Wii in the News

Ricky Lim asked:


The latest fitness game from Nintendo is the Wii Fit, which gives you much more workout than Wii Sports, while remaining just as fun to play. The Nintendo Wii Fit does it with the help of a wireless balance board, that is shipped together with the game. There are 4 categories to choose from, with over 40 activities in them.

The 4 main categories are muscle conditioning, yoga, aerobics and balance games. There are also a few mini games to play, such as ski jumping, hula hooping and heading soccer balls.

Training
Included in the training is the assigning of the player’s height to the profile, finding out the body mass index and monitoring the progress of the player and his statistics. Depending on these stats that are collected, the Wii Fit will give you tips on what to improve in different areas.

Mini Games

The hula hooping mini game is exactly what you would expect from it, moving your hips while a hoop shows up on your screen. As the game goes on, more hoops will be added to the game, until the time runs out and the game finishes.

With the skiing game you can practice by doing jumps as long as you can, while still keeping the balance while landing. If you lean forward, you will go faster, and the acceleration will continue for as long as you keep leaning.

When you play Football on the Wii, you get balanced on the board by moving to get the balls that are thrown at you, and you also try to avoid other objects that are thrown towards you.

The Wii Balance Board is a scale that make sure of the latest gyroscopic technology. It’s white and slim and it measures how the player’s balance modifies. It has pressure sensors inside, and it’s capable of detecting whether the player moves, leans or jumps during the action that takes place on the screen. The balance board can be used by any player, regardless of weight.

By burning calories, the effect of staying on the couch with the old consoles is cancelled, and it can be used as a way to stay thin or lose weight.

If you want to buy Wii Fitness, the best places are online where you can find many cheap Nintendo Wii Fitness deals online.

Wilson Marks asked:


You’ve heard so much about Wii Fit, and many of you might have the question on your mind “Does Wii Fit Work?” I bought my Nintendo Wii Fit Starter Bundle online three months ago. During the past three months, I’ve been playing the Wii Fit Starter Bundle on regular basis. So I’d be glad to share my Wii Fit workout experience with you.

What’s  in the Nintendo Wii Fit Starter Bundle?

I placed an order online and received my Wii Fit Starter Bundle in the mail three days later. I couldn’t contain my excitement while opening the package. The package included my long-awaited Wii Fit game and Balance Board. I already got my Wii game console earlier this year along with all the necessary accessories such as the Wii remotes and nunchuck, so I was ready to start playing Wii Fit right away.

Exercises included in the Wii Fit Starter Bundle

There are over 40 different types of training activities offered by Wii Fit, including traditional exercises such as step aerobics, jogging, as well as modern stress busters such as Yoga and meditation. You can also choose  other fund exercises such as Hula Hoops, Snowboarding and rhythm boxing. The exercises offered by Wii Fit are so diverse that every member of your family will find their favorite ones no matter how old or physically active they are.

The pressure-sensitive balance board that comes with the Wii Fit Starter Bundle can hold up to a maximum of 300 pounds. Since quite a few of the Wii Fit games are based on player’s balance of her body, this is where the balance board comes in. Similar to a step aerobics board in appearance, the Wii Fit Balance Board can also measure player’s performance as well as weight, which alongside the height, age and gender determine the player’s Body Mass Index (BMI).
My Workout experience with Wii Fit Starter Bundle

I set up my Wii Fit system as soon as I got the bundle. Firstly, I entered basic personal data such as height, age and gender as instructed by Wii console. The machine calculated my BMI and my fitness level shortly. After my profile creation was complete, I was ready to start getting a taste of Wii Fit.

I am always a fan of Strength Training. So I started with muscle-toning exercises such as Leg lift, Squat, Lunge and more. Wii Fit offered Push-up challenge and it was quite fun. I also played Yoga with the Wii balance board. I have been practicing Yoga for quite a while, so I had no problem in catching up with Yoga poses included in the Wii Fit, such as Cobra, Bridge, Spinal Twist, Shoulder Stand, Warrior and more. It was actually quite interesting to play Yoga with Wii Fit.

My favorite exercise so far is Hula Hoop. It was quite challenging to keep the hoops in the air in the beginning. After a couple of days’ training, I learned how to balance myself. After that, keeping all the hoops in the air while catching some more was really enjoyable. And it was a great workout too.

Does Wii Fit Work for me?

I have been playing with Wii Fit for 40 minutes a day, 3 days per week, during the past three months. Here is the result I’d like to share with you: I lost 4 pounds so far and dropped from size 8 to size 6. I eat like usual during these three months. So I think Wii Fit does work for me, and I will keep exercising and shaping up with Wii Fit.

Will Wii Fit work for you?

Many of you might be on the fence asking “Will Wii Fit work for me?” My answer is “Yes, it will. As long as you do it right and do it regularly.” Don’t get me wrong, Wii Fit  is not going to make you lose weight if you eat excessively and doing 10 minutes a day on Wii Fit. You have to watch your lifestyle and diet too. If you exercise with Wii Fit regularly with a healthy diet, you will be happy to see the result 3 months later just as I did.

Wii Fit is like a home gym membership to some extent. However it is much more fun, and provides more motivations to get people started, especially for those who don’t have time hitting the gym every other day, or just simply don’t like go to the gym. Wii Fit turns the exercises into a fun experience. And there are so many activities included in the Wii Fit game that you wouldn’t feel bored at all.

To sum up, Wii Fit works for me, and it will work for you as long as you manage your expectation and keep a long-time commitment.
