Wii U Pilates

Presently there are no Wii U Pilates classes specifically for the Wii U game pad, but the most suitable game is New U Fitness First Yoga and Pilates.

When you start New U Fitness First Yoga and Pilates, you first create a profile, you will enter your name, sex, your build (skinny, average, or overweight), and you'll also select your experience level with yoga and Pilates (a complete beginner, someone who's taken a few classes, or an expert). You then enter your date of birth, height, handedness, and then choose from one of 10 goals (ranging from weight loss to relieving back pain to improving posture to d-stress; women will also see an option for post-natal exercise).

You then choose one of three "teachers" (all female) each with different personalities and styles who will take you through all the exercises. They tried to make the teacher selection as realistic as possible--you can even read each teacher's bio and hear a taped introduction from each of them. Finally, you choose a location (relaxing nature vistas ranging from a mountain valley to a beachfront), and then have the Wii balance board ( this is the same board used in the Wii U Pilates games) calculate your weight.,the balance board is not required for this game, but it definitely does help with most of the exercises. It's not just exercises. There are a number of meditations, and each practice will end with the option of a meditation session.

The Wii Fit U w/Fit Meter - Wii U has recently been released and this has many fitness like Yoga, Strength Training, Aerobics, Dance and Balance Games  but one of the bets features about the new Wii Fit U is the ability to play many of the activities on the Gamepad, which frees up the TV for the other in your family.



Wii U Fit Meter is basically a pedometer that you clip on and is in sync with the Wii Fit U game and it tracks your progress on walking challenges, this doe not have an Wii U Pilates, hopefully some time in the future Nintendo will put a section in, but the Wii Fit U is really worth the investment
 
It's no substitute for a real class, it's a great way to get a decent yoga and Pilates workout in the privacy of your own home when you just don't feel like going out. But until Nintendo actually create a Wii U Pilates game, this is the best games currently available.
