The Wii Fit game has an aerobics component that can really work up a sweat. All of the games in this section use your Mii character that you get to create the first time you log into the game. You can make your Mii look like you, or you can really have fun with it and be creative. Your Mii will represent you in each of the exercise games in this section.
The aerobics component lets you have fun and get your heart rate up. With nine activities to choose from, you’ll be able to have a great time working out in the privacy of your own home. The time you spend exercising earns you FitCash, just like you do in the other components of Wii Fit.
In Hula Hoop, you move your hips just as if you really were rotating a hula hoop. The faster you spin, the more points you get. Occasionally, one of the other Miis will throw another hula hoop towards you. It is your job to lean into it and catch it so it will also circle your hips. It can be tricky to catch the extra hoops. The best way to catch them is to put your whole body into leaning to get them, otherwise they may just get away.
In Super Hula Hoop, expect more of the same, except the difficulty level is raised. The more hula hoops you catch, the higher your score can climb. This is a fun game. Be prepared to be tired at the end of it if you’re just getting started with the game.
In Basic Step, you use the balance board just like you use the step in a step class. Keep time with the music and follow the prompts on the screen for which foot goes where. Each step gets an “OK” if you did the move, and a “Perfect” if you also get the timing right. The better you perform, the faster the tempo goes.
In Advanced Step, new movements are added to complicate the patterns. It is a little tricky at first, but with a little practice it is easy to pick it up.
In Free Step, there is no music. You can choose ten, twenty or thirty minutes, and then you follow a beat to do low impact steps. The beat can be heard through your Wii Remote, and if you keep an eye on your Mii on the screen, you’ll do just fine.
In the Basic Run, you set the balance board aside. You have a guide to follow on the screen as you run in place. The scenery changes around your Mii as you jog through the virtual park with other Miis. The important thing to do during the jog is to maintain an even pace. If a little dog runs by, chase after it quickly to find an alternate route.
You can also jog with a friend. Using two Remotes, you’ll both be able to jog along the path. Finally, in the Free Run, you can choose to run for ten, twenty or thirty minutes. In this version, you don’t have to follow a guide.
The last aerobics game is Rhythm Boxing. You want to step on and off the board while throwing punches using the Wii Nun-chuck attached to the Remote. To punch the machine you are facing, you need to step forward off the board and then throw a punch with the appropriate hand. The better your timing, the better your score. This game can be confusing at first. Pay attention to your trainer and you’ll soon catch on. At the end, you’ll get a free punching time to try and knock out your machine. You don’t need to step off the board for this, just punch as fast as you can to get points.
