On and above the new workout regimes and games Wii Fit Plus also comes with a host of further enhancements on and over the original title not least is a feature referred to as ‘The Locker Room’ which allows you to further personalise the workouts and to tailor the exercises to your specific requirements as well as to forgo intermediary screens and just get down to burning those calories should you be well versed with the workouts on offer.
