How to trick a Wii Fit

I don't know how many people use or want to use these. But they have some really good exercises you can do at home.

The problem with the Wii Fit is that it will not work if you weigh over 330 pounds. The actual hardware can support over 600 pounds but the software puts a 330 lb. limit on it.

So for me, at a starting weight of 408 lbs. I would not be able to take advantage of this tools. But there is a way around it.

If you put the Wii Fit platform on a soft blanket that will allow people over the 330 lb limit to use the unit. I have a blanket and I need to fold it a couple of times. It confuses the scale so it lets you play the game. Your weight specs will not be accurate but that is far less important then unlocking all the games & exercises it lets you do
