Nintendo Wii Fit - Review Part 2

We have already discussed wii fits balance games, in a word, awesome. Now we'll move onto Yoga, Aerobics, and Strength training, ready?

YOGA:

It's funny, the testers had a choice of several postures. Most of the guys chose the more macho "warrior pose," while the gals tended to choose the "half moon" or "tree" pose.

The Nintendo wii fit yoga segment had nice visual effects. Your indicator for doing a yoga pose correctly was keeping a red dot within a yellow colored rectangle on the screen. The red dot represented your "center". However, testers could keep the dot centered in the yellow rectangle even while doing the yoga pose in the wrong way.

Correctly practicing yoga requires a trained instructor to guide newbies through the proper techniques. For an experienced individual, the Wii could provide a different way to practice. For beginners, my advice - seek professional Inst. first if your serious about yoga.

AEROBICS:

Only two of the four aerobic games available at basic play level, hula-hoop and basic step, were used by testers. Why? We wanted to keep the wii fit Balance Board active in the process; two other activities involved jogging in place- off the board, and were not used. In basic step, you step on and off the board to a musical rhythm, trying to keep up with your onscreen class. In hula-hoop, you swivel your hips as fast as you can while reaching out to catch additional hoops thrown to you from the sides.

Testers found the activities fun & entertaining. Aerobically it wasn't too much of a challenge. The hula-hoop segment was more of a work out than basic step. Half the females who did the hula-hoop stated they got some muscular workout.

STRENGTH:

Testers could choose among torso twists, single leg extensions, lunges, and push-ups. The push-ups are done with your hands placed on the wii fit Board. Testers found the strength activities challenging in both strength and balance, with just about everyone rating the "exercises" enjoyable. It is possible to get a workout; it all depends on your current level of fitness.

CONCLUSION:

The nintendo Wii Fit provides entertainment, that's a no-brainer. But will enhance your fitness, again, yes - no question about it when it's played daily.
