What is Wii Fit?

Wii Fit is a combination of fitness and fun. By using Wii Fit a little every day, you, your friends, and your family can work toward personal goals of better health and fitness.

Do a Body Test Daily with the Wii Balance Board

Wii Fit offers a body test every day. In this test, you use the Wii Balance Board accessory to measure your center of balance, Body Mass Index (BMI), and body control. Based on these results, you can also determine your Wii Fit Age. Much like Brain Age, you can chart your daily progress and compare it against previous results, as well as other friends and family who play Wii Fit.

All About Balance

Your center of balance, the point between your left and right sides when you are standing upright, has a lot to do with your health. 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. Wii Fit can help you learn more about your balance, and give you tips on how to improve it.

Four Training Modes

  • Balance Games
  • Aerobics
  • Yoga
  • Strength Training

Wii Fit features four main categories to choose from: Strength Training, Aerobics, Yoga, and Balance Games. From those groups there are over 40 exercises and activities designed to help improve body balance and fitness. Check back later on WiiFit.com as we get closer to the May 19th launch, for more information on all the exercises that Wii Fit has to offer.

Keep Tabs on Your Fitness with the Wii Fit Channel

With Wii Fit, you can install a channel in the Wii Menu so that you can perform a Body Test and view your graph without having to insert the Wii Fit Game Disc everytime. For example, if you happen to have the Super Mario Galaxy Game Disc in the Wii console, you can still check your weight via the Wii Fit Channel without switching games.
