Wii Fit Plus is Nintendo’s answer to the increasingly sedentary lifestyle we all spend, nowadays — a video game devised to increase your fitness!

Wii Fit Plus, will work with the existing Wii balance board, and is designed to give users greater control over their exercise regime.

Users can create customised workouts of varying lengths to fit their keep-fit routine around a busy lifestyle. They use the balance board to strike yoga poses, hone their strength and co-ordination, and complete aerobic challenges.

Wii Fit Plus gives users access to 15 new balance games, including juggling and skateboarding, as well as six new strength training and yoga exercises.

Users can also choose from pre-set exercise routines designed to target specific areas of the body, such as toning arms, firming stomach muscles, and even reducing stress.

If you are upgrading from the Wii Fit Plus’s predecessor, you would want to know if Nintendo has made any changes. You can motivate yourself by keeping count of your calories, using the all-new calorie burning counter, while opting for routines to suit your specific goals and spare time. Several new strength building exercises, and balance games, along with yoga routines, are all tangible improvements over this game system’s forebear. In fact, adding to the choices offered by its forebear, Wii Fit Plus has a “Training Plus” menu of 15 all-new balance and aerobics games, apart from a half dozen yoga and strength training options. The yoga routines include Spine Extension, Gate and Grounded V, while the Strength Training options are Balance Bridge, Single-Leg Extension and Side Lunge.

There is delicious irony in the fact that playing video games is probably the primary reason for your sedentary lifestyle, in the first place. The promise this video game system holds out is akin to saying, “Eat all you want, and get thin.”
Except that Wii Fit Plus actually works…
