Let’s get this out of the way: Wii Fit does work. Why wouldn’t it? It’s based on time-trued exercises. Stuff like doing sit-ups, push-ups and jogging. Well, jogging in place. But, to what extend does it work? For the past month, I’ve used Wii Fit on nearly a daily basis. Wii Fit isn’t something you can review in 8 hours of play. You need weeks, months even! My Wii Fit workout was interrupted by two breaks: One for when my wife was sick (and I then got sick) and another when my wife was sick again (Nintendo, please make Wii Healthy, kthanxbai). Like with most things, results do vary from person to person. For me, some of it worked brilliantly. And some of it not.

"…when I started regularly going to the swimming hall, my weight dropped quite a bit, and it felt like my overall fitness had increased as well. I started thinking that getting fit could actually be fun."
—Shigeru Miyamoto

Wii Fit will help you work up a sweat, but it’s not as smooth and fun a workout as you’d probably like.
