Not your average video game

Now they have thought of everything!  Nintendo Wii is unveiling a new product designed for weight loss.  If you aren’t sure of what a Wii is, then it is obvious you don’t have children or a game-station loving husband.  Either way, a Wii is the latest craze in videogame land, which actually promotes users to get up and move. 

Not only does this game let you interactively bowl, play a tennis match and actually create your very own rock band, it has now come up with a way to get you to do - and yoga!  The Wii Fit, which is a $90 console addition, dubbed the “Balance Board” not only adds these cardio and strength training, but also tracks a user’s weight and body mass index. Maybe we should consider incorporating the Wii system into the  weight loss spa experience.

Watch out kids - Mom might be fighting you for time on the Wii!  Take a sneak peek at the Wii Fit in action.

Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Nintendo, Cammie Dunaway has great things to say about the Wii Fit bringing families together to enforce a healthy lifestyle.  Not taking away from traditional exercise, such as heading outside for a jog or walk, she says the Wii Fit will bring motivation to those trying to embody a healthy lifestyle. 

If you’re bored with your regular fitness routine, give Wii Fit a try. You might soon be adding it to your list of favorite workouts.
