Nintendos Wii Fit also comes with with the Wii Fit Channel that keeps track of different family members individual progress along with the Wii Fit Charts and records.   This very popular Wii program has been ranked a favorite amongst kids, teenagers, parents and even seniors.

It has allowed people from all ages and walks of life to exercise while being entertained.   The program uses the Wii Balance Board to re enact your real life movements and brings them to life on the screen.   From light exercises and balance games, through to 10 minute aerobic exercises that will get your heart pumping.

Apart from fitness and having fun with balance games such as snow boarding down a mountain, or walking a tight rope, the program allows you to input your own personal figures, such as height and weight.   It will work out your centre of balance, your posture and Body Mass Index.   For those people uncomfortable with others seeing their personal statistics, there is a pin code feature so the kids or others can’t access your personal details.

It is recommended that you spend some time entering in your families rough details into the program before sharing it with the kids, as it does take a few minutes per person.   When you get a number of family members lining up to take their shot on the balance board, it can get a little frustrating for them while you are entering their details into the program.

Something for every one!

Yoga is really great for improving ones posture and to stretch those muscles.   The onscreen instructor takes you through 4 different poses – The tree pose, the warrior, the warrior and deep breathing.

Due to the balance board, the onscreen instructor will know if you are shaking or having other difficulties, and will give helpful tips on how to retain the pose or advising on shifting your centre of balance.

Balance games are good for re centering your body and posture.    The balance games include soccer heading (heading a soccer ball) Ski Salom, the Ski Jump and the Table Tilt.   The Table Tilt is great fun to watch as players try to shift their weight on the balance board in order to tilt the onscreen floating platforms and draw multi colored balls through the platforms holes.
