Although Nintendo has launched Wii Fit to show how well the balance Board has worked as a new game controller (in the same way that Wii Sports showed off how well the Wii remote controller worked), the game Wii Fit has been enormously popular and is still number 1 on the charts games in Britain and other countries, almost 18 months after his release.
Based on success of Wii Fit, many other fitness games are now available on Wii console, including the sequel Wii Fit, called Wii Fit Plus.
The arms of fitness original 1980s and 1990s were fed by the availability of VCRs and DVD players in every home. celebrities and their trainers were ready to produce training videos and the low price of videos and DVDs made it easy for people to do these workouts at home.

Each game fitness uses a slightly different format to make the games fun, engaging and challenging and users must decide what motivates exercise when you choose a fitness video game.
Wii Fit introduced the Wii Balance Board, and most of the games on the market now incorporate the balance Board in play for at least some of the exercises.This helps people use their balancing systems if they have them, but does not prevent people from using your game if you don't own a Wii Balance Board.
My Fitness Coach is one of the leading fitness video games on the Wii and is one of the few that don't use the Balance Board or remote controller during workouts. instead, the game makes use of an avatar in the game, called Maya, which acts as your personal trainer gives you excercise. Maya tips, not your workouts with you and shouts of encouragement when you feel like you are about to collapse.This game of personal trainer works really well to create highly personalized experience.
EA Sports Active takes a different approach and makes use of the Wii remote controller nunchuck, and a band of resistance exercise during workouts.Movements with the Wii remote and nunchuck tell the game how are you doing the exercises and the band of resistance acts as weights for people who do not have any equipment to exercise at home. EA Sports Active also includes some exercises that can be done with the Wii Balance Board.
One thing that most of these fitness games have in common is the huge selection of exercises that come with every game. This allows all games mix and match exercises to give you a lot of different workouts and it prevents you from getting bored. Exercises usually include stretching, cardio, strength, upper body, lower body strength, abdomen and yoga.
Besides these general fitness games, there are few specialized games that focus on only one type of exercise program. Yoga for Wii and Daisy Fuentes Pilates are ideal for fans of yoga and Pilates wanting only these workouts and not worry about cardio or other strength exercises.

The relatively cheap price of most games and the wide variety of exercises in each game, makes it a very viable option for most people over the price of a subscription gym. This is highlighted even more when comparing the cost of a game at the cost of membership to a gym for an entire household.
Ability to work whenever you want (and in the comfort of your own home), the ability to create and store personal workouts and eating plans for each family member and the opportunity to select their personal screen training environments and music, makes Wii fitness games perfect for singles, couples and families looking to get active.
