Unlocking Rhythm Boxing
Not all games within "Wii Fit" are immediately available. The game requires you to meet certain achievements before progressing to new games and exercises, in the shape of Wii Fit Credit. These are earned through completion of existing games and through logging a certain amount of exercise time on the overall "Wii Fit" game. To unlock the "Rhythm Boxing" game, you must accumulate one hour and 40 minutes of Wii Fit Credit in other areas of the exercise regime.
Finding the Rhythm
This game has "rhythm" in its title for a good reason. All the movements are carefully timed with the background music, and scoring points hinges on how well you keep to the rhythm established by the trainer. To better keep time, and to land your punches and block more effectively, nod your head with the rhythm of the background music. Don't try tapping your foot to keep time, as the game requires you to step forward with both feet.
Punching and Blocking
Each punch requires you to step forward off the balance board as you extend the arm, and it's always the same hand and leg that move forward. For example, if the game requires you to make a right punch, you always step forward with the right foot. Improve your accuracy by leading slightly with the foot, and then following with the punch. Blocking is performed automatically when you put both feet back on the balance board. Make sure you only strike the bag when the "punch" target appears.
Sequences
The trainer will show you the required rhythm before the next round begins. Repeat the rhythm out loud to help you remember it, and avoid mistakes when it's your turn to exercise. It sometimes helps to think of "block" as "back," since each time the game asks you to block, you step back onto the balance board. Each exercise consists of two sets, but the trainer will always reverse the moves for the second set of each exercise rather than giving you a whole new sequence of moves to remember.
