I'd never though I'd see the day when we'd be applauding video games for their contribution in getting people up and moving. But it's here. And I think it's great. I have a Wii myself, and I've actually broken a slight sweat playing Wii Sports-and also suffered a welt on my wrist from accidently being hit by my boyfriend's "forehand" in Wii Tennis, but I digress.
I heard "Wii Fitness" is going to be out next year (I believe), and it may include Yoga. I'm interested to see how they do it, but you go Nintendo!
Fitness guru attracts stars with Wii bit of fun
Posted by Nancy B.
Studeo 55 may be the first fitness club that has incorporated Nintendo Wii into its circuit training. Nathan Mellalieu, owner of the club which has attracted Jennifer Garner, Nick Cannon and other celebrities, thinks it is a good idea to make workouts fun, although he told the Edmonton Sun he doesn’t encourage long workouts on the video console even if they are playing tennis or table tennis. "You'll never see anyone play for more than three or four minutes," Mellalieu said. "It's just another tool to stimulate some fun for us."
