The Nintendo Wii Fit Balance Board - Information to Get You Going

Wii Fit balance board is split into four quadrants, the thought process being that maintaining your balance means you're doing the movements correctly. A must have if you're considering playing Snowboarding or Skiing games.

The Balance Board has a weight limit of 136kg so if you want to use it and your already over that weight you'll have to start loosing weight right now. Once you're down to the weight limit and you start using the board, the weight will drop off you even more and you'll be as fit as a butchers dog.

To use it the user stands on the board and controls the on-screen action with their own movements.

This certainly is a clever device. It is pressure sensitive and detects shifts in balance in any direction so during play the balance board becomes a Snowboard, Ski's or a Tightrope. The middle seven poses are a little more intense, and all require the use of the Board in some fashion.

The strength exercises set a pressure range that you must match, and the aerobics use the Board (and the Wii-mote for jogging) to calculate your score. There are even Snowboarding and Skiiing exercise games involving Slalom Courses, amongst many other activities that are, incidentally aimed at the casual games market. You can use the Wii Balance Board for daily Wii Fit tests which are offered by the actual console to evaluate two key measures that everyone can track via progress charts.

The Wii Fit Balance Board is the latest phenomenon to hit the internet and it has again put the Wii games console at the top of the pile. Nintendo has said it has at least ten games in development that support the board and not just fitness games either. So who knows what's next eh?
