Fun Fitness

What are your excuses for not exercising? Do lack of sleep, lack of energy or bad weather sound familiar?

Nintendo is changing the way we view fitness by introducing us to Wii Fit. It combines fitness and fun. All you need are a Wii, a TV and the special Wii Balanced Board - a precisely engineered board that senses both weight and shifts in movement and balance.

There are four training modes that target the body’s core: yoga, balance games, strength training and aerobics. And from there you can take part in 40 fun and physical activities.

Wii Fit begins by analyzing your fitness level via your body mass index and then tracks your progress, each time you partake in Wii exercise. You can set goals, check your Wii Fit Age and even make a little virtual person that looks like you.

We had great fun bouncing a virtual soccer ball off our head and pretending we were an Olympic ski jumper. What will you try - virtual snowboarding, twirling a virtual hula hoop or taking part in a virtual step aerobics class?
