Assessment of ideal weights and body masses a bit generous The Final Word For those who are fairly sporty anyway
The Wii Fit may end up more of a check-and-balance device rather than a full-on trainer

Abstract: I have just watched my husband plummet hundreds of metres to the ground after attempting a daring tightrope walk between two skyscrapers. Fortunately for us, he wasnt really walking along a piece of rope but on a pressure-sensitive "balance board" on...
Makes basic exercise fun, innovative use of peripherals, gets your heart pumping, plenty of different activities.
Wont "blast your quads", no substitute for a real workout, limited multiplayer activities, some activities much more fun than others.
Its important to remember that Wii Fit is a game first and foremost. For the gym junkie, it wont do much. But for the couch potato, it could stave off true obesity. The problem is that it relies on the gamers own motivation to do the exercises prope...

For those who are fairly sporty anyway, the Wii Fit may end up more of a check-and-balance device rather than a full-on trainer, as it seems not to have endurance tests and actively slowed us down when jogging. For all that, its a brilliant idea. Wii ...

No way to create your own exercise program, Youre forced to unlock most of the activities, Some games are rather shallow, Health and fitness assessments can be problematic, Board is sensitive, but you can still cheat at exercises
Wii Fit will help you work up a sweat, but its not as smooth and fun a workout as youd probably like. ...
Abstract: Since you're reading this article, you might be wondering how good this game really is and if it's actually worth your money. If that's the case, I have both good and bad news for you. But don't worry too much; if you're serious about starting a new exerc...
Abstract: Cut off the sleeves on those tshirts and whip out the headband, Wii Fit will have you doing pushups, situps and yoga, but does it really get the body going or is it just an overhyped gimmick? Wii Fit for the Nintendo Wii, is another one of Nintendos ...
Balance Board shows a lot of promise, Nice variety of activities, Balance games are quite fun, Great tracking of BMI, weight, Wii Fit age, Nice Mii integration into certain activities
Too focused on weight and BMI as indicators of health, Gets terribly repetitive very quickly, No way to design a proper regimen, Minimal cardiovascular element, No multiplayer at all
Realistically, I wouldn’t get my hopes up about having Wii Fit completely change anyone’s physique in any sort of substantial way. It’s a fun diversion from a proper exercise regimen, but you can certainly make use of it to improve your...
Abstract: At this point in time, there are three kinds of people in the world: people that have managed to score themselves a copy of the elusive videogame/virtual gym Wii Fit, people that wouldn't be caught dead touching the thing for fear that it may transfor...
Exercise for the masses, loads of built in games and cheaper than going to the gym - you also get a laugh when other people use it in front of you.
Foot plate area could be bigger, the balance board itself could be quite difficult to store, in short supply, you look like a loon when using it.
Great solo fun if you can get hold of it and may even go someway to making the chubbier among us to put down the pork pie and do some exercise instead. Look out for future Nintendo Wii games in the pipeline that will also use the balance board. Login...
