Nintendo Wii Fit

Pros: fun, easy to do, diverse workouts

Cons: inaccurate measurements, no way to adjust pace of workouts, no multi-player format

The Bottom Line: This has been a hit with everyone in my family and encourages them to get fit while having fun like playing a video game.

Review: Over the years there have been many a gimmick to get people exercising. One need only flip the channels at three in the morning to see celebrities touting a variety of pieces of equipment designed to flatten tummies and build muscles. Much less ...

Pros: Active, improves balance and increased awareness of physical state.

Cons: Board is small. No levels on the games.

The Bottom Line: This is a video game which is great for entertainment purposes. Don't read more than that into it.

Review: I saw the Wii Fit on Good Morning America one morning and decided that it looked cool enough to spend $90 on. This is actually a bundle deal which may be why it costs so much. You get the balance board which acts as the controller as well as a game ...

Pros: Creative, innovative

Cons: Not that fun

The Bottom Line: The Wii Fit is a great first stab at a new style of "game". But it simply isn't fun enough to hold everyone's attention.

Review: Leave it to Nintendo to create something so brilliant and flawed at the same time. Not only is their Wii console very hard to find, but now they have a game that's equally hard to find. Wii Fit is the newest innovation by Nintendo, which has been ...

Pros: Gets you moving and may motivate you for more exercise

Cons: Hard to really consider it a video game

The Bottom Line: Buy it if you want to use it as a stepping stone for more exercise but don't expect miracles.

Review: I purchased Wii Fit with the Balance Board mainly because my wife liked the idea and wanted it. I thought it sounded like a neat idea but wasn't sure I would really get into it. We have both ended up using it equally as much. First off, the balance ...

Pros: Fun balance games, good motivation to get a few mins of cardio in.

Cons: Price, sensitivity issues, going to lose interest quickly

The Bottom Line: Great idea, about a dozen little quibbles. Pray for more games considering the price.

Review: The Wii balance board was the coolest thing I'd ever played with for about half an hour. It has a bunch of potential, but the Wii fit "game" isn't so much a game as a reason to get up off the couch. The pros: Balance games are alot of fun and give ...

Pros: There is always a workout partner and set up of and storage is easy breezy.

Cons: Pricey and hard to track down. Also, I wouldn't suggest running on the Wii fit.

Review: The Nintedo Wii Fit introduces yoga,stregth training, balance. and aerobics to console gaming with a completely seperate wireless board as the game controller.The whole family will be able to use ...

Pros: Nice variety of activities, gets harder the more you play

Cons: Expensive, requires floor space, not a strenuous workout, not enough activities

The Bottom Line: Provides a good range of light exercises and games, mostly focusing on balance. Good supplement to Wii Sports (although boxing stinks in both games).

Review: I'm not a serious video game player. I can sort of sympathize with how they feel violated by the Wii. I think i felt the same way in high school when celebrities started knitting. And more recently, when I saw an article about steampunk on the front page ...

Pros: Balance Board has some merit.

Cons: Its a fitness tracker with some exercises and pitiful presentation. NO MULTIPLAYER.

The Bottom Line: If you are the type of consumer who buys any exercise machine or fitness tapes you see on Home Shopping network THEN WII FIT WAS MADE JUST FOR YOU !

Review: I have never been afraid to try out new games. I especially haven’t shied away from those that were interested in under represented genres such as home fitness. For example, I quickly got onto the Dance Dance Revolution bandwagon when I realized how ...
