A Honest Review Of The Nintendo Wii Fit Bundle

Just about a few days ago, I made the hard decision of buying the Nintendo Wii Fit Bundle. Ok I admit it, it's not really that hard because it's a very good deal. When the package arrived, I couldn't contain my excitement. After all, the Wii Fit is the latest groundbreaking workout equipment out there today!

What's In The Nintendo Wii Fit Bundle

As I unravel my Nintendo Wii Fit package carefully, I realized that there are many items included. There's the Nintendo Wii game console (other than just the bundle itself), the Balance Board and a series of accessories such as the console stand, remote for the games console, nunchuck, AV adapter & cables. Complementary with the balance board is a disc of software which contains activities or exercises such as the yoga, body balance, muscle building and aerobic routines. My Wii game console was also accompanied with 5 Wii Sports games for Bowling, Tennis, Baseball, Boxing and Golf.

Now, you'll need the Wii game console before you can capitalize on the Wii Fit system. When I was first planning my purchase, I realized that there were many packages selling at much reduced prices all over the cyberspace. But caveat emptor, most of them don't come with the Wii game console! You're just buying the bundle. In the end, you may land up poorer than if you've just paid for them together in a package! If you don't have the Wii game console, the more economical choice will be to go for the full system as sellers tend to package the bundle with it at a more irresistible price.

My Personal Experience On the Wii Fit

After I assembled the Wii Fit system, I started working out on it with a heart rate monitor strapped on my wrist. I spent quite a while getting used to the menu navigation though frankly, they're pretty user friendly. It may take some time off the workout time but I'm sure that can be reduced once I get more acquainted with the system.

Some of the activities didn't gave me as good a workout as I expected. The soccer heading game was a letdown and didn't even increase my heart rate above the minimum. And when I compared my results across activities such as the Yoga, Strength Training, Aerobic and Balance, the aerobic section was outstanding.

My favourite by far was the Hula Hoop game. As I tried to balance myself, keeping all the hoops in the air while grabbing some more, my heart beat was raised to 172bpm. Not only was it a good exercise, it was pretty interesting and enjoyable too.

In case you're wondering if the Nintendo Wii Fit is a good way to slim down. Personally I don't think the Wii Fit can really help to reduce much weight given the calories of fat such activities actually burned. Maybe a pound or two a week. But I'm sure they'll be quite good in another area of your life.

Life-style and play.
