So You Got a Nintendo Wii Fit Balance Board?

Alright, you've got your Wii Fit and balance board. You wanna know what you're dealing with? This is like you your bathroom scales on steroids. The Wii Fit balance board is actually a pressure sensitive controller. It can measure your center of gravity, body control, weight (of course!) and after you enter your age it will spill out all kinds of interesting data about you like your body mass index and whether you are fat for your age or not. Don't take it too seriously or you will end up like that British mother who sued Nintedo because Wii Fit said her daughter was overweight.
This Balance Board becomes your controller. Using it totally interactively you go through the activities - moving your body, leaning and turning.
You can use it to constantly compare your results with your previous ones and especially for the ladies - YES, you can use the balance board to measure your weight every half an hour to see the improvement.
Note: You've probably figured it out but try to use it while barefoot. The measurements will be much more precise.

Setting Up the Balance Board

First you'll need to synchronize it to the Wii. To do this just press the small, red "sync" button inside the battery cover of the board, and behind the front panel on the Wii. After that you'll see the virtual Wii Balance Board greeting.
The Board will walk you through the initial setup. This includes choosing your Mii, entering your height and birth date, as well as trying a balance game. Using this data, the game will measure your Body Mass Index and Wii Fit Age. Finally, and the fun part, the game will allow you to set a Fitness goal: weight you want to lose (or gain) in a certain period of time. Ideally, you'll want to lose enough weight to fall into the normal BMI range. But try to be realistic with the time frame. I can imagine you wanting to lose 40 pounds in a month but I don't need to tell you it's unlikely to happen. Instead, set your target date far enough out so that your goal is obtainable for you. Anyway do not underestimate what Wii Fit can do for you.
