From Nintendo: "Lean to block soccer balls, swivel hips to power hoop twirls or balance to hold the perfect yoga pose. As users stand on the Wii Balance Board, included with Wii Fitness, their body’s overall balance is tied to the game in a way they’ve never experienced before."

Features in Wii Fit include:

• Wii Fitness uses the Wii Balance Board for daily tests. These evaluate two key measures that a household can track via progress charts:
- Body Mass Index (BMI): A weight evaluation based on a ratio of weight to height.
- Wii Fitness Age: The Wii Fitness Age is measured by factoring the user’s BMI reading, testing the user’s center of gravity and conducting quick balance tests.

• Wii Fitness includes more than 40 types of training activities designed to appeal to all members of a household. Training falls into four fitness categories:

- Aerobic Exercise: 10-minute exercises that are designed to get the heart pumping.
- Muscle Conditioning: Controlled motions using arms, legs and other body parts.
- Yoga Poses: Classic poses that focus on balance and stretching.
- Balance Games: Fun activities, such as ski jumping and heading soccer balls, that challenge the player’s overall body balance.

Using a similar method to Nike+, you can compare results online with other friends from the Wii Menu.

The exact release date for Wii Fit has yet to be announced, but GameStop has listed Wii Fit (including the Wii Balance Board) for $69.99. GameStop lists the estimated release date for 1/1/08.
