A fitness trainer has had a go at Wii Fit. His conclusion?
Ultimately “Wii Fit” is not the all-encompassing fitness package that people might think it is. “Fitness isn’t just about these things in the game, but it’s about proper lifestyle, proper diet, stretching,” he said. “I don’t think I would recommend this as someone’s sole way of getting fit, but I think that this is definitely a way to pique people’s interest — getting people to transition from sitting on the couch to being interested in exercise. That being said, I think that ‘Wii Fit’ is a great way to start exercising without the pressure of a gym or class setting; people just need to make sure that they are doing things correctly and safely.”

I'm still on the fence about the thing and this hasn't helped. Maybe I'll just use things I already own like my bike. Once more around the park!
