About Wii Fit
Wii Fit encourages the whole family to take an interest in their fitness by making it fun. Motivation to keep playing comes as you track your in-game progress.
The Wii Fit game comes with a wireless, battery operated Balance Board. It’s divided into four pressure-sensitive areas and reads your weight and where your center of balance is distributed. By tracking your movement, the game can see whether you’re doing the exersises correctly.
Take a look at this video from Nintendo. It’s an overview of how the Balance Board works and there are some examples of the exercises and mini-games:
When you play Wii Fit for the first time
The first time you play, the game measures your weight and calculates your center of balance. By asking your height, it then calculates your BMI (Body Mass Index), giving you a starting point. Now you can track your progress every time you play the game.
The four training categories:
• Aerobic exercise increases stamina and helps burn fat
• Balance games allow you to develop balance control
• Muscle workouts help tone and condition muscles
• Yoga combines each of the other elements and aids flexibility
As you play you’ll discover over 40 different activities and mini-games such as Ski Jumping and Rhythm Boxing. You can also unlock new game options and record your progress through your BMI and balance ratings.
