Consider your cardio options. It is recommended that most people add cardiovascular exercise to their workout program four to five times per week. The Wii Fit includes a "Free Step" option that allows you to do simple step aerobics for a predetermined period of time. The speaker on the remote will keep you on the beat, so you can change the channel and watch television while steppinig.

Try to use every exercise on the software each week. While each person will have their favorite Wii Fit activities, it is important to focus on all the different muscle groups during your training program.
