I wasn’t one of the first to have the Wii Fit, my local woolies wouldn’t allow me to reserve one, but thanks to my persistence I managed to find one in Argos!
Well what can I say for me excersise usually consists of the walk to the train station on my way to work in the morning but now thanks to the Wii Fit I play without realising that I’m actually excerising.
My first try it conducts a body test which measures your BMI center of gravity and gives you a Wii Fit age, I found out I lean to much to the right, I have an ideal BMI but I am actually 48! Exactly that’s like 23 years older than I really am!!!
So in order to change that I played many of the games, in true Nintendo style it has many of the games locked so the more you work out the more games you get to unlock, the competition between family and friends actually drives me to do more although I can see that it could have the opposite affect. For me the hula hoop game gets me back to my youth and the skiing is also fun, however the jogging on the spot can get slightly tedious but after all this a week later my Wii fit age is down to 21… I done it, I actually made myself younger!

Competition between the family may bring you together the games don’t make you feel like you have done an hour in the gym but you do feel it after a while
Con’s
The Wii fit age can jump dramatically and it sometimes asks inappropriate questions but just remember it is only a computer you don’t have to take it personally
If you don’t use it, it will just be a piece of genius merchinary that you have spent £70 that sits under you television
RRP £69
Personally I recommend you use it but sometimes it is difficult to find time to have a go but it is enjoyable when you do!
