TV workouts have advanced now with the Wii Fit system, complete with motion sensing and a balance board that tracks every slight change in position.

Many saw the potential for weight loss in Wii Fit right away, and both documented their own efforts and analyzed how the Wii Fit could best be used to aid weight loss.
