When I first started playing soccer, my teammates said that I lean too much to the front when running and lacked the balance and strength to fight off defenders. Years have passed, I no longer get knocked off easily or shoved away. I thought my balance was at the best it could be, until I came across this...
Nintendo Wii FIT!

OMG I just did a basic test and my balance is quite bad! Not as good as I thought I am!

Does anyone of you have Wii Fit or have tried Wii Fit?? I am planning to do exercises with Wii Fit everyday to improve my balance. I am a really speedy player, so I bet improving my balance would improve my game.

What do you guys and gals think?

haven't checked out the wii fit.... been trying to get one but haven't found any!
But they say your leaning too far forward... as in start of a sprint. You want that lean! Maybe I'm confused to what your saying

I have it and it helps tremendously with balance.

I have the Wii Fit and I could see it helping with balancing. My wife has gotten better at it but I did extremely well on the baseline test so I haven't improved too much.

same thing happened to me...
It was hard on the first day cuz I did some exercise wrong.
I tried again a week later, my Wii Fit age went to -1 of my actual age. (im 23). and I have 3+ stars in all the challenges!
but i can see myself improving my balance further by doin some wii fit everyday~ surprisingly yoga is quite fun and it actually makes you sweat~ haha

Got to agree .... Wii Fit has helped with my balance too. I was pretty crap at all the balance games at first but now i've got really good at them. So i really think it does help!!
