About Wii Fit
Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus is a game with the Nintendo Wii that allows you to get fit and measure fitness levels on your TV. The game WiiFit helps with balance and strengthening and allows you to play fitness games that get you moving without really feeling like exercise. This game can be fun for all ages and is something people can do in lieu of going to the gym or in tandem with working out.
When Wii fit is in shortage, here are some suggestions for finding it:
Places to Get Wii Fit Plus
- Some video game stores, such as EB Games or GameSpot carry used games. They may have paid someone to trade their Wii Fit board in. You can often find games that work with it, such as EA Sports Active or Wii Fit Plus games that can be bought for a discount without a Fit Board. These stores also carry accessories such as Fit Board skins and carrying cases.
- Amazon lists options for new and for used Wii Fit boards.
- eBay lists new and almost new auctions for Wii Fit
- Kijiji is an eBay sister site that may be in your local area that has listings for the game and / or the board. Tip: You could also list a wanted ad to help you find someone selling their Wii Fit Board in their area.
Alternatives to Wii Fit
As an alternative, EA Sports Active is readily available, has great reviews, and encompasses some of the things that people complain about Wii Fit about, such as cardio work. EA Sports Active works with or without the Wii Fit board so you can buy the game now to use while you wait for better availability of the Wii Fit Board in your area and then your game can continue to be used after you have your board.

How much weight have you lost playing Wii Fit or other with other exergames?Loading...
I bought my Wii Fit Plus board (comes with the Wii Fit Plus software) at Costco for $98.99. Costco in Newmarket, Ontario had stock on March 18, 2010. (Future Shop in Newmarket did not)
I bought a neon pink Wii fit board skin for $14.99 at Future Shop.
The board comes with batteries and was easy to set up. I feel really 'off' balance when it tells me I'm balanced. Hopefully it's not the board --- it's probably just me.
:)
Betherann,
Time will tell as I just got my fit board but I'm also looking forward to adding the board to the Sports Active to see what it does for the intensity levels. I'm on day 7 of the 30 day challenge on the EA Sports Active at medium level and then plan to do the hard level and then buy the "more workouts" game.
I've only dabbled with the FitPlus for a bit (mostly games but not tried strengthening or yoga yet) but it seems fun so far and so I'm thinking of doing my 20 minute workout on EA Sports Active and at least 20 minutes on the Fit Plus and do more on Fit Plus on rest days from the workout.
What are your favourite Wii Fit Plus games?
After just a few days of doing this, I like the Hula Hoop, the Island Cycling, and the bump game where you add up numbers. The Rhythm Kung Fu is fun and so is the Step dancing (although I'm not advanced enough for the Advanced version)
I think the Hula Hoop is also hilarious and it really tires you out! Great for the tummy muscles!

I actually prefer EA Sports Active to Wii Fit. I feel it delivers a far more intense workout. Have you tried other fitness titles for the Wii?
