Wii Would Like To Excercise
April 24, 2008 – 5:52 pm
The folks over at Nintendo got gamers off the couch a couple years ago with the Wii, but now they are stepping up the intensity with the Wii Fit. The Fit is a ‘balance board’ attachment with several ‘games’ that lead users in doing push ups, sit ups and even yoga. In addition, it tracks weight, body mass index and center of gravity.
The system allows users to set weight loss goals and track their progress everytime they get on the board, and there are a variety of activities for men, women, and children of all ages and fitness levels (see video). How much of a cardio workout you can actually get from the Fit remains to be seen, but getting people to be active is definitely a step in the right direction.
