Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board
Amazon.com Product Description:
Wii Fit attracted millions of new players to the world of video games. Now Wii Fit Plus offers a range of new features and enhancements to help players reinvigorate their workouts, along with exercises and balance games designed to keep them fun. Players will find a new dimension to the Wii Fit experience as they easily set their own customized workout routines, or choose 20-, 30- or 40-minute workouts based on how much time they have available.
As with the original Wii Fit release, Wii Fit Plus is designed, as its name implies, to improve the user's fitness. The game contains a large number of activities that fall into a variety of categories, including: yoga, aerobics, strength training and balance games. With all but a few exceptions, which utilize variations on a standard Wii Remote configuration, all activities utilize the Wii Balance Board (included with this bundle), either alone or configured with either a Wii Remote alone or the Wii Remote and nunchuck. The Balance Board, like any other Wii controller acts as a motion/pressure sensing device wirelessly synched to your Wii and replicating your body's movements. Each controller employed occupies one of the Wii's four wireless inputs, together mapping the reference points needed to recreate most full body motions on screen. Although this limits the majority of the activities to a single player orientation, various activities throughout the game support up to eight players in alternating play. To use Wii Fit Plus players import their Miis from their Wii system, set up profiles, establish a current physical baseline, set fitness goals, and embark on a routine to reach them. Wii Fit Plus tracks your usage, weight and progress towards your goal over time, giving you a status report as you start each session. At any time players can choose whatever activity they want, whether exercise or balance game, and as they progress in these they will level up in each, gaining points, setting high scores and unlocking more activities. Personalization Option Via 'The Locker Room' The original Wii Fit was designed to have something for everyone. Now Wii Fit Plus raises the bar by providing users with personalization options that allow them to find/create a specific workout routine that is exactly right for them, their family and their lifestyle. One example of this is "The Locker Room." Easily accessible throughout the game, here players can choose from a number customizable options that allow them to maximize their time with Wii Fit Plus without having to navigate through the game menu while in the middle of a workout. In essence this allows players to become their own personal trainer. Customization options available within The Locker Room include: preprogrammed and timed Wii Fit Plus Routines; My Routine, where you choose your own set of activities, optimizing their length and area of the body to be focused on; and Favorites, a notation of activities you frequent, which provides fast access to exercises you enjoy doing the most. Addition Yoga and Strength Exercises Designed as an addition to the already substantial list of focused, physical exercises available in Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus contains six new and challenging strength and yoga activities. But continuing with the game's commitment to personalization, the key to these additions is not in their volume, but in how the player chooses to mix and match them. Do them in the order they are presented, or combine them in whatever order you want. The choice is yours. The player even has the ability to repeat the ones that he/she prefers, maximizing attention and effort where it is needed most. In addition, for those to whom time is a commodity, you can now omit unnecessary interludes between exercises, making for a continuous, timesaving routine. A Wealth of New Balance Games Regardless of the considerable fitness factor packed into Wii Fit Plus, the Nintendo brand is and will always be all about having fun. With that in mind Wii Fit Plus also comes packed with 15 new, entertaining balance games suitable for every member of the family. Just a few of those that players can expect to see are: Juggling; Skateboarding; Snowball Fight; Obstacle Course, a log-leaping, cannonball-evading event reminiscent of what Nintendo icon Mario must go through; and Perfect 10, a balance game designed to promote a combination of physical and mental health. In this final example the player's Mii is situated between multiple color-coated balls, each showing specific numbers, with the goal to swing your hips, hula style, in different directions to tap out a total of ten as many times as possible before time runs out.

WII FIT/BOARD
The WII FIT with BALANCE BOARD was the cheapest I found and I love every minuet of it. I will always shop AMAZON for the best deals around.

lots of different ways of doing excercise
I bought this product after getting the wii and try it for some weeks, and having lots of fun. My wife is a litte over her weight and even went to some gyms, so i though that it will be a good idea to try wii fit plus as an alternative to going to the gym, which some times is difficult. At first my wife wouldn't even try, but once she saw me two or three times moving and having fun, she got stick it to it. You try the different game options, if you like more active games, running with a dog or ula hoops, or some others less demmanding like add numbers with your hip, all of them have something to get you moving and concentrating on improving yourself. My wife prefer running, and I riding a bike, so wihtout getting out, in rainy days or realy late at night we like to have fun with it.
The game has two parts, one which is more scholastic, show you how to do yoga and other movements, from breathing to strech, realy well explained, even in spanish. The other part is several games where your mii character plays along and get you moving. The start is a little anoying, but since ocurres just once to weigh you and see how balance your body is, as a baseline is worth it give it the time.
So far i still am in begginer levels, and not an expert on wii, but certanly is one of the games I have try so far.
I recomend the balance board because also works wiht other games and is realy easy to set it up and realy impresive how sensitive to your movements gets. The worse part is its weight so you cannot take along with you else were, but I guess was mented not to take it out. It is just because we use to take our wii with us to our family houses to play with them.

Thoroughly enjoy my Wii Fit!
I greatly enjoy my Wii Fit! It is a fun way to enjoy a bit of fitness and a great way to keep track of progress.

WII Fit Plus ( and WII Board)
This is a great activity instead of sitting on the couch on cold winter nights when we don't move around enough. The only fustration is the WII age - it should be an average rather than a 50 point range depending on the avtivity & how fast you grasp it!

I like it, but...
it doesnt seem to give me the workout i was wanting. I got the biggest loser game and use it in between wii fit workouts. I have only had it a month so I am sure as I use it i will find more things that i enjoy. Just unsure at this point.
