Wii Fit Plus the Wii Fit replacement

Wii Fit Plus is Nintendo's replacement for Wii Fit. Unlike the follow up version of normal games, Wii Fit Plus will replace the old Wii Fit completely. This means that Wii Fit will no longer be sold with the Wii balance board. From November onwards if you buy a Wii Fit package it will come bundled with Wii Fit Plus. New Wii balance board owners will have to head over to eBay to purchase a copy of the old Wii Fit.

Structured Exercise Routines

Wii Fit creator Shigeru Miyamoto said about Wii Fit, that he wanted people to use the software how they liked and not be locked into preset routines. This may work with some people, but for the rest of us, if we're going to get fit we need a set routine to give us something to work towards. Wii Fit Plus improves on Wii Fit in this respect as there are preset workouts for upper, middle and lower body. You can also create your own groups of custom exercise. Goal based exercises are also rumoured to be included now, so you can choose a routine based on your goals such as weight loss / calorie burning or muscle building.

Another new thing that can be found in Wii Fit Plus is a turn based system. With the old Wii Fit all you could do is sign in as yourself and perform exercises or balance tasks. If someone wanted to play along with you, a sign out was required, as each profile tunes the balance board to one persons weight. Wii Fit Plus solves this issue and it is now possible to play a turn based game with more than one profile.

Wii Fit Plus Calorie Counter

Calorie counters are a big motivator for a lot of people. They may be woefully inaccurate but the sight of calories counting up on the screen can help spur you on when you're flagging. They also make you think about what you're eating and how long it make take to burn off. It is therefore very welcome news that Wii Fit Plus will include a calorie counter.

Weigh small kids and your dog with Wii Fit Plus

Yes, it's true! As well as being able to weigh small kids, you can even weigh your pet with Wii Fit Plus. If you have kids of 3 years and older you can register them as infants and if you have a pet you want to weigh, you can register them with Wii Fit Plus too. Although they can't perform any of the exercises, you can still record their weight by standing on the balance board yourself with your infant or pet in your arms.

You can now record your waist size and exercise activities that your have done outside of Wii Fit. If you have a pedometer, you can even record the number of steps you take each day.
