Can You Get a Good Workout with the Wii Fit?
It's time for all of the fitness entrepreneurs to get their latest and greatest ideas out to the public. From the totally tame to the hilariously zany, we still fall into the trap of trying the newest thing on the market. Have you tried the Wii Fit?
Those who have one of the Wii consoles swear that it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It is what we have all been waiting for - a true virtual reality for the entire family. As we move, so do the characters on the television. Parents and children alike are bowling, racing, playing guitar, and other games using the Wii controllers and a lot of body movement.
Well, the company went one step further and designed a Wii fitness program. Since everyone was up and moving, they decided to capitalize on it. The Wii Fit is another attachment for the Wii console that looks like a flat board. Using this board, Wii owners can perform a variety of exercises and get in shape.
Let's first examine the cost. With any exercise program, there is always a cost and if the cost seems unreasonable you'll lose people right there. The Wii Fit board costs a whopping $90 but people are willing to pay for the chance to see if it is as much fun as the other Wii games they've tried.
Good news for new exercisers: The Wii Fit board can hold up to 330 pounds. That's not saying that you weigh 330 pounds, but if you are a bigger person, you can use the Wii Fit board. Many new gadgets don't allow for weights in all ranges and that is a problem for people. If we were already slim we wouldn't need to worry about it.
The Wii Fit uses several exercises to get people in shape. One of the exercises is the Wii Fit Ski Jump. You know how the people jump on the Olympic ski runs? That is what you are doing. The board is sensitive enough to pick up your movements and track your fitness workout. With the ski jump, you are squatting in position for the jump and standing to jump.
The Wii Fit board teaches balance and that works the abs and strengthens the other core muscles. Wii Fit is not a total workout program. It does offer a workout but you will need more cardiovascular work than what is provided with the Wii. It functions as a supplement to an exercise program but not as the whole thing. How long will it last? Who knows but as long as people are playing the other Wii games, they are getting at least some activity in each day, which is never a bad thing.
