Wii Fit is a video game developed by Nintendo for the Wii console.[4] It is an exercise game consisting of activities utilizing the Wii Balance Board peripheral.
The balance board measures a user's weight and center of gravity. The software can then calculate the user's body mass index when told of his or her height. The game has roughly 40 different activities,[5] including yoga poses, push ups, and other exercises. Furthermore, Wii Fit allows its players to compare their fitness by using Wii Fit's own channel on the Wii Menu.[6] The game tracks a user's "Wii Fitness Age" through a body test basing the result on the user's current age, weight, and balance. Like the rest of the Wii Series, Wii Fit integrates Miis into its presentation and gameplay.
Wii Fit was released in Japan on December 1, 2007, and in other regions in April and May 2008.[2][3][7]
