Decided to buy the wii fit after paying loads for my gym membership when I never attend! Its easier said than done trying to order one at the moment you either have to be a) very patient or b) very vigilant in order to get one. But I finally got one

Step one is syncing the board, which is extremely easy and then step two is setting up a user file with your chosen Mii.
You have to enter your height and age and the board then weighs you and works out your BMI. You also have to do balance tests. Once you have recieved your BMI and weight you can then get started!

There are four types of exercises: Yoga, Muscle workout, Balance and Aerobic. It then logs the time you spend on each exercise. The more time you spend on Wii Fit, the more exercises you open up, thus enabling you to have a more varied workout each time. Exercises include hula hoop spinning, step aerobics, jogging, ski jump, football heading, press ups, lunges and many more.

So, does it work? Really, I think it comes down to this: Wii Fit is better than no exercise at all but it would be better to do Wii Fit with other things as well. However saying that i have lost a few pounds that I wouldn't have done if I had not done wii fit.
