Advantages: lots of fun

Disadvantages: no subsitute for going to the gym

The first time I had a go on the wii fit was with friends at Christmas time and I have to say we had lots of fun. Since then I have purchased my own wii fit and have been using it for about 4 months now. It has lots of choice of exercise and games so I'd say it's definitely something for the whole family.

Wii fit comes with the wireless wii balance board which is pressure sensitive and is used for the majority of the games. It can messure your weight and BMI and is a fantastic way to keep track of any extra pounds you may gain. Although when you first get started it tells you to weigh yourself everyday, I think that this is a disadvantage as your weight can fluctate so much in one day. There are so many useful tips you can pick up about eating habits and general fitness which you can take away and use them in everyday life.

As a fitness tool don't think it's the best on the market but it is probably the most fun. There are 4 main categories which works on the whole body which are:-

Yoga
Muscle
Aerobic
Balance

There are a number of games in each category which you can unlock as you progress and get better at each activity. This gives you a goal to work towards and you can keep track of how your doing using the scoreboard or compete with family or friends.

In my opinion, I think the wii fit is fantastic for a good laugh and light fitness but I wouldn't use it as my only source to keep myself in shape. It gives you many useful tips and try's to encourage you along your route to staying in shape.

Summary: Fantastic
