Better that Wii Fit but ........

Advantages: A great improvement on Wii Fit
Disadvantages: You need to be self motivated to stick with it

Fit and are wondering about an upgrade I suggest you skip the next few paragraphs and head for "What's new". Basically what it comprises is software for the Wii and a 'Balance Board' - this is like a large set of weighing scales which you stand on for many of the exercises and games. It is solid enough when you stand on it the 'balance' element is that it can cleverly calculate your weight, how much weight you put on each foot and also where your centre of gravity is - you don't actually have to 'balance' on it as it doesn't move around. Getting Started It works virtually straight out of the box, you need to insert batteries (which are provided) and then press a button to make it communicate with your Wii console and you are ready to go. The first thing to do is to input your details to go with the Mii you will have ...

Wii Fit

Advantages: great for weightloss, fun for all the family, improves posture, balance and health

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Wii Fit Plus a big improvement

Advantages: Good value for money, increased workout choices
Disadvantages: Limited target settings

After using the original Wii Fit game for about a year, I found the Wii Fit Plus to be a big improvement, and good value at only £20. It automatically transfers all your saved data from the Wii Fit so you don't have to start over. I found the major improvement to be the facility to program a workout, rather than just being able to do individual exercises as before - it means a much better workout overall as you don't have to keep stopping and selecting exercises. You can either select a preset workout from the menu or customise your own using your favourite bits. There are a number of new excercises present as well which I found great as I did start getting a bit bored with the limited selection on the original Wii Fit. The calories/target section is a bit of a let down, you can set a target for calories to burn each day but these are ...
