Awesome workout game

WII FIT is an exciting way for kids and adults to exercise using the Wii console. It's a compilation of 40+ games to play on the Wii Balance Board, a special peripheral that comes packaged with the game. The Wii Balance Board looks like a giant scale that sits on the floor. When you stand on it, it can detect the slightest shifts in your balance, which means it can tell if you are leaning forward or backward, and from side-to-side. In addition to balance, the board can also determine your weight. The games are broken into four categories: aerobics, balance, yoga, and strength training. Under aerobics, you can hula-hoop, do step-aerobics, run (next to, not on the board), or rhythm-box. The yoga activities teach you how to breathe and do yoga poses. Strength training shows you how to do a variety of exercises including lunges, torso twists, and push-ups, all using the board. The balance games are the most fun because they have you heading soccer balls, skiing down slopes, performing ski-jumps, snowboarding, and walking on tightropes, as well as pretending to be a table with balls on it you tilt by leaning back and forth, and a bubble that you control through a maze by moving your body. Retails at $89

Perfect for rainy day fun!

For kids that don't get enough energy out by being inside on a rainy day, this is a great alternative and gets the entire family involved as well as helps establish goals.

Makes excercising fun for the whole family!

You just need to remember to go in and adjust your child's height occassionally as they grow so that it doesn't mess up the BMI.

Great games and good exercise

Wii Fit has a fun set of games, with enough variety that you can choose what you want to do and avoid the games that drive you nuts! They system is well designed, with many of the exercises guiding the user to the correct form by the very nature of the design. It is challenging and many of the activities are a good workout.
