Goodbye Tacky American Fitness Machine Adverts .... June 24, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have just been playing this for an hour or so and i'm in agony !!!!!! Just as Wii Sports done the pain thing to me before , this has hit me twice as hard . All i can say really is that , IT WORKS . Plain and simple . It mixes slight cartoony elements (Wii Sports) with workouts that are pretty serious in helping this obese nation (according to the media) get in shape , and all from our own home . Fingers crossed it ends those tacky American fitness machine adverts you see all the time on TV . Congratulations are in order AGAIN for Nintendo . Hopefully there will be more like this coming ???

I bought this as a gift for my wife thinking it would be pretty gentle fun.
As someone who does a fair bit of exercise, I was impressed with the range of activities and how demanding some of the muscle workouts were.
My only beef would be the downtime between exercises when you have to go through the menu selection. If you could pre-chain exercises together I'd have given this a five-star rating.
That said, it's a pretty small gripe for a home exercise game which is great fun and really does work you out!
Wii Fit: shape up in a innovative & entertaining new way! June 18, 2008
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Well I've owned my Wii Fit since launch date & have got to say I've been absolutely amazed by the results that Nintendo's fun little exercise tool has produced in just a couple of months.
I've got too admitt that I've been meaning to start getting exercising again for some time now & could certainly do with loosing a bit of weight as I have put of a few pounds over the years. The only problem for me has always been finding the time to go to the gym & will power to keep an eye on what I eat, I mean lets face it everybody thinks "ah a can of coke & some crisps won't realy hurt!!!" problem is it all weighs up given time.
I have always been a huge video game fan & when I first heard about Wii Fit I was very intruiged & decided to pre-order myself a copy for launch date to see if Nintendo new peice of kit was worth the hype.
Thankfully I can report that the answer to this question is undeniable yes.
Since received my Wii Fit, I have been making sure I do a regular session of a minimum of 1hour per night doing 30mins Strengh Training + Yoga and 30mins on Aerobic + Balance games & what a difference it has made.
Not only has Wii Fit helped me ensure that I get regular sessions of exercise per day, but it has also given me the extra motivation to ensure that I keep an strict eye on what I eat. All together since I started Wii Fit I have come down from 14st 8lb righ down to 13st 7lb which is just over 1st, which I think anybody will agree is pretty impressive for just a couple of months work & I certainly intend to continue the hard work.
I think personally what has impressed me most about Wii Fit is how the developers have designed the Yoga and Strengh Training exercising sections of the game, which are the main meat of the program. All of the exercises are explained and demonstrated by your instructor in a clear and easy to follow example before you begin the exercise and then whilst you perform the exercises, you receive verbal encouragement if you a performing the moves correctly or detailed instructions on how to put yourself right if you are a little of track. The system measures this by using the various sensors on the balance board which measure preasure applied and suitle movement in your body. So for instance, if you are performing the tree pose in the Yoga section and begin to lose balance, the sensors in the balance board will sense this causing a red dot on the screen which you have been instructed to keep in the centre of a yellow circle to move of course & your instructor will instruct you how to recentre your balance. Just brilliant.
Naturally after you finnish the hard work on the Yoga & Strengh sections on the game, you will want to relax by having some fun on the aerobic and balance games. These two sections of the game are the ones which most people will enjoy most when friend and family come around as there are so many fun activities to enjoy ranging from: Hoola Hoop spinnin, head the football, ski slalom, table tilt, tight rope walking, rythm boxing & my personal favourite, rythm dancing. All of these games are extremely fun & provide a good laugh whilst watching one of your friends getting hit in the face with football boots and panda heads whilst trying to head footballs, but most importantly because all of games get you moving your body it still provides a fairly good energetic workout.
Unfortunately the have been some people who have decided to brand Wii Fit as just a gimmick by Nintendo, but trust me when I say full heartedly that this is far from just another fad & can very justifyably stake its claim as a serious peice of exercising kit!
What I also find quite exciting is the potential which the new Wii Balance Board holds for future 1st and 3rd party games. The new peripheral certainly has some very impressive technology packed into its sturdy little shell which developers will no doubt be able to use in various innovative ways, I have only just picked up Family Ski which is the 1st game to use the new balance board and have got to say that I was extremely impressed by just how accurate it mimics & simulates using real ski's and ski polls & this is just one of the first generation balance board compatible games.
Expect to see big things from Nintendo new balance board!
Wii (eely) works, on getting you fit June 16, 2008

Like most reviewers, we rec'd this little gem on the launch day ... Me well played with it a little, love the balance games section.
My lady, well she's never off it! when we have people around, i have to create loads of mii's as they all want a go!
Seriously this is an excellent tool, my partner has really toned well, she uses this every other day for a 30 minute workout, and is much fitter and leaner.
The Nintendo WII FIT is well worth it, if you stick at it results will happen, if you play at it (like me) you'll get a quick work out fix.
I'd rate this 8.5/10 ... a really great product, that really does work.
