Overview
Description

Wii Fit Plus builds upon the foundation of the original Wii Fit by introducing an expanded suite of exercises and tracking tools designed to make working out fun and accessible at home. Players can seamlessly transition between activities using the Wii Balance Board to monitor progress and target specific fitness goals. In addition to all the classic content, the game features the Training Plus category with fifteen new balance and aerobics games, plus six additional yoga and strength-training exercises. It offers customizable workout routines and calorie tracking to help users maintain an engaging, personalized daily fitness regimen.

Wii Fit U expands the popular Wii Fit series with new exercises, activities, and integration of the Wii U GamePad. It works with the existing Wii Balance Board and lets players import data from Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus, preserving progress across generations. The package includes the Fit Meter, an activity monitor that tracks daily movement and uploads the data back into the game, providing a continuous fitness experience beyond the console.
