Let me guess. You bought Wii Fit thinking it would provide the motivation you needed to finally get up and start working out on a regular basis. You loved the balance games, toyed with the strength/yoga exercises, and even kept up with regular weigh ins and workouts for a few weeks, maybe even a few months.
Then, the game started to lose its luster. Suddenly, getting up off of the couch to play didn't seem as fun as playing some of your other, less active games. Eventually that balance board and copy of Wii Fit ended up gathering dust under the couch or in a closet somewhere.
You may have pulled the board out a few times to check out the additional control features in Punch Out!! or Skate It, but by now you've pretty much given up on getting much future use out of it. Sure, Wii Fit Plus may inspire a balance board renaissance, of sorts, but chances are that board will end up right back where it's been stored for so long.
Don't feel bad. The majority of people who purchased Wii Fit have ended up in the same place, but your balance board doesn't have to fall by the wayside just because you're not working out with it. There are lots of great ways to get some use out of that huge hunk of plastic.
Did you know that you can use the balance board for more than just tracking your McDonalds-fueled backslide into obesity? The system can actually detect when you're holding an object when you step on the scale, so you can actually use the balance board and Wii Fit to weigh various objects around your household.
Pick up your pets and find out just how much they weigh or grab that ten pound bag of flour and use the balance board to ensure you're getting your money's worth at the grocery store.
