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

So far the best I have managed is 49.9% and 50.1% but I live in hope that one day I will get it exactly right! After a few days of using Wii Fit it sometimes suggests you do this test with your eyes shut to see if you are as good at keeping your balance without any visual clues which is a bit of a challenge. Next it will assess your BMI (Body Mass Index) and assign it a figure. A figure... Read review
