the people at Exspect.Included in the bundle you will find: Silicon Cover, to make the experience softer on your feet Grip Socks to ensure your feet stay firmly on the board Carry Case for easy transportation of the Wii Balance Board
Advantages: A great improvement on Wii Fit Disadvantages: You need to be self motivated to stick with it
the feet patterns on the screen was something of a challenge. However I persevered and I now enjoy them. They are tricky of course if you have a cat sitting behind the balance board where you want to step off but that really enhances the variety of the routine. Rather interestingly I once picked up the cat to carry it whilst doing an exercise and WiiFit queried my sudden weight change!
Jogging
For this exercise you don't use the balance board at all but put your Wii remote in your pocket and jog on the spot to move along the track on the screen. If you don't have pockets you can just hold the Wii Remote to get the same effect but you don't need to be a genius to realise that you could get along the track by sitting in an armchair moving your hand up and down although the only person you would cheating would be yourself!

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Wii Fit (Wii)
Advantages: Good value for money, increased workout choices Disadvantages: Limited target settings
After using the original WiiFit game for about a year, I found the WiiFit Plus to be a big improvement, and good value at only £20. It automatically transfers all your saved data from the WiiFit so you don't have to start over.
I found the major improvement to be the facility to program a workout, rather than just being able to do individual exercises as before - it means a much better workout overall as you don't have to keep stopping and selecting exercises. You can either select a preset workout from the menu or customise your own using your favourite bits.
There are a number of new excercises present as well which I found great as I did start getting a bit bored with the limited selection on the original WiiFit.
