Wii Fit - Nintendo Wii

If you like playing games and you want a fun exercise program then Wii Fit - Nintendo Wii is the game for you. Most people get this to help get rid of the extra pounds when they don't have time or the motivation to visit a gym or get a personal trainer.

With the Wii Fit - Wii you get your own virtual trainer to help you reach your goals.

So is it an effective workout?

Well many people have reported losing weight from using the Wii Fit to exercise with, however it probably won't give you the same results as working out with a trainer at the gym.

But it'll be much more fun! And you can choose which exercise and activites you want to do based on the categories of aerobics, muscle, yoga and balance.

The Balance games are really just games and included for a bit of fun, but there is some good exercises and workouts to be had from the muscle, aerobics and yoga routines.

You get to see how many calories you've burned and track your weight loss over time which I find highly motivating. Plus you can choose to workout for 30 minutes or 10 minutes depending on how much time you have to spare that day.

The whole family can also use this as well and each have their own profile making it a family activity to exercise and get healthy together.

You will need a Wii Console to play this game as well as a balance board (which you get with the game), or you can buy everything together in one of the Wii Fit Bundles that are for sale.
