The Wii fit is a fun enjoyable way to exercise and is good for either a light reliever from intense exercise or just to get you back into the swing of working out . 33 % of the exercises qualified as low intensity meaning you don ’ t have to be in top shape too work out . There is also some harder exercises on the game like the “ Press up challenge ” . The Wii fit has a range of exercises all of which can lead to better flexibility and a healthier lifestyle , some work on muscle toning , others help to achieve better balance and a few are just an overall body workout .
As I said earlier the Wii fit is available anytime , in the comfort of your own home this is beneficial for people with long day or night jobs and don ’ t feel they have the time to run down to the gym . It is also not weather permitting and I know not many people fancy running outside when it lashing down with rain . The Wii fit would allow people to still exercise even if the weather isn ’ t great . Seeing as we do live in Brittan this problem can occur quite frequently and for this purpose many people would benefit from the Wii fit .
