Nintendo Wii Fit Review

3 days ago I purchased the Wii Fit unit for about $89.00 from a local Wal-Mart. I have to admit that when I first watched the demo, I thought it was going to be baby-ish and stupid.

Well let me tell you...I WAS WRONG! Yes, I admit it. As a non-fitness guru I thought I was going to be able to do the workouts with no issues. I thought they looked simple and don't get me wrong, they were. But the thing really makes you work and do them right.

It takes a little time to set the unit up..to answer the questions like your height and age and so on. Don't bother putting your weight in or lying about it because it will weigh you! It will also tell you what your BMI is and help you set your goal for losing weight and lowering your BMI.

Balance is the key factor with this thing. If you don't have good posture or balance, it will tell you. It will measure you and put it on the screen so you can see how to adjust how you stand.

You have several options to use, like Yoga, or balance, strength training, aerobics, and so on. There is even boxing which is different from the boxing in the Wii sports. You earn points, (coins in a piggy bank) that will unlock other levels. I like the jogging one and have yet to go on to the next level. there is also skiing and stretching and step training. Each section breaks off into other things to do like walking a tight rope or balancing on a bubble.

All in all I have to say that the Wii Fit is one of the best things I have ever used. It makes fitness fun! You will get a heck of a good work out!
