Losing weight is a difficult thing to do. Getting motivated is even harder, especially when prime time television is so good and all of your videogames are so much fun. That’s why many people have turned toward losing weight with their videogame consoles. Much like the Dance Dance Revolution weight-loss fads before it, Wii weight loss is what’s on many gamers’ minds during this season of resolutions.

You can’t start working out with your Wii Fit until you have everything you need—the console, game disc, and Balance Board included. The Wii Fit is for sale everywhere, and recommended purchases include the Wii Fit 3-in-1 Starter Kit (which includes a rechargeable battery pack, the balance board, and the fitness mat), the 5-in-1 Fitness Bundle (which includes everything from the 3-in-1 plus a USB charging cable, silicone sleeve, travel bag, and 1 pair of textured foot socks), or the 6-in-1 Fit Kit (which also has a detachable belt clip for the Wiimote). In addition to the hardware necessary, it’s important to have comfortable clothing for working out: breathable clothing that you can move around in as well as gym shoes. Finally, and possibly most importantly, you need to have a plan.

You’ll be most successful if you schedule a block of approximately 30 minutes of exercise at least three days a week. It’s helpful to work out at the same time each day you choose to exercise because Wii Fit can give you more accurate weight and BMI measurements. The game records how long you exercise and lets you know when it’s time to cool down and stop.

The exercises you can choose from vary, and it’s important to take advantage of each of them. Doing the same workout every time won’t give you an optimal workout and it’s possible you’ll get bored and lose your motivation to continue. So try yoga on Monday, aerobics on Wednesday, strength training on Friday, and have fun on your weekends with some game workouts.

To maximize results, it’s very important that you follow directions and complete the tutorials before you begin. If you feel dizzy or faint, please take a break (and always consult your physician before beginning any new exercise regime). But overall, don’t give up! You won’t look slimmer or tighter right away, but it will happen!

Finally, the part no one wants to hear (or read): exercising is only one part of the weight-loss equation. It’s important to eat right and pay attention to your caloric and nutritional intake, and also get plenty of sleep.

With the holidays coming to a close, those jeans are feeling just a wee bit tight. With the Wii Fit, you can turn a “wee bit tight” to a “Wii bit loose” by following the simple tips from real people that have done exactly that.
