before.
OK so the Wii Fit has a weight limit of 330 lbs. When I first got it, I couldn't use it because I weighed in at slightly more than 330. I have R/A, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue syndrome. I'm a mess. I have been steadily gaining weight in spite of a fairly regimented diet and feeling like there was no way out, along came the Wii Fit. I can't handle ANY kind of impact exercise so I thought maybe this would work for me, and my goodness it does.

The exercises are not easy - well a few are - but for someone as stiff and fat as I am, they are all a challenge. I started with just 10 minutes a day and now I am up to 35 minutes. I have lost 10 lbs in 28 days (and for me, that's great! I don't lose weight easily.) I know I am building muscle and even more important, flexibility. I am careful with my joints and if they show signs of extraordinary irritation, I change the program to accommodate it.

I don't expect to lose tons of weight fast, nor do I want to (well, I'd LOVE to, but I also know I would gain it back even faster if I lost it too quickly.) Once I got my weight down to the 330 limit I started working and now I am below 320. I have less than 100 lbs to go now (I'm a big guy to begin with.)

So, even if you have arthritis like I do, or some other medical condition that otherwise might prevent you from "Gym type" exercises, the Wii Fit might be for you! (Probably should consult your physician first to be sure.) Just DO IT!
