Here’s something that might be of interest to competitive Wii Fit users out there. Wii Records is a great site for recording your Wii highscores and comparing them with other wii users. They’ve got sections of all the games in the Wii Catalog including Wii Fit which you can check out here.

Below is a youtube video demonstrating how you can submit your records to the site.

So you thought the balance board was just for Wii Fit? Well think again. Matthieu Deru and Simon Bergweiler, two researchers from the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, have managed to hook it into other applications including the immensely popular online role playing game World Of Warcraft.

Using the balance board you can move your virtual character around by leaning in the direction you wish to travel. If these guys can bring this technology forward another step and have it based on a running motion then gamers of the future may end up looking more like toned athletes than couch potato’s.

Chad Sapieha over at globeandmail.com has been recording his wii fit experiences over the past three weeks.

However, as promised last week, I did focus on Wii Fit’s yoga exercises. In fact, I’ve unlocked them all, including the scary looking Shoulder Stand pose, which had me balancing my entire body on my shoulders and elbows (but not on the balance board—Nintendo had the good sense to keep players on the floor for this one). My Wii coach said the Shoulder Stand was supposed to help my “inner harmony.” Unfortunately, I found the pose made my neck feel as though it was about to snap, making it difficult for me to achieve any sort of accord between mind and body.

Here are his numbers for the week

Weight: 179.9 pounds (Down by 0.2 pounds this week, 2.1 pounds overall. It’s not Slim-Fast, but at least I’m heading in the right direction.)

Body Mass Index (BMI): 27.27 (A drop of 0.08 this week, down 0.33 in total.)

Wii Fit Age: 29 (An increase of 7 years. Again, I’ve found this figure can fluctuate by decades from day to day depending on the random balance tests I am instructed to take, so it seems a somewhat useless indicator of one’s fitness.).
