If you are spending your time playing the balance games, try giving the Hula Hoop another shot. Sure you look like a fool swinging your hips around with an imaginary hula hoop – but you will definitely get an aerobic heart beat doing it. In my opinion this is one of the better exercises because it works your core and gets your heart rate up. If you want to lose a pound or two, then swing it baby!

Are You A Casual Wii Fitter?

MTV News site, Multiplayer recently conducted a poll asking fans if they are still playing the Wii Fit as of the May 20th launch event. I was surprised by the results, only 51% are still playing!
How lazy can America be? Nintendo created the Wii to get our slack behinds up off the couch and actually do something. But what I am hearing is that we’re too lazy to even play a video game that gets our heart beating just a little bit.

Holy cow I can’t believe my weight fluctuated that much! I have been drinking A LOT more water and snacking less so that may have something to do with. I don’t think I can keep this rate up but it does keep me motivated to reach that goal. I would like to remind everyone that July 1st is the last day to send me your information if you would like to compete in the Wii Fit Challenge. Good luck!
Looking For a Wii Fit? You’re Not the Only One

If you have been toying around with the idea of getting a Nintendo Wii Fit, then you might be in for a surprise. Nintendo has cooked up another best seller this year judging by the game’s hit reviews and sales. I thought finding a Nintendo Wii this past Christmas was hard, but getting your hands on a Wii Fit has proven to be even more challenging.
I have been watching the Video Game Best Sellers list at Amazon for the past several days and the Wii Fit has consistently been in the top 5. I also did some browsing at many of the major online retailers and the Wii Fit is back ordered on most sites. I also thought it would be interesting to see what Google Trends had to say about the Wii Fit. Somewhere between March and April search traffic for the Wii Fit started climbing and since its official release it has just spiked through the roof. What I found most interesting was that most of the traffic is coming from the UK.
Also causing Wii Fit to get more attention are some upcoming titles that will leverage the balance board. Some of these are Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009 and Spider Man: Web of Shadows. Personally I am excited to see more games like Wii Fit coming out that will engage players and get them active. America as become an obese society so it really is nice to see game manufacturers trying to step up and make a difference.
If you haven’t laid hands on a Wii Fit yet, it’s only going to get harder. I suggest you get off your couch and start nagging the sales clerks at Best Buy, Wal-mart, and Target until you get one. Or you could of course try to win one in the Wii Fit Challenge (registration ends on July 1st).

This past Christmas my family purchased a Nintendo Wii as our “family gift” and we have really enjoyed it. A few months ago my wife told me about a new game that was coming out that would be fitness oriented and help people get in shape while playing the Wii. I thought to my self “Sweet! but what’s the catch?” Turns out the Wii Fit is just as hard to find as the Nintendo Wii.
