The Wii balance platform's applications are numerous, but it was first introduced along with the original Wii Fit exercise game. With Nintendo leading the pack when it comes to functional health oriented applications for both the mind and body, these often annoying tasks of keeping ourselves in shape mentally and physically can become a fun routine.

With the input of your height / weight / age data, and setting your goal Body Mass Index (BMI), you embark on a well planned trip to getting in shape (whether you're overweight or just want to maintain a healthy physique) - this is done by incorporating 65 game-style activities to keep things fresh. Whether you're running, cycling, doing muscle workouts, aerobics, yoga routines or balancing games, the center of gravity of the balancing board prevents you from slacking and cheating - because, you're only cheating yourself... Besides your calorie count & -goal setting, you can also incorporate the registering of your baby or pet and have them get involved!

For those who are already on the go with the first Wii Fit, you can transfer your save data and carry on without having to start from scratch.
