Wii Fit is a combination of fitness and fun, designed for everyone, young and old. By playing Wii Fit a little every day, you, your friends, and your family can work towards personal goals of better health and fitness. And lose some weight? Yes-so can one lose weight using the Wii fit- that's the million dollar question? YES DEFINITELY. As long as you use it regularly and with the proper workout - with 4 to 5 regular 45 minute workouts per week you will reach your weight loss goals and get fit and have fun doing it.
                 
But just as important is the type of workout you choose. Many people have reported the Wii Fit did not help them lose weight or get fit and there are 2 reasons for this - they didn't work out on a regular basis and when they did they used the wrong workout. So here's the way to lose weight using your new Christmas gift(and I am assuming you are routinely working out 5 times a week for a minimum of 45 minutes a week:

Rule 1:
               
The balance games are fun but do not really help so they are not part of the routine. They are only to be used as a break after completing the aerobic workout. So after completing the 10 minute advance step program you can use a balance game to catch your breath. But other than that they are not to be a part of your regular routine. Or after you have lost your five pounds for the week you can reward yourself with a 10 minute game of soccer ball goalie.

The key is to pick the exercises you like but to switch back and forth with at least half your time doing aerobics and no balance games.Or after you have lost your five pounds for the week you can reward yourself with a 10 minute game of soccer ball goalie.But people who complained about not losing weight spent too much time playing the balance games. They help your hand eye coordination but they do nothing to help you reach your weight loss goals. Avoid them or do them extras above and beyond your normal workout.

Rule 2:
                         
Do 3 Aerobic exercises every session. Whether its boxing or steps or running or hoola hoops be sure you do at least 3 aerobic programs. And go as long as the system will allow you. So once the aerobic steps allows you to complete 5 minutes instead of 3 minutes always step up to and complete the extra time. And alternate between the aerobics and the other programs. For example start with a long run then do a couple "yoga's" followed by the aerobic boxing and then maybe a strength program and then back to a step program. The key is to pick the exercises you like but to switch back and forth with at least half your time doing aerobics and no balance games.

Balance the rest of the session with yoga and strength exercises.And go as long as the system will allow you.

Following this routine I have lost 20 pounds in 7 weeks and 26 pounds in 16 weeks. Its averaged 3 pounds a week with several weeks of 5 pound weight loses. In conclusion, it works. But like any exercise it only works if the person using it is willing to put in the effort. I could have achieved the same results simply by doing sit-ups and push-ups every day, and going for a run.However I don't realistically believe that I would have had enough motivation to do that. It works because it shows me everyday how much I weigh, how much time I've invested, and how well I am doing on my exercises.

Rule 4: 
               
Workout at least every other day and at least 5 times a week but only completes the body test every other workout session. It's great to monitor your results but every day is too often.

It works because it shows me everyday how much I weigh, how much time I've invested, and how well I am doing on my exercises. It also keeps fantastic records that I can look back on and it makes charts showing my progress (or lack thereof). The balance board is nothing magical. Just by standing on it you don't get a better body. You have to put in the time. What Wii Fit tries to do is to make that time enjoyable, and for me it accomplished that goal. I did the work - it helped record it, make it fun and motivated me.
