Wii Fit, a video game released for the Nintendo Wii, has become quite the popular game among teens and adults alike. In addition to being fun, the game has also aided many overweight video game players to lose extra pounds while having fun.
Wii Fit has created quite the stir in the blogging community, where numerous people have created daily blogs updating their progress. Many have had different results, but the general consensus is that in a year's time, one could hope to lose 10 pounds with ease, and that is without changing their diet and only exercising more with Wii Fit each day.
The real impact of the game can be seen once we take a look how it is used in health facilities. Rehab centers for the physically disabled have been investing in the game to get their clients up and going on their own free will. After all, who doesn't like a good game while trying to relearn how to walk, run, or otherwise return one's mobility to their own lifestyle? Clearly, Wii Fit has a lot to offer to one's health.
Those who always complain about exercising being boring will have great fun with Wii Fit, as over 40 exercises are available to use with a special Wii peripheral that can measure weight, posture, and stance among other things. It also succeeds in making the act of exercising competitive- with offering high scores, unlocked bonuses, and a final rating meter that gives a score based on performance. Even so, those lacking a competitive nature won't be disappointed in just simply enjoying the game.
Yoga has become a popular way to relieve stress, loosen tense muscles, and keep the body flexible. Yoga is usually done in classes, which can cost quite a bit of money. But with the Wii Fit, customers can ditch the class fees and instead pay a one-time free for the game and peripheral device. Wii Fit will then be able to teach yoga to a great extent, something that should be enjoyed on a daily basis.
Those who are serious about toning their muscle may want to pass, since most of the exercises involve aerobic exercises and toning exercises, rather than focusing on building muscle. Some exercises such as pushups will indeed help strength, but the benefit of this exercise can only be taken so far before extra resistance is needed to take muscle even further- and this is usually a clear sign a gym membership is better.
Final Thoughts
Games have changed quite a bit over the decades- it's hard to imagine parents are now encouraging their kids to play them! With new technology comes many new wonders, and it will be truly exciting to see what the next wave of technology brings the health of today's youth.
