The Wii Fit Balance Board
The primary tenet of Wii Fit
is balance. Your center of balance, the point between your left and
right sides when you stand upright, has a lot to do with your health.
Those without an even center of balance will be unnaturally
compensating for this imbalance, which causes their posture to become
misaligned, increasing the possibility of putting unnecessary strain on
their bodies. This is where the Wii Balance Board comes in.Similar
in appearance to a step aerobics board, the Wii Balance Board is much,
much more. Easily capable of supporting weights up to a maximum of 300
pounds, it is sturdy and precise, able to measure weight and register
pressure accurately when placed on a variety of flat surfaces. This
advanced level of sensitivity allows for both the wide range of
activities found in the Wii Fit software as well as the board's amazing ability recognize individual players by their weight alone. Getting Started: Create a Profile
Before
you jump into doing exercises and activities, you'll start by creating
a profile. This is done easily and intuitively by simply choosing a
Mii, entering your height and age information, and doing a few quick
tests that will serve as a baseline for your new Wii fitness regimen.
These tests are: - BMI Check: BMI, or Body Mass Index,
is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that is the
standard used by agencies such as the World Health Organization and the
National Institute of Health. To check your BMI, you'll enter your
height then stand on the Wii Balance Board and let it read your weight.
- Wii Fit Age: After you've checked your BMI, you'll do a basic balance test and find out your current Wii Fit
Age. This basic balance test measures how well you can control your
left and right balance. Based on the results, you'll be assigned a Wii
Fit Age.
Four Categories of Fun
Once you have created your profile it's time to have some fun. Wii Fit features four main categories of exercises to choose from: Strength Training, Aerobics, Yoga and Balance Games. Wii Fit
will guide you through the first three with the help of your own
virtual personal trainer, while the balance games offer variety and fun
to help keep you engaged and excited about your fitness goals. In
addition, as you spend time exercising, you'll earn Fit Credits
that unlock additional exercises and activities within your favorite
categories that will allow you to continue to push yourself. See more

Keep Track of Your Progress

also tracks the activities you do the most and puts them into your
Favorites category. With this information players can note exercises
and activities that they are strong in, as well as others that may need
to improve at. Some of the ways players can use this information for
are to: - Keep tabs on your daily progress with
easy-to-understand graphs and charts. Using your personal profile, you
can set goals, view a graph of your BMI results over time, see how many
Fit Credits you've earned, check your Wii Fit Age and even enter exercise time you've done outside of Wii Fit.
It's all about coming back and exercising a little every day, and the
personal profile makes tracking your daily progress simple and easy.
- Quickly check your Wii Fit Age and BMI without even putting the game in the console by going directly to the Wii Fit Channel.
- Allow up to eight family members can create their own profiles in Wii Fit.
On the profile-selection screen, everyone in the family can see each
other's recent BMI progress and Fit Credit total. This will allow
families to have a friendly competition to exercise and get fit.
