Advantages: easy to use, great value for money, can be used during gameplay, USB connection Disadvantages: cannot be charged from the mains
to its popularity in my household we were getting through bucketloads of batteries for the Wii balance board. The board takes 4 AA batteries and whilst they were lasting reasonably well, the sheer amount of use that the board was getting meant that it was costing us a fortune.
Looking on amazon we found the MadCatzWiiFit Battery Pack. At a reduced price of £4 it seemed incredibly cheap and we half expected it to be useless. The battery pack is basically 4 rechargable batteries contained in a plastic case which allows easy charging without fiddling around with individual batteries.

Advantages: A great improvement on Wii Fit Disadvantages: You need to be self motivated to stick with it
I bought WiiFit last year and have now used it for over 400 hours so I guess you could say I have had my money's worth out of it.

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

Creating a Profile
It was back in December when I created my profile but I think it's just a case of selecting your Mii (a character you create in the Wii which can be used in other games, including Wii Sports) then letting it do a body test for the first time (you might be able to skip this - I'm not sure). Whatever it is you do, I know it's easy because both my gran and papa have created profiles themselves so it can't be too difficult.
Daily Tests
Every day when you go on, your encouraged to take a body test. This measures your weight and BMI and tells you your centre of gravity. Whats that? Your centre of gravity is ...
