If I really like the Wii Rayman Raving Rabbids tv party because it uses both the Wii Balance Board, the Wimote and the nunchuks, what other games can I buy like this one?
Everyone wants to buy the latest fitness gadget produced by Nintendo, so finding one available to buy isn’t always an easy task. Though you can find the shelves marked as carrying Nintendo Wii Fits easily, they’re usually empty.
Why are so many people interested in it? It’s because the adults can use it much more than kids can, and it can be a great alternative to going to the gym.
The Nintendo Wii Fit is just a bit bigger than a normal bathroom scale and it comes in the form of a wireless fitness board. The Wii Fit is connected to a Wii console, then all you need to do is to step on the Fit, and it will let you know what your body mass index is and how much you weigh. If you decide to do a few balance tests, it will also be able to tell you what your age is.
After all these details are known, you can start playing games on the Wii Fit. You can do balance exercises, yoga, cardio or muscle training. It’s just like having an instructor to help you at all times.
One example is how he teaches you to ski jump. You can lift your heels and bend your knees in order to do that. You can also do jogging or play hula hoop (should be fun at parties). Jogging is a bit different though, as it requires you to keep the Wii remote in your pocket while you run.
When you use it you will see just how fun this gadget is, and how fun yoga, muscle stretches and aerobics can be. It really makes fitness enjoyable and relaxing. Plenty of girls even enjoy playing the game together, looking at each other as they try different games.
Besides that, you can also check out how you progress daily. In order to do that, you also need to set some goals for yourself and to set up a profile. Another option is looking at the Body Mass Index and seeing if you have accumulated fit credits.
Because there are up to 8 profiles stored, the Wii Fit can be used by the entire family. For example, you could have a competition among yourselves to see which one wins certain games.
Some of the latest news is that Carmen Electra and the Peekaboo company are working on launching a pole dancing kit for the Wii. If you want to learn how to pole dance, than that might be of help.
Even though it’s only in the concept stages right now, it will probably be released in the future as a Wii gadget, together with a video game.

After 2 weeks of using Wii Fit I ended up gaining two pounds, but since muscle weighs more than fat I am not surprised. Now that I tested how effective they are lets look at the different exercises the game offers.

The games are broken up into four different categories, Yoga, strength training, aerobics and balance. The game lets you choose between a male or female trainer. It gives you a time bank which keeps track of how long you have been excising.
Let’s start with Yoga, this section has the most exercises. Unfortunately when you start most of the exercises are locked. You get started with some strange exercises that girls like to do, so I thought it would be super easy but girl was I wrong. Yoga also has the most exercises that did not use the balance board, which I thought was real strange since the balance board is the main reason we have this game. I preferred to use Yoga as a warm up or warm down exercise.
Strength training is the hardest of all exercises and it should be. There are all the exercises you should doing in a normal workout. Instead of unlocking more exercises towards the end you unlock challenges against the personal trainer. These exercises also have so some that did not use the balance board but instead used the Wii remote. The game reads the remote accurately but will miss one of my moves once in a while. They even offer the choice to up your weight using a water bottle for your sets, but it is a little hard to hold.
Aerobic games are the ones I tended to do most often, they have four different kinds of games. Hula hoops may look simple but it may tire you out fast. Step aerobics which you have to step on the balance board in rhythm to the music an instructions the tv. Boxing is more like step aerobics, boxing and stepping according to the music. It is boring and takes too long. My favorite of the whole game is running. You put the remote in your pocket and you start running in place, it is just that simple. As you play more you can unlock longer tracks, a second player option and my favorite a free run.
Then there is the balance games, soccer heading, ski slalom, ski jump, table tilt, tight rope, balance bubble, penguin slide, snow boarding and zazen. I particularly like ski jumping and you can play over again. Unlike Zazen which is game you sit still for minutes at a time looking at a candle. No I am not kidding, that is the whole game.
There is a fifth option which is called favorites, which looks at which games you play the most and puts them one page so that you can access them easily. It would have been great if we could this screen to set up our own workouts and go to the next one on the list after you have completed exercises. That is my biggest complain about this game it forgets that you want to use as an exercise program and not just a game. When you finish an exercise it gives you two options, quit or retry.
Retry, I just finished that exercise why would I want to do it again? How about an option to move on to the next exercise. Because of this huge oversight your 30 minute workouts would not have taken twice as long you have to continuously quit, select new exercises, waiting for the board to recalibrate then you can do the exercise. It was just a big hassle. There are suggestions once in a while on which exercises you should do next but that should be available after every exercise. I had no idea what exercises I should be doing, so I ended up just picking them randomly and hoping I was getting a balanced workout.

Now that EA’s Wii Active is out in the market, a few of its users had questions about the use of the new product. EA set out to answer them as clearly as possible.
What controls are needed to use EA SPORTS Active? Basically, you just need two of them, namely the Wii remote and nunchuk. The nunchuk has to be plugged in to the Wii Remote throughout the exercise program. You can also use the Wii balance board for some exercises. But for EA Sports Active, this is not a necessity.
How are the remote and nunchuk used? Depending on the exercise, these two accessories will have a variety of uses. Not to worry because a trainer and video instruction are available for each program. Generally, you will be asked to hold the Wii remote on your right hand. The nunchuk will either be placed on your left hand or on the leg strap, depending on the kind of exercise you choose.
How do the controls respond to the movements? The secret to this is to always try to follow the trainer and mimic his movements. If you have difficulty doing this, again it is advised that you watch the video instructions before you exercise. This will provide you with tips on how to move correctly. Once you’ve started, listen to the trainer carefully and follow the text on the screen. When you need to put the nunchuk on the leg strap, insert it properly, pointing down with the control stick facing to the right.

The huge success of the Nintendo Wii has introduced an audience to games that would never have considered picking up a controller a few years ago. Wii Games Secrets Click here This can be attributed to the Wii’s unique control interface which allows users to control on screen movement with a wireless remote or more recently Wii Fit, which allows players to participate in several games using a board that they stand on that detects their movements.
An unexpected benefit of this sea change is the positive impact this is having on the disabled and seniors. The controls allow players to take part in activities that they are no longer able to perform comfortably in public. For example, a multiple sclerosis patient recently wrote that she is able to use the Wii to have bowling tournaments with friends and family. Due to her condition she has not been able to bowl for years but the Wii let’s her once again participate in one of her favorite activities. She also feels that the increased activity helped her pass her first balance test during a recent doctor visit.

Again, bowling appears to be the biggest hit with most nursing home residents.
The Wii is also being used in treating patients recovering from stroke, broken bones, combat injuries and surgery. The different Wii games require body movements similar to traditional therapy exercises.
