Nintendo Wii Fit - Fad Or Fiction?

It's hard to get hold of, it's sells at a premium and it is a big hit for families. The Nintendo Wii Fit with the Wii balance board has become a big hit in households across the country and demand for the balance board and software has consistently outstripped supply. Nintendo Wii Fit is sold out in many stores and online retailers, and even the second-hand price has rocketed to more than it can be bought new.

So, what has the Nintendo Wii Fit got that projected it to be the must have Nintendo accessory and game? It may be a bit of a lightweight when it comes to gameplay, but it ticks all the boxes that attract new adopters, families and women to console gaming. With its ease of use, it doesn't require hours of reading a manual to understand how the game works, you just plug it in and get moving. It is inclusive and brings the family together, up to eight players, to play and laugh, but still allows you to work out by yourself and loosen up those muscles in a fun and engaging way.

The supplied software comes with a set of fitness exercises and mini games to help you get the best out of it, so you can choose between a good work out or just a bit of fun that will still loosen you up. Nintendo Wii Fit starts off with Muscle Workouts that has fifteen different ways to workout. Tone up your body, or relax with yoga poses, or even use your Nintendo Wii Fit to correct your posture with undemanding yoga poses.

Nintendo's Wii Fit balance games are the ideal way to get the entire family involved. Using the Wii Fit balance board you can take part in loads of fun games like skiing, tilt games, snowboarding or even learn to walks a virtual tightrope!

The Wii Fit's aerobic function lets you complete a series of healthy and gentle exercises to get that heart pumping a bit. Anything from step aerobics to a jogging action will keep you toned up and if you are feeling particularly adventurous, try a bit of boxcercise for some pain free boxing!

Besides all the family fun, the Nintendo Wii Fit offers you a chance to discreetly keep track of your own progress. Your body mass index (BMI) is charted over time so you can see your progress, or even lack of progress, as the Nintendo Wii Fit takes account of any exercise you do away from the Wii balance board, letting you chart your exercise regime on a in-game calendar. Over time your improvement is displayed on a personal chart, giving you the confidence and encouragement to get even fitter.

With some commentators saying that the Nintendo Wii Fit is just a passing fad, well isn't everything? But for the foreseeable future the Nintendo Wii Fit will sell and sell as families learn to play together again. So whether it's a party, a family playing together, the children enjoying clean fun play or a personal goal to make that body fitter and suppler, the Wii Fit will be a sell out console game this Christmas. So, to make sure it is in your Christmas stocking this December reserve your Nintendo Wii Fit as soon as you can.
