I have a Wii Fit. Is it a good way to workout?

Wii Fit uses a platform called the Wii Balance Board which allows the software to calculate body mass index (BMI) when told the user's height. The Board also helps develop balance and promotes aerobic fitness. The Wii Fit has about 50 different activities that include yoga poses, push ups and other exercises.

Like any other piece of home exercise equipment the Wii Fit only works when it is used.  I know plenty of people who have exercise equipment in their homes and they have become expensive clothes racks.  If you have a Wii Fit, but you don’t use it, it won’t work.  If you do use it and enjoy the interactive games, then it is a fun way to exercise at home. Any time you move, raise the heart rate, and keep that up for half an hour or more, you will benefit.
