WiiFit just around the corner
I’ve written about how I really like the Wii for a substitute exercise from time to time. Yesterday, Diet-Blog posted about the upcoming WiiFit, which promises to extend the exercise and fitness options to Wii owners.
The base games provided with the Wii is the WiiSports package, which includes tennis, boxing, baseball, golf, and bowling. Most are just fun, but boxing will kick your butt, assuming you do it right - actually ‘throw’ punches, bounce, and duck. It’s something I’ll do on a rainy day, or if I get home late and don’t want to go for a walk in the dark. Plus, it’s just different, which helps body and mind.
I wouldn’t want a video game to replace the exercise options for myself or my kids, but having a tool like this to substitute and shake things up from time to time is a big help. Having more options in WiiFit will help even more. Can’t wait for May to get here!

Got something to say?
I completely agree. While I don’t want my kids to be relying strictly on video games for their exercise, I am realistic in that they are going to play video games at some point. Having an option such as the Wii makes complete sense. I am also looking forward to the Wii fitness related games.
My friend (Rick ) has a Wii and he said it works great for exercise untill he found out he could do most of them sitting in a chair.he now works out with me 3 days a week and does cardio the other days he has lost 15 # in 5 weeks.
