The Nintendo Wii is my favorite video game system, and it just got even better! Nintendo has announced that it will launch a new set of fitness games designed to help users lose weight! There will also be a new balance board which will act as a scale and will also be able to determine your body's center of gravity. The new fitness games will track your BMI and weight loss progress.

You can read more about these exciting new products by clicking the link below:

Personally, we love the Wii! We have actually lost weight playing the games with the Wii because it's motion sensored controllers require you to actually get up off your butt to play! You can read more about our love of the wii by clicking this link:

Thanks for sharing! So far, knowing my addiction rate to video games, this is the only one I would even consider buying.

I have read of people losing weight with the Wii. It is great that they are coming out with some fitness games. Hopefully they will be fun and you won't even think about the fact that you are working out, just having fun.

You know I really think that if you are truly serious about exercise, you should shut off the Wii, get outside and hike a trail, climb a mountain, swim a lake, or play real tennis....the people that made this new game are only interested in easing your conscious that staying inside and spending your money can help with weight loss....

Go for the real thing....

This sounds fantastic. I need to lose a Wii bit of weight!!

love the new WII games - great idea but must admit I must join this new group called "Internetaholics Anonymous" first...

It works wonders too; after five minutes and can't figure out how to work the game you start juggling that game box and bouncing them off object, then pounding as the frustration of destroying a five hundred dollar game sets in, you begin on the vcr/dvd and then the television!!! Guaranteed to lose 20 pounds within hours!

What this is "Internetaholics Anonymous"?

I thought I was in the "International Atomic Alliance" web site!

This is a great idea to get the kids moving if they are going to play video games.

Excellent idea! It is about time as Americans seem to become more sedentary. This will be beneficial for the kids.
