Wii Fit Systems

The Wii Fit was instrumental in making the Nintendo Wii console a big seller again last holiday. To keep people active, new games and videos are coming out for the Wii Fit to help add to the fitness craze it started.

For example, EA Sports Active, coming out soon, brings more "Western" style exercise to the Wii Fit, meaning more action and activity, versus the balance and yoga of the first videos for the balance board. The games include running and jumping to get that heart rate up.

Nintendo is also releasing the Wii Fit Plus game, an upgrade to the current Wii Fit that comes with the balance board. There are new options for workout routines added to this new game. There are also games tha tlet you run and jump, making it a boost to your cardio workout, and it comes wiht new workout routines and monitors.

The Wii Fit continues to build the interest in "exer-gaming" meaning making fitness fun, and also for the whole family. These are exercises that kids can do, as well as parents, to keep everyone active and in shape.

Pilates is even coming to the Wii Fit. One of its promoters, former MTV VJ Daisy Fuentes, has made many Pilates DVDs, and she’s now bringing Pilates to the Wii.

Sega will be releasing “Daisy Fuentes Pilates” which the Wii controls, as well as the Balance Board, to monitor your movements and make sure you’re doing the exercises the correct way. “It focuses on the connection between your mind and body, giving you smooth control over your movements,” she says. “And the Wii is a great way to practice it.”

As you can see, the Wii Fit has a lot going for it to make it part of your daily routine for fitness.
