Wii Fit for the Win

Well, after continuing my Wii Fit workout for the second time, and actually doing every exercise that I have unlocked. I would have to say that Wii Fit is not a replacement for going out for a jog. You won't break a sweat as easy as you would doing a real athletic activity. That said, however, you will break a sweat and get a decent feeling workout when you are on there for more than an hour playing all the aerobic games and strength training activities. 

There are 4 kinds of activities in Wii Fit; Yoga, Strength Training, Aerobic games, and balance games. There are plenty of things to unlock for each section. The game keeps track of how many minutes each event takes and records it on your daily time bank. 
I enjoy the mini games and find that some really do give you a decent workout. Such games as the Hula Hoop game and the jogging in place game, really get your muscles feeling worked and your heart racing. 
The balance games are very fun since the Wii Mat is very sensitive and pretty accurate. Although if you want an accurate weight measurement, you should probably put it on a hard floor rather than carpet. It MAY be a little off on carpet. 

All in all, this is definitely a very fun way of getting some exercise in every day. But if you are really trying to lose weight, nothing will help more than eating the right foods and getting outside for a jog or long bike ride. 

You can choose between a boy or girl trainer, and whether you want to view them doing the exercise from the back or the front... I thought that was funny...
