Wii Fit Review

I'm not that into video games unless they involve me actually doing something other than pressing buttons with my thumbs. I love Rock Band because I can sing and play the drums (on a semi realistic drum kit.) And I love Wii Fit because it actually makes exercising fun. No seriously, it does!
With Wii Fit you can create a character (and you will be weighed on the "balance board") and that character will be based on your real height and weight. As you do activities your progress will be recorded.
What are the activities? Well there are many to choose from. Everything from running to yoga. There are activities aimed at burning calories and activities aimed at strengthening your body and improving your balance. Certainly you will find some activities to be more enjoyable than others but the good thing is there are many to choose from so you will surely find some that you enjoy (and which of course also improve your fitness.)
One of the cool things about buying the Wii Fit is that it comes with a "balance board" which can also be used with many other very cool Wii games that are now coming out. Most of the other Wii games that use the balance board don't actually include it. You must buy the Wii Fit in order to get this balance board. So even if for some reason this game doesn't click with you (and I think it will) you will still get a valuable piece of equipment that comes with it and can be used with other games.
Again, I'm not a huge video game fan. This is not a standard video game. It's something that can appeal to people of all ages. And it's the rare video game that isn't a waste of your time. In fact I encourage you to "play" your Wii Fit as much as you can every day! Not only will you have a good time, you will also improve your fitness.
Buy It Online. It's almost impossible to find the Wii Fit at local stores due to it's overwhelming popularity but you can find it online. Order 24/7/365.
Wii Rock Band is another great Wii game.
