By AJ Glasser Nintendo has been very careful to call Wii Fit a fitness "tool" not a fitness "solution" for obvious legal reasons. Neither Wii Fit nor its successor, Wii Fit Plus, will magically make you thinner or more easily able to resist tasty food.

By nataliecabaj Overall, Wii Fit Yoga is really great for yoga beginners. I’m sure it would be beneficial to join a class and have an instructor tell me what I do wrong but I feel that Wii Fit Yoga is a great substitute for yoga classes. The Wii board measures my centre of gravity with unmistakable precision and...

By healthyrache The balance games would probably appeal to people who like other video games … because they’re more oriented toward fun than fitness. My favorite is the Lotus Focus … which is essentially a candle meditation that requires you to control your movements and stay as still as possible. It is som...

By nataliecabaj My 1 hour and some minutes long workout today brought me to a total of 18 hours I have spent on Wii Fit since we bought the Wii in July, which I think is really good, considering I have been away for 3 weeks and ill for some of the time as well.

By angryjedi Those of you following me on Twitter may be familiar with my Jedi Health Kick blog.

By Kimberly McCollum I'm a big fan of the Wii.  Not only can I play (sort of) music, but I can exercise with it.  Through the Wii, I have infinitely patient instructors who never criticize, and always encourage.  With Wii Fit, I get instantaneous feedback, and a score for most exercises.  I can figure out what I did wr...
