Though originally conceptualized as little more than a bathroom scale, it also does a surprisingly good job at tracking your center of gravity, allowing a myriad of activities like yoga, hula hoops, and skiing. In fact, although my weight is in the normal range, my calculated &#8220;Wii Fit Age&#8221; was higher than my chronological one &#8211; likely resulting from my proficiency as a couch potato. Fortunately, the toy has gotten us both on a regular exercise regimen, at least for the first 3 days out of the box. I just hope it won&#8217;t become one of those weight-loss fads we&#8217;ll forget about in a month.
