Nintendo&#8217;s Wii\u00a0revolutionized\u00a0video games by increasing the physical activity through the games. The video game has a console along with a Nunchuck and Remote. Within your living room, you can play tennis, base ball, boxing, bowling and golf. Wii Sports comprises these five games.<\/p>\n<p>The next version of Wii Sports is Wii Fit, which has a Balance Board along with the console, Nunchuck and \u00a0Remote. It comprises forty games in four categories. The main areas are yoga, balance games, aerobics and strength training. The software in the game allows an individual to record the Body Mass Index (BMI) based on the person&#8217;s details.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wii Fit Plus and Wii Sports<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wii Fit Plus is an advance version of Wii Fit. It has additional games along with calorie tracker, personlized training routine, creating profiles for children and pets. In addition, certain games have been added in Training Plus.

You have to physically move and involve to play these games and get better. That is the reason The AHA has endorsed these products. You can play alone or play in groups with friends and family taking turns. Its always a\u00a0competition\u00a0in sports as to who is performing better in any given sport.<\/p>\n<p>My personal favorites are yoga, aerobics and free run. I am the best in my family in hula hooping. While my son is good at Snow ball fight that improves planning ahead, my husband&#8217;s best is Lotus Focus, a game that improves your concentration!
