"Have a Wii? Buy this."
Pros: Quality hardware. Polished Software. Motivational. Excellent range of activities. Future game support. Weight tracking.
Cons: Lack of customized or premade routines.
Summary: I have a strong background in fitness, through a competitive D3 university team, and continuation beyond the college level. I was somewhat dubious about this product when I first heard about it, but having tried it, I was an instant convert.
1.) The tracking feature alone is excellent. Keeping track of your weight is a wonderful motivational factor for making healthier lifestyle choices outside of the Wii Fit software.
2.) The game will be quite helpful for sedentary users, and should provide a FULL workout for a beginner to intermediate routine. Augmenting this with outside activities could certainly result in more dramatic results, but the benefits from these activities should not be misconstrued. They WILL help you lose weight and tone your muscles.
3.) For a user who is already fit, and has a regular routine already, this provides an excellent augmentation. Personally, I love the weight tracking and plan on utilizing the yoga and strength training activities before my regular workouts.
If you have any interest whatsoever, this will probably be well worth the investment.
And that's not even taking into account the multiple games (including an EA skate game) already in development using the board.
