So if you’re looking for a fun and easy way to incorporate fitness into your daily routine but not sure where to start then head down to one of the events for your chance to try for yourself.

Wii Fit is an easy, simple and enjoyable way for every member of the family to incorporate exercise into their daily routine. Whether you have used a Wii before or this is your first time experiencing the console, with over 40 fun and entertaining exercises, it is designed to appeal to everyone. With a collection of fun activities and exercises in the areas of aerobics, yoga, strength and balancing, Wii Fit encourages all the family to become more physically active on a daily basis.

Wii Fit comes with the Wii Balance Board, a wireless, pressure sensitive board that is placed on the floor in front of your television and console. Used in the majority of exercises, the Wii Board registers your movement as you stand on it, with the personal trainer character on the screen mirroring your actions and giving you advice. Combining this with the Wii Remote, which you simply need to pick up and point at the television, Wii Fit is simple and straightforward for anyone to use – regardless of age or fitness level.
