Review on 🎮 Wii U Fitness Tracker by Flex Morgan

Background: I never played Wii Fit before Wii Fit U so can't compare it to older versions. I've been using this game (with a pedometer) for about three weeks. I am a 5 foot 20 year old female in my early 20's, in good shape and not overweight. Gauge: It's small, about half a dollar and half an inch thick. I've been wearing it under tight fitting clothing for three weeks now and no one has noticed (or politely refrained from asking about an obvious swelling on my thigh). It's made of very strong plastic, and while it sticks to all sorts of materials (denim, stretch cotton), it falls off my waistband when I go to the bathroom. However, it survived several falls onto tiled floors without a single scratch. Just take it off before you unbutton your pants. Otherwise he doesn't move an inch during the day. It stores data for several days, so you won't lose your data while traveling. It's very accurate in terms of steps - I've tried shaking it a variety of ways to see if I can fool it and I can't. So I'm guessing he knows the steps by some magic. It's also accurate with MET (measure of intensity) - when it first came in the mail I jumped like a madman and he knew it was different than normal walking. The game has a fitness meter challenge where you can use your steps or your height to conquer landmarks like the Grand Canyon or the China Wall. You have to go in and tell him to manually transfer this data. It's nice, but I probably won't do it again. Game: Body Check: Daily test of your weight and center of balance. It also includes several other balance tests. Calories aren't counted, and your Wii Fit age varies widely based on your balance test. The new ones aren't really well presented, so expect them to be lousy until you get the hang of them. Weight/BMI appears to be accurate (measured on my almost new bathroom scale). There's also the option to enter a weight loss goal, which keeps you on track but can also get a little shaky. I need to burn 500 calories a day and only eat 561 calories. Yeah right. Training menu: exercises. The different exercises are categorized into yoga, strength training, aerobics, dance and balance games. The lines between the two are blurring as some strength training is like yoga and some aerobics are like dancing. I recommend going to each and "unlocking" all activities by doing them so the game will stop the explanation or give you more replays before moving on to other areas of the game. There is no way to skip long dance routines. and if you do it badly, you have to do it over and over again. There's a little explanation that makes you think "Yes, I've got it, hurry up," and then a complex motion is introduced that makes you feel like a drunk newborn deer. This punished my behavior so much that I now have a Pavlovian instinct to avoid any kind of dance routine. It looks like something the kids will really enjoy. Personal trainer. You can choose an activity group based on calories burned or time (and customize the intensity or type of activity). Choosing based on workout time is a great way to pass those last 5 minutes when you don't know what else to do. /Shoulders, Pamper, Relax, etc. You can create your own routine, but you can't keep it. Also, completing the activities in the Routines section will not unlock explanations or higher reps, nor will the high score be saved/displayed. However, it does a good job of quickly switching between activities. my routine There are three slots for creating your own custom routines. When you create one, there's no way to change the order, so be careful. The best part is that after adding the actions, you can click each one in the list one at a time and change the replays or skip the intro - the intros really slow down the game. Body Breakdown - This is where your activity history is broken down. in the body area so you can see what you are concentrating on or what you are neglecting (back, buttocks, legs, etc.). You can also go to any of the zones and do the exercises right there. I recommend checking this every few times you play. Gym rating and community. Ranking is a good thing for the whole family, but my cat and friend don't play. I haven't tried the gym yet. Cons: Loading screens and text/conversations between activities, between achievements/workouts, and between score displays really slow it down. There are times when you just hit the A button hoping she'll shut up and move on. For example, after a yoga class, you'll be told to do it every day to improve your posture, but you'll also be told to do it every day. Single. Time. There is no smooth transition between holding the controller and putting it down or switching controller types. It's clumsy and uncomfortable. You will need a Wii Balance Board, a gamepad, two Motion Plus controllers and a Nunchaku adapter. If you have a small living room like mine, this can be a problem. There are no warnings if you need to sit in front of, behind, or to the side of the balance board, except after the session has started (if you skip the introduction). The frantic movement of the board is a bit tiresome, but it's not really the game's fault. Some activities are explained too much and others not at all, especially balance games or aerobics. very motivating. If you have a Wii or Wii Balance Board, buy this instead of the Nike Fuelband or Fitbit. It won't get you in good shape or help you lose weight. However, it's a great complement to a real workout at the gym (or, in my case, a light jog on the treadmill for twenty minutes) and it's definitely better than sitting on the couch marathoning Netflix for four hours. Play Wii Fit for an hour, then flip Netflix on for three hours proud of your superiority. It's good.
