The Wii Fit Plus was put on the market in 2009 as an updated version of the original Wii Fit which made an appearance in 2008. It was pretty hard not running right out and buying one as soon as they hit the shelves. After all I was getting sucked in with all the hype from other bloggers and the media.
The Wii Fit Plus gave me a reason to get back into exercising. It doesn’t even seem like exercise because it’s fun and there are so many different activities to choose from providing a big enough variety that I don’t find myself bored.
Here’s a list of some of my favorite activities you’ll find in the Wii Fit Plus aerobics category:
- Hula Hoop
- Rhythm boxing
- Free Step
- Basic Run
That’s just a few of the activities found under the aerobics category and doesn’t even include the other three categories yoga, balance and strength training. I tend to do mostly the games found under the aerobics category because those are the ones that give me the best workout and help to burn the most calories.
The fact that I can have fun exercising is a huge plus. But the other thing I love about the Wii Fit Plus is that it weighs me and tracks my information for me. I can even set up a goal of how much weight I want to lose every couple of weeks.
A couple other cool features are the fact that I get to customize my own workout routines and can save it for future use. It also allows me to track my steps for the day and set up a goal of how many calories I want to burn.
There are lots of other features I like but I want to spend a few minutes talking about a few things I don’t like about it. The first thing I’ve noticed is that the balance board sometimes doesn’t register my movement. For example when I’m doing the free step it takes a few minutes to catch up and count my steps. Not a huge deal but definitely annoying.
The other thing I don’t like has to do with the step aerobics portion of the game. When I want to increase my intensity I want to step a lot faster than the game allows. Again this isn’t a huge thing but it too is annoying. They should give you the option to speed it up (they do give this option but it doesn’t speed up much) to a faster pace than they allow.
So over all I give Wii Fit Plus a 10 out of 10 and recommend it especially if you’re just getting started in an exercise program and want something easy, convenient and fun! You can order Wii Fit plus from Amazon.
