The Wii Fit Balance Board The primary tenet of Wii Fit is balance. Your center of balance, the point between your left and right sides when you stand upright, has a lot to do with your health.

This is where the Wii Balance Board comes in. Similar in appearance to a step aerobics board, the Wii Balance Board is much, much more.
