How to Beat and or Cheat at Wii Fit

Popular game, Nintendo Wii Fit, offers up a delicious challenge to notorious couch sitters. Instead of engaging your finger tips while sitting comfortably or sprawling across the couch, the still-difficult-to-find-in-stores Wii Fit forces players to move a little more than your average video game.

Such games include interactive skiing, tennis, yoga, and other various aerobic activities; however, how effective are these exercises? Like any exercise, the difference depends on how hard you work to make it happen. No work = no results. Thus, a catch: Wii Fit is still a game, and games can be broken.

Unlike traditional exercise or aerobics, in a ‘real’ gym, with a ‘real’ personal trainer, Wii permits playtime and or a “workout” in the comfort of your own home. You either win or lose according to your trainer feedback or how well you serve a volleyball. So in this sense - like any game - there are ways to cheat.

Various little trick tactics, advances, and shortcuts can speed up your workout program or weight loss goal. Some Wii swindler methods include making your Mii taller, enter heavy clothing, sway to exaggerate jogging, ski from the sofa, or team up with a sibling to pound out the power board as if to run really fast (a call back to World Class Track Meet). Although fooling Wii Fit may seem extremely easy and rather tempting in order to reach the next level, you are only fooling yourself.

The only way you can truly win at Wii Fit is to put in the effort to meet your fitness goals with zero tricks, advances, and shortcuts attached. Because if Wii Fit is indeed your primary exercise source and your goal is to either lose weight in the belly, increase your energy level, or lower your body fat; go hard or go home. Without any accurate Mii information, lack of engagement, and sweat, you might as well park yourself back on the couch to twiddle your sticky, crumb-ridden thumbs.
