Question by Jyni A: What form of yoga is on the wii fit plus?
I don't happen to have my wii anymore but I really want to continue that style of yoga. Any extra information it quite welcome thanks in advance

Best answer:
Hi Jyni,
I think you can categorize Wii Fit yoga as "hatha". Hatha is the style most people think of when they think of yoga in general. Check out local studios in your area, or, see if there's a lululemon store near you. All of our stores offer complimentary yoga classes: http://www.lululemon.com/stores/

Wii Fit

Getting fit with Wii FitWii Fit will help you work up a sweat, but it's not as smooth and fun a workout as you'd probably like, it takes the whole concept of games as exercise to a new level with the inclusion of a balance board peripheral that can tell you on the fly exactly how well--or how poorly--you're doing with its various activities. As such, Nintendo is heavily marketing this innovative title as a mixture of fitness and fun, and for the most part it works. It's a good alternative for those bored with the repetitiveness of going to a gym or too self-conscious to join a yoga or aerobics class.

Wii Fit balance board The aerobic and balance activities represent the fun side of Wii Fit with 18 games to choose from. The aerobic games include hula hoops, Wii Sports-like boxing, step dancing, jogging, and more. To get use to the board try out the balance activities, and include ski jump, ski slalom, snowboarding (where you have to turn the balance board sideways), a table tilt game where you have to use your shifting weight in a Mercury Meltdown-style challenge

Your Wii healthWii Fit exercises can have a positively impact on your health, focusing more on improving muscle tone and balance than on cardio and weight loss. It offers a better way to track your weight, body mass index (BMI), and time spent exercising both within the game itself and from any other external activities, providing users with a strong anchor for a more vigours fitness regime should you have the motivation.

I don't like the significant judgments that Wii Fit assumes about its users' fitness. This happens right from when your Mii is first registered with the game; after inputting a date of birth and height, you're asked to step on the balance board for a weigh-in. From the height and weight data, your BMI is calculated, with you being tagged as underweight, ideal, or overweight depending on the BMI score. A simple balance test then occurs (usually involving having to shift your balance to certain areas within a time limit) before your Wii Fit Age is displayed in large numbers on the screen. Only one Wii Fit Age result can be recorded daily, although you can practice the variety of balance tests as many times as you want.

Wii excerisesWii Fit is is similar to the various Brain Training games on the Nintendo DS, with the title broken down into a series of exercises that you can do regularly to improve your health. These exercises are split into four different categories: yoga, muscle, aerobic, and balance. The yoga and muscle categories feel the most like traditional exercise, with 15 yoga poses and 15 muscle-toning moves to work through. The muscle-toning section, with basic lunges mixed in with more strenuous activities such as the parallel stretch and push-ups. You can choose male or female for your virtual trainer to guide you through the yoga and muscle exercises, giving you praise or criticism depending on how well or how badly you perform.
