Fun:
I'd seen these on line a while ago and thought I would give one a try once they were available in the UK. The product is well made and provides good support for the balance board - the only drawback is that it does move slightly as you step on and off - but you soon get used to it.
As for the work out - I've been using the Wii Fit for quite a while on a regular basis mainly for the step exercises, but now feel the Wii fit has upped it's game. 1/2 an hour on the wii gave me the smug feeling that I'd made an effort - 1/2 an hour with the Wii riiser makes me feel I've made a difference.
If you are ready to up the pace then I would suggest giving one a go! Josh's Mum

Fun:
Like most, I found the step aerobics on Wii Fit a bit too easy and was looking for a way to add some more challenge.
I bought this riiser and really like it. It has made my workouts more intensive and after 30 mins of stepping I can feel my leg muscles really working. It also adds to the levels of workout in other activities, including the rhytym boxing.
The only drawback I found was the slight movement, but I tried using some of the fabric that goes under rugs to stop them slipping, putting a piece inside the 'cups' that hold the wii board feet. It doesn't affect the games or the reading of weight etc and has completely eliminated any movement.
All we need now is a more intensive workout game for step... over to you Nintendo

Fun:
You would not believe how much difference an extra 2 inches can make!
I really enjoy the step programme on the wii fit but even when doing a 40 minute programme I wasn't building up a sweat or feeling like I had done much of a workout.
Once I started using this the difference was noticeable immediately. I started with a 20 minute workout and I definately sweated.
You do have to get used to slight movement when doing the sideways step off exercises but it doesn't hinder the exercise at all.

Get a better workout
The increased height of the balance board when using this riser really helps the fitness training. It raises the board to the recomended height for step exercises. Read more

Makes the step useful
The Wii step is a little to low - this addresses the problem. Simple and well priced it's a must for anyone using the Wii step regularly.

Does what is says on the tin
Easy to use just pop the Wii fit board on top.
It works better on hard floor than on carpet. Sometimes it misses a count when on a soft carpet, but still works OK.
