Wii Fit
The Wii Fit bundle is a combination of a Wii "game"
and a special weight-sensing board controller (the Wii Balance Board). As the
name suggests, this game is all about physical
fitness.
The balance board can sense how you are standing on it and
if you are leaning in different directions or shifting your
balance around. This seems pretty simple but really opens
up a wide range of interesting simulations from yoga to
snowboarding.
Wii Fit itself is divided into 5 sections. In the
first section, Body Test, it measures your weight, B.M.I. (body
mass index), and how good you are at controlling your
balance. This body testing is something you'll do
frequently in Wii Fit, and it gives lots of encouragement and
tips at improving your balance, posture, and BMI.
The second section is a series of yoga exercises for
improving your balance and flexibility. The balance board
is used to give you feedback on the movements you're doing and
is great for helping you do your best.
The third section is strength exercises which complement the
yoga exercises to improve your core muscle groups and make you
stronger.
The fourth section of Wii Fit is aerobic exercises like
(virtual) hula-hooping, step aerobic, and rhythm boxing that
will burn calories and give toy a good cardio workout and
improve your coordination.
The fifth and final section is a series of really fun games
that used the Wii Balance Board, such as snowboarding, marble
rolling, soccer ball heading, and so on. These games
complement all the other sections and you'll find your scores
improving as you perform the yoga and strength exercises.
