The Wii Fit Board Won't Connect

The Nintendo Wii exercise game "Wii Fit" uses the Wii Balance Board to ensure that you are doing the activities correctly and to track your body mass index so your weight-loss progress can be measured and recorded. For the Wii Balance Board to work, it must be synced with the Wii console. If you can't get it to connect, your movements won't be tracked in "Wii Fit" or other games that rely on the balance board peripheral.
