Wii Fit U

Wii Fit U forsakes a story for its exercise-oriented gameplay. Players use the Balance Board and the Fit Meter to engage in various activities meant to improve cardio, strength, and general fitness. The Fit Meter, which is a pedometer, can be used throughout the day and then the data gathered, which includes steps taken and calories burned, can be synced with the game through the GamePad. For anyone having trouble staying fit and engaging in a traditional workout routine, Wii Fit U is worth a try.

The Wii Fit U isn't too difficult to pick up, and a tutorial will walk players through the basics as well as how to use the Fit Meter.
