Fitness for the family

5

I initially purchased the Wii fit plus because I wanted to step up my fitness game a little bit. I had already owned the Wii fit original and heard good things about the new upgraded version. It turned out to be a really great move for me because there are some shops that you can go to and trade your Wii Fit in for money off of a new Wii Fit Plus. After doing all of that, I was not disappointed at all. Prior to the trade, the techs showed me how to transfer my Wii Fit profile.I was able to customize my own workout plan and set goals to get better results. I was also able to focus and target my own personal " trouble spots" as well. It allows me to work on a specific area or do something else, like warm up or explore my favorites that I have saved. I can count and estimate my calories burned and even view a list of foods that are equal or near equal to the amount burned. I can also find out what I would need to do to burn off calories for a specific food I have eaten or plan to eat as well. The upgrades made to Wii Fit plus are extensive in my opinion because they are flexible in some ways and can be applied to different scenerios. More than one person can have a profile which is also really cool. I really love it and would certainly recommend it for the whole family. We have all become a bit healthier as a family and I don't think tat would have been accomplished so easily without the help of our Wii Fit Plus System. I would also suggest you try a store where you can get cash off.

I like the Wii Fit Balance board a lot!!

5

I got the Wii Fit Balance Board awhile ago and I have to say that it's been great! I used this along with the Wii Fit game and it was a fun way to stay active and burn some calories. There are so many different activities that you can do as well. It's easy to turn on and start up. You can do weigh ins and even weigh your kids and pets. It also has some balance training games if you need to work on having a better balance for your body. I have really enjoyed using this and my family has had fun with it as well. The board is nice and sturdy and stays in place really well also. Graphics Quality I think that the graphics are really good. It does a good job of keeping track of what you are doing and doing things at the same that you do. Game Variety There are so many different activities that you can choose from. I like the variety of options. Controller Comfort The controller is easy to use and comfortable. The strap comes in handy so it won't be dropped as easily. Ease of Use It's really easy to use, set up and play. Durability The board is very sturdy and strong. It has circle things on the bottom to keep it in place.

I really liked this game!

Wii Fit Plus is a great game for me and for my whole family. We all really enjoy playing this a lot. I spent a lot of time debating on getting this before I went ahead and bought it. I was glad I did. I needed a way to burn some calories, workout and just have fun. This worked. I also homeschool my kids so it's a good way for them to get some energy out while they are in between lessons. It's fun to try to compete with other peoples scores as well. The balance board and this game together go really well. It does a good job of matching what you are doing with the characters on the screen. The other thing I like is the variety of activities that you can choose from, so if you don't like a few things there are always a bunch more to pick from. It doesn't even feel like you are working out. Just having a good time. I would recommend this. It is a whole lot of fun for the whole family. Try it out! You might find that you love it!

Whole family totally loves this game! This is the ultimate video game, but you don't realize you are working out because it's so much fun. There is just so much variety, it really takes a while to go through all the games. I mean where else can you hula hoop, ride a bike, do an obstacle course, or do step aerobics in one place? I can't say enough about this gaming system. During cold winter months this is a great way to burn calories, and get the kids to burn off energy. Please be aware you do need to buy a balance board for these games to work, but I assure you will love this. There is one whole section just for aerobics, there is step aerobics, and there is Yoga too. It's really fun if you are familiar with the Mario games, because you occasionally see characters in the bike games. The graphics are amazing, and they really make the games challenging. We have owned this for about 3 years, and I have still not beaten some of the games. Very fun games, worth the money!

Nintendo Wii Fit Balance Board

When you think of playing video games, you usually are sitting, but when this product hit the shelves that all changed. I have never seen my kids or other family members get so interested in a gaming system, and quite frankly I love it myself. For those of you unfamiliar with the Wii system you do indeed have to own the Wii in order for the balance board to work. I find it amazing that this board can so accurately measure each user as far as weight and strength. We have owned the board for over 6 years and it still works perfectly. It is wireless so you do have to change batteries from time to time depending on your usage level. It takes up no space, we just slide it under the couch when not in use. It is simple once you set it up and sync to the Wii game system. You stand on it, choose the game or workout, and follow the directions on the screen. You can run, bike, do step aerobics, play soccer, etc. There are tons of things to do. My kids love this and so do I, can be used for daily workouts or just for having fun with the family! Graphics Quality Excellent Game Variety Outstanding Durability Wonderful

Fun way to keep fit!

Although it does not replace a true workout going to the gym (and hitting the weights/running on a treadmill), the Wii balance board allows for fun, interactive workout experience at home. Graphics Quality The Wii's graphics are not as life-like as those of Playstation or Xbox, but the graphics are still pretty good. I prefer more of the cartooon like qualities of the Wii as it reminds me of older Nintendo systems I have grown up with. Game Variety There's a bunch of a different activities you can do with the balance board. It lets you do things like simulated skiing and snowboarding. Controller Comfort Pretty easy to use and navigate as you are playing the games. Ease of Use Easy to use. Durability Have had this for over a year with no issues. After a power outage, the Wii console itself required a "hard re-start" which simply involved uplugging it from all electrical sources for a short period of time and plugging it back in again. Have had no problems with the game console since.

Love this

Great product if you're wanting a low key workout that integrates gameplay and fun into getting fit. I wouldn't say this is all you need, but it does serve as a great alternative to other games, whereas you're working out while you play! Graphics Quality Great graphics and lots of options when playing

Great Indoor Alternative for Exercise

5

My family has been using this for about 5 years now and had no problems. It's easy on battery use and hasn't needed any repairs whatsoever. We like using the wii fit with it and getting some feedback on our weight, strength, balance, etc. When it's not ideal weather outside or we can't leave the house, it's great to have something indoors that's still fun and active. I'd much rather my children use this than a more static game. The fit game has a few team games, but for the most part they're individual. It tracks my weight and bmi, which is also nice to have a record of to keep me accountable. One perk I didn't know about ahead of time that is very helpful is that it works on carpet! Graphics Quality It's not gaming graphics, but for the purpose of my needs it's good enough. Game Variety I'd like to see some more activities in the future, but the ones they have are fun. Controller Comfort No troubles here. Ease of Use It's very straightforward and even my young son can navigate the game and board. Durability 5 years of regular use and still going strong.

I love that it's not so big and that it easily fits under my bed when I am not using it. However I don't Like that it shuts off if you run to use the rest room or to take a call. And after a while your feet start to hurt while using it. I suggest buying a gel cover for it or wearing socks/shoes. Graphics Quality The wii fit board looks grate and i like that there is many things I can but to change it up/switch the feel or color. Game Variety It works with so many games. I love that fact. And I love the fact that for most games I only need the wii board and not the paddle. Its a grate way to teach balance. Controller Comfort like I stated it the main comment. (After a while your feet start to hurt while using it. I suggest buying a gel cover for it). Or wearing socks/shoes. Ease of Use It is real easy to use. Easy to turn on. Easy leveling on the ground on any floor. Light enough to where a child can pick it up and use it. Durability Very durable. I have dropped it a few time. And it still works grate.
