Wii Fit Plus

Looking for a way to burn calories and have fun doing it?
Nintendo’s got the solution you have been looking for. Bundled with a balance board that acts as both a scale and a sensor, Wii Fit Plus is a game designed to introduce gamers to various exercises that are sure to burn fat and improve their health all from the comfort of your own home.

The Wii Fit Plus is anything but traditional. Requiring someone to stand up and use their own body is unheard of among gamers who prefer to remain planted on their sweat-stained seats mashing buttons all day. The willingness to take this line of thinking and throw it out the window is what makes Nintendo unique. Their ability to create a game that, by all rights, should hold no interest for the gaming community and still make it one of the most fun and satisfying titles on the racks is a testament to why the company is considered the revolutionary giant of the gaming world.

Being an exercise-based game, the Wii Fit Plus requires its user to stand on the balance board where, after inputting your height and age, your weight and balance are then measured and a Wii Fit age assigned. Afterwards, you are presented with a menu of various activities and games to play with. They range from basic exercises to physically taxing games that will get your pulse pounding and the calories dropping. Most of the exercises are immediately accessible with more becoming available as you progress.

After completing each exercise, a calorie counter calculates just how many calories you burned. The number of calories cut is based on the difficulty of the exercise. This is a fantastic feature that encourages the player to continue working toward losing weight.

You can also create custom workout routines that allow the player to focus on a specific area of the body. Doing so helped me to lose three pounds in my first week. There are also four preset routines that include lifestyle, health, youth, and form.

Some of the more entertaining games include running an obstacle course, hula hoop, and dodging snowballs in a snowball fight. Many focus on maintaining your balance so as to improve your posture. Golf especially measures even the slightest change in your stance as you swing away with the wii remote.

All in all, this is a great game that will almost surely provide Nintendo with another bestseller. Its fun and informative, prompting gamers to pursue a healthy active lifestyle. Next time your thinking of going to the gym, invite a friend over and pop in a Wii Fit Plus instead. Working out has never been so fun.
