If you are not lucky enough to work in an office that holds hula hoop contests or has a started a building wide stair master craze, then the Wii Fit video game may just be just the thing for you.
Nintendo is targeting the growing breed of casual gamers who also have an affinity for eastern forms of exercise. Makes sense, whenever I feel I need to clear my mind I reach for my wireless Guitar Hero controller and battle with Slash (he usually wins though). But to trump my faux rocker meditation time, Wii Fit is also providing aerobic exercises on top of that.
I remember back in the day when I had to do the Downward-Facing Dog and had to force myself not to snicker during yoga class. Those days can now be long gone!
Here’s a really in depth review on the game from wired.com.
And the whole shebang on the Nintendo site.
Tim's note: I was at Best Buy this weekend and, lo and behold, no WiiFit display. Unusual, wouldn't you say? And, Jenn, if you thought Down Dog is funny, you should see Dead Bug pose.
