Advantages: Works with the Wii Balance Board and includes diet menus Disadvantages: The Wii Balance Board doesn't always give accurate scoring
I bought my Wii Fit when it first came on to the market but after a while using it becomes quite frustrating and tedious so I have advanced to other programmes using the Wii in order to improve my fitness. When I saw that FitnessFirst were brining out a Wii Fitness programme I just had to give it a try.
I placed and advance order with Amazon for the game and now I am pleased to say it has arrived.
Out of the Box
I have never really been known for my patience so it wasn't too long after the postman had delivered it before I had opened the case and put the disc into the console. I was very pleased to see that it was simplicity itself to get started (no need to read the instructions at this stage!). I had to enter my name and basic details to set up my profile and it used the Wii Balance Board to check my weight. I ...
Advantages: great for weightloss, fun for all the family, improves posture, balance and health Disadvantages: expensive, can only register up to 8 family members

training and improving your posture.
You then get your own profile which tracks your weight and bmi in a graph, and you can set targets for weight loss.
There are lots of interesting types of exercise you can do, such as hula hooping, step aerobics using the balance board, running on the spot, ski jumping, tightrope walking (which I have never managed to walk further than 1m, I always end up falling off!), ski slalom, muscle toning and yoga. It's easy to spend an hour on the wii fit, trying out different exercises and it's surprising how much of a workout you actually get. Many times I've had to stop for a drink of water or a rest and you do manage to work up a sweat.
You can pick either a male or female personal trainer who is good at encouraging you through the different exercises and yoga positions.
You have a 'fit cash ...
