Weight Fitness Equipment – Wii Fit: A Fun and Effective Daily Wokout

February 18th, 2010 at 06:59pm Under Fitness Equipment

When talking about weight fitness equipment, no conversation is complete without including my favorite, Nintendo’s Wii Fit.

It stands head and shoulders above every piece of exercise equipment I have ever owned and is a ton of fun too.

Although I am a second degree black belt in GoJu Karate and exercise regularly, I can’t stand going to the gym.  I really hate lifting a heavy piece of metal  over and over or running on a treadmill.  It’s all very boring to me.

Enter the Wii Fit by Nintendo. I LOVE THIS THING!  It’s far more than just a toy or game, the Wii Fit actually delivers a very good workout.

You are able to choose from Strength Training, Yoga,  Balance, or Aerobics with many exercises for each category.  As you get better, you unlock more exercises and more reps. It keeps you entertained too. I find myself looking forward to each workout and always trying to beat my last score and get the number one spot.

The Hula Hoop workout is my wife Tiffany’s favorite while I enjoy the Island run. When doing the cardio workouts, you actually get a good sweat going.

The strength training will  get you sore if you are not used to exercising. It will definitely provide a challenge when the advanced reps are unlocked.

The yoga program is very good too. You’ll find yourself more flexible and toned with daily use. Your breathing will also be much deeper and rhythmic.

I don’t go a day without using this piece of weight fitness equipment.  It also incorporates  male and female  virtual trainers to help you, an accurate scale and a true fitness log.

You can even create your own avatars, called miis, to represent you. they show up on many of the exercises and balance games.

Set a goal to loose a certain amount of weight and the Wii Fit  will track your  progress and give feedback.

Bottom line is that if you want a way to exercise that you will continue to come back to and that is actually fun, check out the Wii  Fit.

This is one peice of weight fitness equipment that will not be collecting dust in a corner of your room.
