want to do a body test. It will then ask you how heavy the clothing is that you are wearing (you are given three options of light, heavy or other which allows you to input the weight of them). The body test tells you to stand on the board with your legs apart while it weighs you and monitors the position of your centre of gravity. It then shows you how your centre of gravity has moved during the weigh-in in comparison to where it should be! You then move on to the weight screen where you see a vertical scale showing sections marked as underweight, ideal weight, overweight and obese. A slider will move up the scale to show where you are on it and your BMI is shown on the screen. You can press a button to see your actual weight too and it will also show you your previous weight and BMI. The next screen shows you a graph of how your weight has ...

Wii Fit

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

Last Christmas, my mum (a.k.a. "Santa") got the family a Wii Fit - hinting at my sister and I that we need to keep fit. I'm going to admit, I'm a bit fat. Now, I'm not one of those people you see in documentaries who can't get out of bed because they're huge but I could stand to lose a stone or two. I used to go to the gym twice a week but I found it too difficult and it was straining keeping up with my trainer, and I felt embarassed whenever I told him I couldn't do something. I did lose about half a stone though so I was happy about that. When I started using the Wii fit I was a bit anxious about trying it out because it had been a while since I'd been to the gym and I wasn't too keen to let my family see how unfit I was!

Keeping fit

Advantages: something different, fun for all
Disadvantages: doesn't exactly count as a weight-loss program

. It would have been better if there would have been more graphics in this part. Wii fit takes the whole collaboration of games and fitness to an entirely new level..All the exercises are split in four different categories- ? Yoga ? Muscle ? Aerobic ? Balance There are 15 muscle toning and 15 yoga poses available. There is a variety in the poses from breathing to ballet like poses,standing still etc. The muscle toning focuses on core and legs.There are squats and lunges for legs, planks for abs but no crunches i(a major disappointment). There are slow pushups for shoulders and chest. One can always perform some drills using dumbbells. The aerobic and balance exercises always add to the fun quotient. Aerobic games include wii spots like boxing, jogging in a virtual park, the hula hoop games,step dancing, etc. The 6 minute boxing is the most ...
