Wii Fit alternate Jogging routes

January 17th, 2009

If you are jogging often with your Wii Fit you will surely enjoy these alternate routes so you do not have to run the same courses over and over again. There are at least three alternate routes to unlock and there are probably more of them hidden in the “Free Run” mode (if you haven’t unlocked it yet you may want to take a look how do you unlock the Free Run mode in Wii Fit).

These alternate joggin courses are triggered by the cute dogs that are overtake your character from time to time. Once you see them, run as fast as you can so you pass your guide and the “Oh! You’ve passed your guide!” message appears. Then you will se another message saying “Now follow the dog” and you will be taken to the alternate route.

The routes also slighty varying depending if it’s the first, second or third time you are running after the dog.

Short Course

The dog will appear as you run towards the single house with a Mii outside. There are two slightly different routes when you try it for the first or the second time

Long Course

Chase the dog immediately at the beginning. The first time you will try this route you will jog by the Turbine Hills, the second time you will meet the Wifitty City and the third time you will jog along the White Sand Beach.

Island Lap

Here you will see the doggy immediately after start again. On the first time you will jog on the bridge by Thrilling Falls, through the Mountain Tunnel and then through city and Seagull Point. With the second try the route will lead through the Mountain Tunnel and the Camel Rock, up to the Rocky Peak and end by the city and the seagull point again. And for the third time you will be running up to the Rocky Peak and then again through the city and the Seagull Point.

Here is a more detailed description of the Island Lap alternative routes:

  • You will see a yellow dog at the start. Follow it and soon a black dog will appear. This is the first new alternate route.
  • After following the black dog for a while, a white dog will appear. This is the second new alternate course.
  • Follow the guide at the beginning until you will get to the bridge, and a brown dog will show up. Run for him and you will be taken to the third route
  • Follow as above, but after following the brown dog for awhile, you will be overrun by another brown dog

Wii Fit BMI Calculator

January 17th, 2009

The built-in Wii Fit BMI calculator registers a person’s B.M.I, or body mass index which is a weight evaluation based on height and weight. It is a great screening tool for adults but is not suitable for children because their BMI calculation has to be expressed based on age and gender growth charts, and Wii Fit does not do that.

The B.M.I refers to the approximate body fat in a person but, for example, does not take into account how often a person is active, so if the game categorizes somebody as being overweight or obese, they should seek more information from a health professional who can better evaluate the level of body fat.

But besides of that it is a fun way to screen your progress and reach your goals by checking your BMI from time to time. Here is how it looks like:
