To compete with EA Sport Active is Wii Fit the original fitness workout game design for the Wii console and has also released an expansion package called Wii Fit Plus to increase the amount of workout options and more mini games and is a software only game but is great for someone who already uses Wii Fit.

Wii Fit uses the balance board to allow players to focus on toning up and relaxing through Yoga and other basic gym exercises to help increase your core fitness. The workout’s are not really meant to make you go for the burn but if used regularly would definitely improve your general fitness and well being along-side a sensible diet. The exercise on Wii Fit will increase as you use it more and although it might feel quite simplistic in the movements they can still make you sore the next day.

Punchout for the Wii can also get the heart pumping and the sweat going although it is not strictly marketed as an exercise game so is perfect for getting someone you know to move more and do a little exercise without them realising it! This is perfect for family amusement as well as for individuals who like getting some of their stresses out by pretending to hit someone.
