Wii Fit is a fitness game that uses a balance test to determine your age. The software is designed to be accurate for people ages 2 to 20. However, results may not be accurate for younger people. This is because a person with more muscle mass will have a higher BMI than someone with less muscle mass. Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll". IGN. Archived from the original on July 25, 2009 .

While Wii Fit does have its benefits, it is not recommended for those who are very fit. While running with the Wii Fit is a good way to burn calories, it can also harm your knees and ankles. Additionally, the Wii Fit jogging games don’t allow you to run at your normal pace. The slow pace you’re forced to maintain is often accompanied by trips and falls. How accurate is Wii Fit age?

If you’re thinking of getting a Wii ski, you’ll want to find out whether or not a balance board is needed. These boards are designed for gaming consoles and can help you learn how to ski better. They also allow you to practice your balance and learn how to perform parallel turns. GameSpy. "Wii Want to Pump You Up: "Wii Fit" at GDC." February 20, 2008.

Despite this flaw, Wii Fit can still be a very effective exercise game. The Wiimote can be used to perform exercises without the balance board. However, it is a good idea to have someone watch you mimic the exercises. In addition to that, the Wii Fit is fundamentally broken. There are detection problems that can make the game unreliable when the Wiimote is called into play. This means that it is very easy to cheat on Wii Fit. My Fitness Coach 2: Exercise and Nutrition".

So what's next for the Wii Balance Board? Not much, at least that the public knows of. Nintendo is notoriously tight-lipped when it comes to discussing its future projects, so it's entirely possible that its engineers are, or have been, working on some new features. With rumors circulating that Nintendo may be preparing a follow-up to the Wii console in 2011, it is not yet clear whether it will revamp its existing board or simply ditch it in favor of a similar-looking, but more advanced model [source: Davison]. The BMI system has come under criticism recently, as a number of parents have claimed their kids have been given inaccurate results. The National Obesity Forum has also made a statement on the issue. Nintendo’s response to these reports has been a full apology. The company has also clarified in the user’s manual that it is not always possible to get an accurate age from the Wii Fit.
