Wii Fit Plus
By
We got Wii Fit Plus recently as part of this new health regime that I have started for 2010. It has a number of new features that I was quite impressed by.
First of all you’ve got a few additional new activities that you can do. Some of these are quite fun as well as giving you quite a vigorous workout.
My favourite was the one I referred to as the “Chicken Flapping”. This is where you flap your arms up and down to make your little avatar fly across to various points in as quick a time as possible. It certainly made me chuckle a fair bit as I was standing in my boxers flapping my arms around.
My least favourite was the obstacle course one, which requires running and “jumping” on the Wii board. However if you accidentally get over excited and actually jump on the board it tells you off, then unceremoniously puts you all the way back to the start. This is most annoying indeed.
Another activity that I found to be quite good fun was the skate boarding exercise. It took me a bit of getting used to, but the jumps, half-pipes and other stunts are excellent fun.
There are some fun features of the “Plus” elements, as it now estimates calories used, as well as giving you the time spent doing the activities. I also like the fact you can create customised workouts consisting of Muscle Building and/or Yoga exercises.
If you already had Wii Fit like I did, then don’t worry, it imports all your old Wii Fit data into Wii Fit plus. You don’t even need to worry about swapping discs as all your old favourite exercises like hula hoop, and step plus are right there in Wii Fit plus.
I think Wii Fit Plus is great, and my kids always want to play it, so it ensure that they get a bit of exercise and acitivity.
