WiiFitPlusNot necessarily a sequel to Nintendo’s hit Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus is more of an expansion and a tweaking to the original.

A big issue with the original Wii Fit (complete with pressure sensitive balance board) was that if one was doing a workout regeim, they couldn’t do two very important things when working out. 1) fitness gamers were unable to focus on speicific parts of the body (as they could in real world gyms), and 2) the process was so slow between sets and changes of workouts that the sweat gamers built up would die down in between exercises.

Luckily with Wii Fit Plus, these two major issues have been corrected, and in style! Gamers can now create their own customized workout routines according to their own unique schedules, preferences, and fitness goals.

Not only does Wii Fit Plus have all the original aerobic, yoga, strength training, and balance activities, but it also has over 20 new activities to increase the fun including skateboarding, platforming (Mario style) and even a Segway course! An estimated calorie burning calculator rounds out the new features in Wii Fit Plus giving all those gamers who are looking to get a little more active no excuse to stay on the couch.
That’s not all! Now for the first time, you can create a Mii for your pet by weighing them and creating custom Mii’s for them… that’s not to say your pet can exercise to Wii Fit Plus, but at least they won’t be left out of the family tracking lobby! Best of all, if you already own the balance board from the original Wii Fit, you can pick up this title for about $25!!! ($100 if you need the board as well).

Know what? this article is over, I’m heading out to pick this title up right now!
