Better that Wii Fit but ........

Advantages: A great improvement on Wii Fit
Disadvantages: You need to be self motivated to stick with it

...I bought Wii Fit 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. I do like it but it has its shortcomings not least of which is the fact that it takes a long time to work through a routine so I was pleased when I heard that Nintendo were bringing out a new versions and I wanted to see what that offered. Wii Fit Plus is intended to overcome some of the shortcomings and to allow you to plan a whole routine rather than do it piecemeal and have to wait between exercises. I preordered mine via Amazon where you buy Wii Fit Plus for just £17.99 if you already have the Wii Balance Board or £79.99 with the Balance Board. As this is a full product review I will outline everything that it does which does include everything on the original Wii Fit so if you already have Wii...

Review of Wii Fit Plus (Wii)

The Wii Fit Plus is an excellent add on, and great fun!

Advantages: fun, good for you, multiplayer
Disadvantages: none really

...The wii fit has been keeping me happy for quite a while now, but eventually when you have played and tried all the games within it eventually it gets left in a box behind the sofa, for 72 days according to my wii fit. So when i saw the Wii Fit plus was for sale I pre ordered it straight away, it gives a much needed new enjoyable boost into the what was already great wii fit. There are many extra fun things to do whilst getting fit with the Wii Fit Plus in my opinion. One of the great things is that it transfers all of your data from the wii fit easily and quickly in one click. You can now weigh your babies and pets on this. There are three new yoga moves - Spine extension, gate and grounded V. Three new Muscle workouts - Balance bridge, Side lunge and Single leg reach. However there are two new sections which I find great these are...

Review of Wii Fit Plus (Wii)

  Wii Fit

Advantages: great for weightloss, fun for all the family, improves posture, balance and health
Disadvantages: expensive, can only register up to 8 family members

...Our Wii Fit was brought as a birthday present for my 9 year old brother, although to be honest it was probably more of a gift to us!! What is a 'Wii Fit'? Before explaining what a Wii Fit is, I will explain the equipment you will need for it. The Wii Fit works on a Nintendo Wii - the Wii is a games console, which uses a handheld remote for interactive play (simulating tennis etc). In addition to the games console you will need a Wii Fit balance board. This can be used with other games such as skiing etc but will initially be purchased with the Wii Fit software. The Wii fit balance board is a rectangular board, which the user stands on, and it links up wirelessly to the Wii and is used to improve health through balance games, muscle and yoga poses and aerobic exercise games. The Wii fit balance board measures and monitors...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Wii Fit

Advantages: The Balance Board technology is outstanding
Disadvantages: It can be quite expensive

...know that makes playing Wii Fit more fun and enjoyable, but really. It would take you hours of play to unlock some games on there. I would at least like it to already be unlocked so we can try it out... Did I mention there will be a Wii Fit Plus some time next year? Or this year maybe? Maybe Wii Fit can learn from its old mistakes and may Wii Fit Plus be even BETTER than its predecessor. I can't wait for Wii Fit Plus as much as you do. Advantages + Great variety of games! + Beats going to the gym. + Actually does make you fit. + Outstanding technology. Disatvantages - It is quite expensive. - Bored is quite too sensitive. - You have to unlock more games. RATING: *****...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Wii Fit

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

...Last Christmas, my mum (a.k.a. "Santa") got the family a Wii Fit - hinting at my sister and I that we need to keep fit. I'm going to admit, I'm a bit fat. Now, I'm not one of those people you see in documentaries who can't get out of bed because they're huge but I could stand to lose a stone or two. I used to go to the gym twice a week but I found it too difficult and it was straining keeping up with my trainer, and I felt embarassed whenever I told him I couldn't do something. I did lose about half a stone though so I was happy about that. When I started using the Wii fit I was a bit anxious about trying it out because it had been a while since I'd been to the gym and I wasn't too keen to let my family see how unfit I was! However, I've been using it on-and-off since Christmas and it's great! It's been about a month since I last used it...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Wii Fit

