Wii Fit U w/Wii Balance Board accessory and Fit Meter - Wii U

This game is a fantastic way for out-of-shape people to get into the habit of exercising. I especially love the "My Routine" feature. It allows you to set up your own list of activities so you don't have to pick them out individually every time like you did in the first Wii Fit.You can put your pets' info in it and then they'll stand next to you and show up during some exercises. It's cute. It does cats, dogs, and babies (which are also, pets, right? lol), but I have no dogs or babies to put in the game.The entire dance section of exercises is really fun, and gets you moving pretty well. It involves stepping on and off the balance board (or just stepping in place), and also using your hands with two Wii Motion Plus remotes. I highly recommend it. Hula hooping in the aerobics section also works pretty well for burning calories if you get into it.Pretty much all of the yoga is really difficult for out-of-shape people. The strength section is fairly self-explanatory.Most of the balance games aren't really much exercise at all, but they do legitimately help out your balance. My husband previously had REALLY bad balance. He couldn't even stand on one leg. Now that he's been playing Wii Fit U every day for about a week, he's able to do all the easier one-leg exercises with no problem.Even if I ever graduate on to more intense, normal-people exercise (I plan on real life hula hooping whenever I can actually keep the hoop up), Wii Fit U is a great way to track your weight/BMI. You can also input your waist measurement to track that too. I think it would still be a fun way to warm up for non-digital exercise too.I know I'll be enjoying the benefits of this game for years to come. Even if I don't keep using it for exercise that long, it takes credit for getting me into the habit of exercising at all. And I think I'll be enjoying the benefits of a fitter husband too. ;)

Wii Fit U completely knocks Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus into oblivion. It literally lives up to its name. It puts you, and I mean you, front and center. It has all the cool stuff from its predecessors mixed with some cool additives. Let me explain what I mean.Both Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus had the Body Test that measured your weight, Center Of Balance and Body Mass Index. Wii Fit U has the Body Test too, with a few added special things. First and foremost is the Gamepad. You can virtually use Wii Fit U with the gamepad without a television. When it comes to the Body Test, Wii Fit U adds you personally into the mix. Using the Gamepad camera, you are able to take a selfie of yourself. Not only do you have the statistics, you also have your own personal images.The Wii Fit balance board included with this package is the same as it always has been. The other cool thing is the Wii U Fit Meter. This meter not only interacts with Wii Fit U. As you wear it throughout the day, it measures a myriad of things. Steps taken and calories burned are just two of them. When climbing stairs, the meter measures your altitude. After each day is through, come on back to Wii Fit U and transfer your data from the meter to Wii Fit U via the infrared sensor on the gamepad. If you need a way to do a quick Body Test and data transfer, install the Wii Fit U Quick Check on your Wii U. I consulted Nintendo myself regarding this. The Wii Fit U Meter can store up to twenty-eight days of data. In other words, you can use the Wii Fit U Meter for four weeks before you would need to transfer your data.If you want a great way to lose weight and have fun doing it, Wii Fit U awaits you!

First off: NO exercise routine or lifestyle will WORK if you eat bad. Like all other fitness programs or activities, don't expect to lose weight by doing this then eating a McBurger supersized "meal" right after lol. Also, use all health resources to your advantage with fitness. Basically, research and find out what is best for your individual lifestyle and body. :)I never had the first two "games" in the series but I decided to get Wii Fit U. I hate going to public gyms plus I am trying to save money. I also don't like jogging (not yet anyway), which would be absolutely free lol. So as you can see, I was in a dilemma of sorts. I decided to give this a try. And I love it! I tried this for the first time yesterday for one hour and I really feel the burn, even today! There is something for every fit level in this game. Maintaining weight, gaining better balance, toning, strength, man it's amazing! The game tracks your weight and calories burned and the Fit Meter to use outside the game is a great little addition to keeping your steps and calories lost outside the game. Not only can you and your family/friends have a profile (that can be password protected for each which is nice) but your pet cat or dog too! The trainers are great and speak clearly and in enough time for you to respond to the command. I HIGHLY recommend this for kids and older adults because it's for every fitness level as well as fun! The sled game is INTENSE but fun! It's basically like six inch leg lifts but you are bomb sledding down a track and you have to shift weight to either side to turn...but keep that balance and legs up! The free run courses are cool because you run in place or around the house if you want, a treadmill even. And I also like the boxing. Oh and I believe all the games and exercises can be played on the game pad to free up the TV.
