Wii Fit
The hit combination of Wii Sports and the Wii Remote brought golf swings and tennis serves into people’s homes. Now Nintendo turns the living room into a fitness center for the whole family with Wii Fit and the Wii Balance Board. Family members will have fun getting a “core” workout, and talking about and comparing their results and progress on a new channel on the Wii Menu. Before you jump into doing exercises and activities, you’ll start by creating your own profile. Choose a Mii, enter your height and age information, and do a few quick tests:

- BMI Check: BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that is the standard used by agencies such as the World Health Organization and the National Institute of Health. To check your BMI, you’ll enter your height then stand on the Wii Balance Board and let it read your weight.
- Wii Fit Age: After you’ve checked your BMI, you’ll do a basic balance test and find out your current Wii Fit Age. This basic balance test measures how well you can control your left and right balance. Based on the results, you’ll be assigned a Wii Fit Age.

The Family Ready Wii Video Game System

Unlike lesser Nintendo Wii video game systems that only include one remote and one game, our superior system includes two remotes, two “nunchuck” controllers, and four games, providing ample opportunity for whole-family participation. An unparalleled revolution in the video game industry, the controllers use accelerometers and gyroscopes to sense tilting, rotation, and acceleration. Signals from the controllers are sent wirelessly to a sensor bar, translating your hand’s movements into action on your TV’s screen, allowing you to swing bats, launch balls, cast reels, and shoot at targets. A “nunchuck” controller in one hand connects to a remote in your other hand, allowing you to exercise precise, nimble control over the characters you become in your preferred game. The Wii connects to the Internet for online play and for web surfing (requires home broadband Internet connection). The system comes with four games: Wii Sport, which includes five sports minigames (tennis, baseball, bowling, and more) and Wii Play, which includes nine minigames (table tennis, laser hockey, fishing, and more); two assorted additional games are included. The system is also capable of playing older GameCube discs. Console 8 1/2″ H x 2″ W x 6″ D. (1 lb.) Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.
