Product description
Nintendo Wii Fit with Wii Balance Board. Videogame peripherals of the past sometimes put focus on the feet instead of the hands. From the Power Pad from the days of the Nintendo Entertainment System to the dance mat used in the Dance Dance Revolution series, gamers the world over have used their walking sticks for more physical gameplay experiences. But nothing that preceded it can compare to Wii Fit and the Wii Balance Board, turning the living room into a fitness centre for the whole family.

The key thing is the used version functions as expected without any faults and connects to the wii perfectly.
Batteries last a long time because it automatically switches off when you stop the game and exit back to the main menu. I am happy with this feature because I am so forgetful.
I am glad I bought the used version; the new version is way out of my price point, but the used ones are fairly priced.
I suppose, now in 2016 if you've never played it and are stuck indoors and wanting to become a bit less of a slob, you could get this with a Wii for under £40.
It helped me get into the idea of actually having a regimen for doing some sort of exercise since being at school. Of course it never really seems like work with Nintendo's saccharin touch.
Stamina and balance are mostly concentrated on. It's light stuff but could be a lifesaver if only as a gentle push back in the right direction especially after Christmas. None of us are getting any younger right?
The balance acts as another controller, in addition to the remote controller, and this extends the amount that you can work with the game. It's solid, easy to use, and very simple to set-up. I would however suggest that you either buy the rechargeble battery packs or get some standard rechargeable AA batteries as otherwise you will find yourself spending a fortune on replacements.
The Wii Fit game itself is a series of separate activities that are designed to get you working your muscles and improve your fitness, and contains some simple cardio vascular exercises. These are generally lower impact so could be suitable for people with limited mobility, injuries or other conditions that make exercising difficult. As with any exercise regime, the benefits will vary according to how much time you can devote to it, and how long you exercise. However, as part of a sensible routine, there is no question that it can be of benefit.
It's also immense fun! Suitable for singles or groups, for most ages and could be a brilliant family activity.
But the exercise activities themselves are brilliant for easing you into those 30 minutes of activity per day. They range from the VERY gentle - basic step aerobics - to routines that will really work up a sweat (advanced boxing is one of my favourites - you can feel it burning that fat away after a good 10 minutes - and super hula, which works up a heat!). The balance games are fun and addictive (in particular, helping penguins to catch fish and tilting balls into precariously positioned holes).
I've found the yoga very helpful in improving my posture and balance - I suspect the yoga / muscle workouts are a little neglected by most users as they're not as colourful and fun as the aerobic / balance games. But they're well-designed and very effective, so worth sticking at.
Good set of exercises and monitoring of weight and balance.
If your not keen on gyms or dont want to get involved in a contract with one then use this. Have had it a few weeks and its great fun as well as, hopefully, making me fitter.
Minor gripe is that the software does nag if you dont use it every day and at the right time!
The exercises involve swinging the hips, step aerobics, jogging, ski jump, boxing, even meditation as well as others.
No problems with functionality, works well, battery usage seems to be good as I've used it every few days for the last 4 weeks with no problems in the battery drain dept.
