The Wii Fit Game along with the Balance Board has more than 40 fun activities you can do to test your balance, strength, and flexibility.  You should start each session out with your balance board and a body test, which helps you to measure your center of balance, Body Mass Index (BMI), body control, and your Wii fit age.  You can also monitor your weight gain or loss with the use of the balance board.

Once you’ve completed your body test, it’s time to start training.  There are four different training modes:  yoga, strength training, balance games, and aerobics.  You’ll have your own personal trainer that will help you learn the different yoga, and strength training moves.  As you progress in your training, you’ll earn new poses and progress up to more repetitions for each exercise.

Another thing that’s offered with the yoga and strength training moves is that your personal trainer will give you information on how to combine your yoga poses with your strength training moves to get a more complete work out.  I find that this gives me a more complete workout, and helps with stretching out those muscles that are involved with these exercises.

One of the aerobics exercises that my daughter and I just love doing is the Advanced Step Aerobics.  It’s really a lot of fun, and we love competing to see who can score the highest after each round.  Another one we really enjoy doing is the Hula Hoop exercises, and believe me this gives you good work out, especially as your progress up with the longer sessions. 

This is one of the Wii games that we really enjoy doing together.  This is only a one player game, but my daughter and I take turns doing our workouts.  Then sometimes we’ll do the 2-Player run together after we’ve finished our individual workouts.

Until next time:  Happy Gaming!!
