Wii Fit Reviewed By a Formerly Fit Geek
A self proclaimed “formerly fit geek” over at Gizmodo reviews Wii Fit–overall he seems to be impressed.
So what’s it good for? In fitness, no machine can ever replace the drive to be healthy. Not Bowflex, not Thighmaster, and not Wii Fit. The real difference here is that Wii Fit builds fitness consciousness, reminding us of our body’s state of being, chiding us for bad habits while encouraging the good. And this is while building up the basic fitness necessary to start doing high intensity workouts or sports. It makes exercise feel like a video game, and we all know we can have fun playing those for hours.
So perhaps Wii Fit won’t be a hardcore workout–be it can shame you into getting in the habit of getting exercise. And to some, that’s the hardest part.
