Addictive. Hard. Rewarding. Fun. Tiring. Frustrating. Amazing.
Too many adjectives, I know, but Wii Fit is all of those things.
I was impressed when we bought a Wii for our daughter last Christmas. Now I'm thrilled. Finally, a video "game" that seems tailor made for me! I've only had my copy of Wii Fit for a few days now, but already I can tell that if any piece of home equipment is ever going to help me get back in shape, this is it. Setting it up is hardly tougher than slipping in a DVD, and, unlike the Total Gym I once had, it makes you feel young just using it.
The first thing you do is weigh yourself by standing on the included wireless "Balance Board." After that, everything seems more like a game than a workout, but after 30 minutes with this thing I was sweating just as much as I do at the gym. There are four types of exercises: aerobics, balance, strength training, and yoga. Lasting from a minute to 10 minutes each, specific virtual activities include boxing, hula-hooping, jogging, push-ups, some very fun snowboarding action and this funky tilting game where you push balls into virtual holes.
Back to that balance board. You'll hate what it tells you about yourself, but love that it told you. Besides your weight, you learn your Wii Fit Age, a figure that combines your weight, body mass index and sense of balance. As you exercise, the program tracks your progress, or lack of it.
My only two complaints: the voice that speaks to you is little-kid cute, and there are no pre-set workouts.
If you're like me, you buy a lot of video games for your kids. If you can find it, buy this one for yourself. I got mine at list price, but I'd say it's worth about $150.

When Nintendo came out with the Wii a few years ago, it gave gamers a whole new appreciation in the way we actually play video games. With games like Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports and Super Smash Brothers Brawl, gamers of all ages have shown a great interest in the new ways we play video games. But, Nintendo has taken that motion gameplay worldwide with a whole new level with Wii Fit. Unveiled at E3 in 2007, it really showed a new method of the way we can use our bodies to flex and stretch in new shapes and forms to balance ourselves into a better fit life, and a whole number of great activities that are really more than meets the eyes, and might.
Wii Fit for the Nintendo Wii is one of the most exciting titles to come out for the system this year. The gameplay is more about the motion and abaility to test you shape and movement of your body. You will work with a virtual trainer either male or female, who will help you guide your body to the better future you desire. There are activities that range well from simple aerobics and exercises like Yoga, push ups and Pilates, all the way to more aggessive activies like jogging in place through a run through the park. But, the minigames that you unlock along the way really bring out more of the challenge with the sensitive motion of the Wii balance board. The minigames range from line dancing step aerobics, all the way to balancing on a tightrope walk on a high wire, all the way to simple exercises like table tilt which is actually much easier to master by tilting your body to get the ball in the hole, without causing it to fall down.
As I found out, trying the Wii Balance Board out at the Nintendo World Store on May 8th in New York City, the balance board is very sensitive to all your movements, so its takes percise accuracy and timing to master through some of the activites in each of the games like the Ski Jump and the Downhill Ski course. If you move too fast, you might lose points whther blocking a soccer goal or balancing to the top. The graphics look great and appeal very well with the gameplay, as well as the music to the game which is simple and elequent to the gameplay. Sadly, there are a few disadvantages to the game. The first is that the Wii board is extremely sensitive, so much that you can't even have your shoes on when playing the games, and could damage the Wii Balance Board. A second disadvantage is that the battery life for the balance board takes so much energy, that you'd have to constantly recharge the battery in the balance board.
While Wii Fit does have a few errors, it is definitely proof that Nintendo really has made a whole new way on how we play video games. Wii Fit is very challenging for all gamers young and old and works pretty good addition to your Wii video game library. While I honestly wish the game could've cost a little bit less, the game it really worth the weight.

I own the Wii Fit since last week. I'm 32, 1.76m, ~82-84kg (fluctuates) and with my wedding coming up in a few months I wanted to lose some weight. I work all day and have little time in the evenings so the preparation and driving to and from the gym was too much. I wanted to use that 30-40 min to exercise, not prepare for exercise. I own a Wii since Xmas and decided to try this out after reading various reviews on the internet. Is this as good as going to the gym? No it does not replicate a gym. Will it get the job done? Will it keep you fit and help you lose weight? YES YES YES! I love it and highly recommend it. I get a great work out in 45 min. I feel great about myself, and have already lost a kilo. (note I have not changed my diet). Notice I get my work out in as much time as it takes to commute and prepare for gym. I also have more fun than going to the gym on my own. Perhaps going to a gym with a friend would be more fun. Depends. Anyway I love the Wii Fit! Note it takes a few times to get used to it and figure out how best to use it. Why? Well there is no prepared program for you. You have to decide on your own what you want to do and in what sequence. I start off by doing the aerobics (jogging, holla hoop) and then vary. Basically, the Wii Fit breaks its exercises into Muscle, Balance, Aerobics, and Yoga. I mainly doing the Aerobics and mix in some muscle and yoga. The muscle and yoga can be really tough. You wouldn't believe how much. You can really feel the muscles working. I do the balance exercises when I'm tired and want to relax a bit in between exercises. They may help with balance but are more of a game than anything else. The more you exercise, new exercises open up. In other words, you start of with a limited about of stuff to do and slowly you get more and more. Don't listen to the few negative reviews you may read on the internet. They were probably biased against the product before even trying it. This product costs a little more than going to the gym for a month (at least in my country). By the time I unlock all the exercises, I will have exercised more than a 1-month gym subscription, burnt more calories, and will have a fun game left too! Compared to nothing after a month at a gym. I highly recommend this. As I explained, you are getting more than your money's worth, having fun, and getting fit.
