The active-play phenomenon started by Wii Sports now spreads to
your whole body thanks to Wii Fit and the pressure-sensitive Wii
Balance Board, which comes bundled with it. Used together players
will experience an extensive array of fun, dynamic and
surprisingly challenging activities, including aerobics, yoga,
muscle stretches and balance oriented games. The focus of these
activities is towards providing a "core" workout, a popular
exercise method that emphasizes slower, controlled motions, but
it's the fun approach to fitness of Wii Fit that will keep
players hooked on fitness for years to come.
The Wii Fit Balance Board
The primary tenet of Wii Fit is balance. Your center of balance,
the point between your left and right sides when you stand
upright, has a lot to do with your . Those without an even
center of balance will be unnaturally compensating for this
imbalance, which causes their posture to become misaligned,
increasing the possibility of putting unnecessary strain on their
bodies. This is where the Wii Balance Board comes in.
Similar in appearance to a step aerobics board, the Wii Balance
Board is much, much more. Easily capable of supporting weights up
to a maximum of 300 pounds, it is sturdy and precise, able to
measure weight and register pressure accurately when placed on a
variety of flat surfaces. This advanced level of sensitivity
allows for both the wide range of activities found in the Wii Fit
software as well as the board's amazing ability recognize
individual players by their weight alone.

weight that is the standard used by agencies such as the World
Organization and the National Institute of . To
check your BMI, youll enter your height then stand on the Wii
Balance Board and let it read your weight.
* Wii Fit Age: After youve checked your BMI, youll do a basic
balance test and find out your current Wii Fit Age. This basic
balance test measures how well you can control your left and
right balance. Based on the results, youll be assigned a Wii Fit
Age.