Advantages: Healthy, Loses weight, Fun
Disadvantages: None

...Nintendo Wii Fit (Wii Fit) I got Wii fit on Christmas day 2008 and ever since I have not got off it. I am a really big gamer and when I bought the Wii i thought it wasn't going to be good and it wasn't that good as the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3, but when I got Wii Fit for it I have been playing it one hour a day every day. I do all kinds of exercises on it. Including Jogging, Push up's, Step aerobics and many more. It really is a good way of excerising because it is fun and you don't even know that you are excerising! Whats in the box... In the Wii Fit box there is not too much, there is a Wii fit balance board, Wii fit Wii game, Four AA Batteries and Manuals. What games is there on the Wii Fit game... There is all sorts of games on the Wii Fit, there is boxing, jogging, Push ups, side ups, step aerobics and many more...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

wii fit

Advantages: weight loss or weight gain depending on what you choose to do. very fun games!
Disadvantages: its not entirely accurate, can strain yourself if you over do it.

...The Wii fits main aim was to motivate families to get up and exercise together, making it more enjoyable for children and adults. It was also to be seen as an insentive to exercise and stay healthy and help keep a steady BMI (body mass index). Wii fit is an amazing game in which you as a user can stand on the Wii balance board and interact with the game. The balance board is like a set of scales it can determin your weight and which is your most dominant foot. But its not just a set of scales it senses every movement you make so that the Wii can then calculate your Wii fit age and keep you interacted in whatever game you are playing. The Wii fit game comes with many games to play. You start of with a few activites to do but the more you progress on with game the more you unlock ,making exercise much more harder and making it a fun...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Wii Fit

Advantages: Helps you lose weight, tracks your progress
Disadvantages: You need quite a bit of space for the balance board

...As someone who has a bad back, and could also stand to lose a few pounds in weight, I finally gave in and bought the wii fit. Basically, all it consists of is a balance board and CD with the Wii Fit activities on it. Like the Nintendo Wii controllers it is completely wireless which is great for storage, when you finish you can just slot it under your bed or in a cupboard. To start off you create a character for yourself in the Wii Fit Plaza, which is based off your Mii. The main idea is to have a daily body test which charts your weight, bmi, wii fit age etc and then go on to do some training in the form of either balance, aerobic, muscle exercise or yoga. This is kind of embarrassing, especially for me when my mii suddenly got a lot fatter! After completing the body test you are given a wii fit age, which you aim to reduce by...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Wii Fit

Advantages: It aactually works!!!
Disadvantages: It's very addictive

...I think the Wii Fit is a must for any Wii owner, it actually works! I bought my Wii Fit around a month ago and I use it everyday for around 30 minutes. Its so much fun you honestly dont know where the time goes. The body tests provide an accurate reading of your weight or BMI and you can set yourself weight loss targets that are realistic. Since buying mine I've lost half a stone in a month and because its a gradual weight loss it stays off. The balance games are great fun while the other games provide quite a tough physical workout. If your looking to play the Wii Fit just for fun and aren't too woried about losing weight then its still great fun playing and compteing with others. If you have a Wii then you MUST get this!!!!!...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Wii Fit, Keeping You Fit

Advantages: Keeps you active, allows all members of the family to play together, fun!
Disadvantages: Nothing!

...Wii Fit. Bought for £69.99 from Game (on the highstreet) in September 2008. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I must first congratulate Nintendo for the development and production of the Wii Fit; it is the first of a kind in that it attempts to get even the most idle of gamers to start exercising, if only by small amounts each day. The very nature of Wii Fit means that any time spent playing it, is also exercise time. I must also state that this is not to be a substitute for regular exercise. You should see this as an additional way to keep fit, toned and healthy, as there are limits to what the Wii Fit can do, and it certainly cannot sustain an atheltic lifestyle by itself. The Wii Fit or Wii Balance Board is a unique creation by Nintendo. It is a flat board roughly 50cmx30cmx7cm, upon which you stand to...
