Get yourself fit

First released in the UK on 25 April 2008, Wii Fit has prompted a fitness revival and transformed countless living rooms across the globe into home gyms. Since then, the Wii Fit has turned into a fitness must-have for yummy mummies, desperate gamers and wannabe fitties, turning Nintendo’s console, for some, into indispensible gym equipment rather than a games console.

In the months since Wii Fit hit the shelves, a host of brand new fitness games have hit the market, and a bevy of new gimmicks to compliment the balance board have been released. From cameras to track your body weight, to pedometers that work with your DS, and even thigh straps to house nunchucks, there’s no shortage of innovation in the field of gaming fitness.

But, which game comes out trumps when it comes to fighting the flab? We’ve road tested four of the highest profile games to bring you the ultimate guide to the gaming gymnasium.
