Question for YOU

Posted Jun 18 2009 1:33pm

Ever since the Nintendo Wii fitness video game thingy came out, I have been considering:

  1. Howtechnologyis currently being used to improve physical fitness/nutrition/etc..
  2. And , more importanly, how it should be usedto improve physical fitness/nutrition/etc..

At the present time, there are a few big technological influences on fitness:

  1. The internet – web sites, blogs, videos, etc…
  2. iPhone fitness apps
  3. Nintendo Wii fitness games

In fact, I just read that those fitness video games are the fastest growing part of the gaming industry.

The only problem is…

…They suck.

Even the worst personal trainer at the cheesiest health club is going to give you a better workout than you’re going to get with this toy.

Seriously, that band is made for an 80 year old, arthritic grandmother type…or Bob Greene.

And that’s fine if you’re an 80 yr old grandmother…or Bob Greene.

.

So, finally, here’s my question:

With the technology available today, or with the technology that’s coming on the horizon, how do YOU think that technology can be used to improve fitness training, diet, etc…?
