Wii Fit Balance Board

At the core of the Wii Fit experience is the new Wii Fit balance board, an elegant looking yet surprisingly sturdy peripheral which features several internal scales that can detect changes in weight and pressure as you're standing on it.

The balance board which is weighs in at roughly 8.8lbs (4kgs) - interacts wirelessly with the Wii, and takes four AA batteries (which are included). The balance board has four rubber feet to help prevent it from slipping on smooth surfaces (and even comes with four extra feet that can be used to raise your Wii Fit balance board higher should you have thick carpet on your floors).

Like the Wii Remote before it, the Wii Fit balance board is intuitive to use once you get into an exercise or game in Wii Fit, with its extreme sensitivity allowing it to pick up even the most minute shifts in weight.
