Wii Fit Systems

Nintendo's Wii Fit balance board for the Wii console is one of the hottest gaming releases since it came out a year ago.  Now users are getting much more exercise with some new releases for the Wii Fit.  Tired of yoga and balancing exercises?  Let's get a little more physical folks!

Electronic Arts has released EA Sports Active For Wii, which is the first fitness "game" released by the gaming company known for its sports games like "Madden NFL" and "NBA Live."

You can really burn the calories using Sports Active, in just 30, according to EA spokespeople.  instead of a focus on "eastern" style fitness like yoga, this game uses more active, Western style fitness activities. There's also a 30-Day Challenge which gives users a specific workout routine which includes more structure than other Nintendo fitnes programs.

EA is targeting women with Active, and they know how hard it can be to get to the gym, so using this at home is a great option. Look for Wii Fit bundles, with the Wii console plus Sports Active to be coming out soon.
