Water Sports Wii adds variety to your balance board fitness regime. Although limited in terms of gaming, it is good to see a game that places balance rather than weight-loss at the centre of its health plan.

As a trained professional fitness coach I bring an informed and balanced take on fitness video games. I cover Xbox 360, PS3, Wii-Fit, DS lite and PSP games from a gym, health and fitness angle.
It is time to share my experiences, give an insight into the people, the equipment and the emerging gamign fitness industry as Game People's very own Fit Gamer. Read more about me.
All Star Cheerleader 2 continues the exuberant fitness friendly game play. Although I missed some of the, now dialled down, saccharine cheerleading culture there is still plenty to challenge even the most proficient of exercisers.
Simultrainer is an exercise system that works with a range of professional gym gear. While it's not cheap, the build quality and fundamental changes it brings to exedrcising are well worth it. And compared to a year's gym membership it's actually pretty good value.
Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2010 maybe just as shouty as the first game, but underneath the harsh Sergeant major exterior there are some intelligent improvements. Motion captured instruction, balance board support and dropping the tethered Nun-chuck make Fitness Ultimatum 2010 a better experience than last year.
Kinect and Move join the Wii in motion gaming. As with Nintendo, it will be the games that make all the difference to both the success and popularity of this new technology.
All Star Karate offers some genuinely active game play that will contribute to a fitter lifestyle. But not only that, the tongue in cheek visuals, well measure controls and MotionPlus support make this a solid release for fitness and general gamers alike.
Everlast Wii Fit workout accessories create a workout much closer to the gym. Although the weights were a little fiddly to use, both them and the balance board platform made for a much more challenging work out.
British Military Fitness's iPhone app My Fitness Instructor is simple and effective. It delivers their training expertise where ever you are. High production values and the quality of the source material make working out not only more enjoyable but more effective.
Cyberbike Wii comes with a full size well built exercise bike and is surprisingly well polished. If the bike was a little harder to pedal this would be a great fitness option, as it stands though it is simply a lot of fun.
The Gamercize Family Fit bike is a new idea to help gamers get fit while they play. It's designed to appeal to non-gamers and hard gamers alike.
