Nintendo Wii Fit Plus

To understand Wii Fit Plus you need to know a little bit about Wii Fit. For those that know all about Wii fit, refer to the "What's new in Wii Fit Plus" in the Contents at a Glance to get straight to the Wii Fit Plus info. For those who aren't familiar with the Wii Fit series at all, keep reading.

Nintendo's Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus utilize an amazing peripheral known as the Wii Balance Board, pictured to the right. This works in conjunction with the game to calculate your body mass index (BMI) when you plug in your height. It's also used to calculate weight and can be used for a wide range of exercises as well. It can be used as a yoga platform, push up board, a platform for balance games and even can function as a snowboard for skiing and snowboarding games.

The balance board can even work with other games, but we'll get to that later. For now let's talk about how Wii Fit & Wii Fit Plus can actually give you an effective workout while making it FUN.

Wii Fit & Wii Fit Plus have a wide range of exercises including training workouts in yoga, aerobic exercises, balance based workouts, and even muscular strength training workouts. You can perform simple exercises such as push ups or jogging on the balance board which are tracked by the game, or even participate in mini games such as soccer, skiing and even hula hooping.

One of the key factors of Wii Fit/Plus which keeps you coming back for more is that it tracks your progress over time within the different work out categories. Through regular workouts and improvements, the game rewards you by unlocking new game modes and even more rigorous versions of the excersizes that already exist in the game.

This is great at creating incentive and motivating you to work out regularly and obtain those higher scores. Higher scores = better fitness which rewards you with access to new activities as you progress.

The additions Wii Fit Plus brings to the table:

In addition to the original Wii Fit activities and options, Wii Fit Plus also incorporates 15 new balance games and six new strength training and yoga activities. New features include a calorie burning counter, the ability for users to create custom fitness regimens or choose from a number of specialized routines based on specific objectives and available time, as well as having the option to create profiles for pets. Users will also be able to navigate more quickly between exercises, allowing for more flow to their exercise. This was one of the only complaints people had about the first game, and now it has been corrected.

The new features of Wii Fit Plus include a calorie burning counter, the ability for players to create custom fitness regimens and choose from specialized routines based on specific objectives and based on how much time you have. Players will also be able to navigate more quickly between exercises, allowing for more flow to their workout, whereas the original Wii Fit had a slight delay when it came to this.

Wii Fit Plus also includes all the original activities from Wii Fit as well as 6 new strength and yoga activities and 15 new balance games. See below for a list of the new activities:
