video game: Wii Fit (Nintendo Wii)

[L2R]

i dunno whether this belongs here or in healthy living

Wii Fit is an upcoming "game" on the nintendo wii. It comes with a simple balance board

which is used in various ways to control the onscreen character.

It can also measure your BMI and track your fitness and weight loss progress!

check out the vids here. watch them all. there are a heap of them.

so much for video games causing obesity!

I'm actually looking forward to this!

I see a lot of potential in this

Picked up a Fit the other weekend.

I fucking love this thing!

It truly is an entertaining way to exercise.

And the weight/BMI tracking and goal setting/tracking is a great feature that really helps to encourage you towards your fitness goals.

i will get it, just don't know when....

 

[steinanwine]

Yeah so I really want this. Too bad I don't have a Wii and probably never will.

I think this is dumb, but applaud any attempt to get people to exercise more.

I just think it'd be terrible to be told you're fat by a computer game.

^ ya that shit is annoying

I grabbed it for the misses, and decided to give the yoga a whirl, I do weight training and figured the yoga would be good way to stretch after wards.

Hooked, plus the fact that it helps you focus on center of balance is something you wont get from yoga classes, when I started I walked and applied alot of preasure on my heels, since I have gotten very more aware of my center of balance.

But it makes me mad when I weigh 225, lift 275 bench press and the damned thing calls me obesse cause it is only going off my weight!!

^I love the yoga! I've only played this on my best friend's machine, but I am totally 100% hooked. I spent most of that trip trying to blackmail Busty into agreeing to get one for us.. Current status: amber light.

Ya, me being into weight lifting, did not think I would get hooked into yoga, but it's really damned good!

I might've gotten it if it had Tai-Chi
