Top Nintendo Wii Fitness Games

Wii Dumbells w/ Adjustable Weights

Generally, getting a workout while playing video games sounds like a contradiction in terms. We usually associate the gaming genre with a sedentary lifestyle, a leading cause of obesity. At first glance, our common sense tells us to avoid "gaming" in order to maximize our health - however, there's an important catch.

The reality is that Nintendo has sold millions of copies because they do the opposite. They don't turn you into a "coach potato" (unless you overdo it!), they get you off the coach, onto the exercise mat and into that much desired fat burning zone by engaging your attention in dynamic lifelike scenarios that seem like exercise or fitness related activities, but are really simulated video games. Sounds a little complicated until you turn on your TV and Wii, slip in your game disc, and select your game. Then you're hooked.

Wii Fit Game w/ Balance Board

Wii Fit is Nintendo's top selling fitness game. The dynamic duo of Wii Sports Resort and the revolutionary Wii Remote brought penalty kicks, hole-in-ones, and match point serves straight into players' living rooms. With Wii Fit, Nintendo converts your living home into a personal fitness center. Family members will have a blast getting a fun "core body" workout, and bragging about their results and progress on the Wii Menu game channel.

Learn to block incoming soccer balls, hit the slopes with Snowboard Slamom or stretch and hold the perfect yoga posture. As Wii Fit players use the Wii Balance Board (included with Wii Fit) their body's overall balance is measured and linked to the workout in an innovative way, a revolutionary technique that allows the game to tailor a customized workout routine to meet their specific needs and goals for each individual session. Wii Fit also uses the Wii balance board for daily weight, balance, and core strength resistance tests to help players track their progress in an interactive progress display.

It's no surprise this has been Nintendo's top-selling fitness game!
