Wii Fit for Multiplayer
It's better to exercise with a friend. There's even research to support that statement, with a study published in the International Journal of Stress Management stating that "exercising with someone resulted in more calmness."1 The Wii console and Wii Fit Plus make this possible and even make it fun, creating some friendly competition and good entertainment for family and friends.
Benefits

- Plenty of fun games: There are 9 exciting multiplayer games to experience, including soccer, golf, skiing, hula hoop, and more.

Lots and lots and lots of players
Wii Fit Plus supports up to eight people in their multiplayer mode. Yes, 8! Using just one Wii Balance Board2 and one Wii Remote, friends and family members will take turns playing one of nine different games.
Healthy exercises for good fitness
Wii fitness games cover aerobics, toning, strength training, yoga, balance and cardio exercises. These great exercises promote a healthy heart, positive general health, and will help maintain and lose weight.
Fun activities for friendly competition
Each of the nine different multiplayer games are fun sports activities. From soccer to skiing, golf to hula hoop, and obstacle courses to snowball fights, there are hours of fun and plenty of replay value for players and their friends. Compete against each other for the highest score or the best time.
And each of the games will work out a player's fitness level, balance and coordination. They will still get the same benefits of exercise and release all of those good endorphins to improve mood, but it won't feel like they're sweating at all when they're playing with friends.
Fun for any age or fitness level
These exercises are intuitive and easy to perform. Multiplayer games on Wii Fit Plus use familiar activities and familiar motions to guide players to victory, so the only controller they really use is their own body. That means that beginners, even those who have never lifted a weight, will have no problem playing one of the games.
And because these activities start off easy and can be adjusted to fit any skill level, anybody from age 5 to 85 can enjoy the health benefits of fitness on the Wii, and the entertainment of playing with friends.
Mutiplayer means everyone... even the dog
The entire family can get involved with Wii Fit Plus, even if they're too young or even unable to play. Players can make a profile for their toddler, tracking their weight and promoting a healthy and fitness-minded attitude in children early. And even the family dog or cat can participate. A favorite pet can have their own Mii character on Wii Fit Plus, and with the help of an owner, can be weighed and have their weight tracked.
