Toy Tuesday: Wii Fit

The Wii Fit has been around for a while now, so you may be wondering why I’m just writing about it now…well, there are a few good reasons.  1.  It first came out in 2007 when this site was yet to be born.  2.  I don’t advise on what is merely popular, but what makes a good gift.  3.  I hadn’t tried it yet!

Add to these three things that long hours sitting and blogging have added a little padding around my middle and well..I thought it was high time to both write about the Wii Fit, and start using it (huge thanks to my boyfriend for letting me borrow his system!!!).

The Wii Fit is like a having a fitness instructor and a toy all rolled into one.  It is a solid, if more expensive, gift for a variety of people.  More than just a game, it incorporates yoga, strength training, aerobics, balance games and even some motivation by way of encouraging you to “play” each day and tracking your progress with various graphs.

Even a really fit person is going to have fun with this, as evidenced by the group of people I had playing with…um, I mean testing it.

The balance games can be quite a challenge and, I speak from experience, it feels pretty good when you go from getting bopped in the head with pandas to suddenly getting your teammates to do a little dance around you after a successful soccer practice.

The Wii Fit is a great gift in and of itself but there are great accessory gifts for the Wii Fit if you want to give a gift to someone who already has it! Check out some of the many accessories below. Note – hover above or click an image below to see more info!
