If you like Wii Sports you’ll love Wii Fit. It’s like a fitness DVD, minus the effervescent surgically-enhanced Z-lister. But will it prove addictive or join the exercise bike in the cupboard?

Activities are split into four categories: Yoga, Balance, Aerobic and Muscle, predominantly based around a pressure-sensitive Balance Board, which works out your BMI and weight. You might be running around a park with fellow Miis, skiing around a slalom course , heading footballs or simply holding Yogic poses, but there’s heaps of activities to do - some more successful than others.

Like Brain Training, the more you progress, the harder things get and the more activities you unlock. But it’s not just about working up a sweat; some of the trickiest things are seemingly simple balancing exercises to improve core stability.

With coaches that make Mr Motivator look evil, Wii Fit is no match for proper exercise. But put the effort in, and unless you bookend your workouts with Dunkin Donuts sessions, your fitness is bound to improve. And playing games is much more appealing than the gym.

Not only will the WiiFit do exercise-based games like push-ups, but there are other games that are fun for all ages. For example, a user can wiggle to a virtual hula hoop or play a soccer goalie who is blocking shots with his or her head. Click on the jump to see a video of its features.

In short, the WiiFit is the best way to get video game players off of the couch since the invention of WiiSports. No doubt Jane Fonda would have sponsored the WiiFit if it had been invented during the time of the Atari 2600.

If you liked what you saw on the video, and can’t wait a few more weeks to lay down the $89.99 for the WiiFit, you can preorder it from Amazon now. You might also enjoy this parody video of the WiiFit. Just watch it and have a few WiiLaughs.
