Wii Fit

For Lediya's birthday, I got her Nintendo's new Wii Fit game. If you haven't heard what Wii Fit is, it's a pretty revolutionary way to exercise involving video gaming. From Amazon.com: The active-play phenomenon started by Wii Sports now spreads to your whole body thanks to Wii Fit and the pressure-sensitive Wii Balance Board, which comes bundled with it. Used together players will experience an extensive array of fun, dynamic and surprisingly challenging activities, including aerobics, yoga, muscle stretches and balance oriented games. The focus of these activities is towards providing a "core" workout, a popular exercise method that emphasizes slower, controlled motions, but it's the fun approach to fitness of Wii Fit that will keep players hooked on fitness for years to come.

We've been playing it for a few days and I must say it gives a pretty good workout. For instance, I have never done any yoga before but when I attempted to play yoga, it got pretty tiring. The other fun parts are the balancing games using the balance board. Our favorites are hula hoop, ski slalom, ski jump, and tightrope walk. It forces you to use core muscles that you don't really use. If you have a Nintendo Wii, this is a must own game for you. Nintendo has done it once again.
