My husband and I are looking at this system as a way to exercise together. I found this while reading about it:
(while sitting on the 'balance board' that is one of the many accessories)

Zazen
Objective: Sit perfectly still and don't disrupt the candle!
# How to Unlock: Accumulate 3:00 Fit minutes Sit on the Balance Board cross-legged and don't move a muscle. Any twitch you make will cause air to rush over the candle, potentially putting it out!

There are two youtube videos about it:

Where's the Zafu? I probably wouldn't last a minute :)

Funny you should ask, Will...

There's another 'yoga mat' accessory that can combine with it, so you can get both pieces!

Perhaps for fun, but I don't think for serious practice. Could be distracting.

Hey all,

I bought a Wii Fit a couple weeks ago and found the zazen feature only the other day. It is a balance game and the point is to sit as still as possible for up to 3 minutes. There are distracting noises played throughout the game and if you move at all a candle flickers more actively. When I unlocked the game after accumulating enough credits, I just looked back at my wife and we were both a bit dumbfounded. I wonder if there is more to it sinced many of the balance games have advanced settings that unlock after awhile...I'll keep everyone posted on that!

Gassho,
Scott
