Get Wii Fit Together
There's no denying the importance of family fitness. But
sometimes inclement weather and busy schedules can be a
nuisance to you family's fitness goals. So, what's the
solution?
Technology, like the Nintendo Wii
Fit, can offer a host of fitness advantages, keep your
family moving and inspire friendly competition
— all without ever leaving the house. Though the Wii
Fit can't replace time outside or at the gym, here are some
advantages that just might have you thinking Wii!
It's personal. Whether you are a fitness novice or pro, the Wii Fit will
track your own personal fitness profile and progress.
First you'll make a Mii (avatar), your on-screen likeness, then input
your height and weight. Then the Wii will help calculate
your center of gravity and body mass index (BMI) and help
you set goals for the amount of calories you want to burn or
weight you want to lose. You can even password protect your
Mii if you want to keep your information private.
It's versatile. Not only does the Wii Fit keep you
and your family moving, it offers an impressive array of fun
exercise activities, including boxing, downhill skiing, hula
hoop, running, rhythm kung-fu, skateboarding, step aerobics,
strength training, yoga and more. It also offers 4 distinct
fitness focuses – yoga, aerobics, strength training and
balance – to keep your workout from becoming stale.
It's competitive. While you can work out
on your own, you can also choose or turn your workouts into fun
family competitions, monitor your progress and see how you
stack up against family members. If you’re
competing with others, you’ll
see an immediate ranking of the results at the end of each
interval.
It's entertaining.
Forget the monotony of a boring treadmill routine. The
allure of an action-packed, videogame workout is
perfect for keeping you and your kids interested and active.
The Wii Fit gives you positive verbal feedback, instant
rewards for a job well done, and "fit credits" which allow
you to unlock new fun activities and challenges.
It's convenient. After your workout, the Wii Fit is small enough to be stored
under the bed or couch or put away in a closet out of the
way. Plus, since it's in your home, you and your kids can
workout and compete anytime you want without having to worry
about weather or gym hours.
It's rewarding.
Working out on the Wii can be very
fun,
and the reward is not just virtual. With real work and
commitment over time, you can make forward progress toward
your family's fitness goals, feel better physically and see
the real results of your efforts.
But don't forget, no matter how
fun the Wii may be, nothing beats a bike ride around the
neighborhood or a trip to the local swimming pool with your
family.
