EXERCISE WITH WII!

Nintendo designer, Shigeru Miyamoto, is presenting to America the "Wii Fit" a game that emerged from his recent obsession with weighing himself and that has sold, he says, close to 2 million copies in Japan.

It releases for the red-hot Nintendo Wii, which just sold 720,000 units in March, according to the NPD group, on May 19. The game will come with the Balance Board, a small exercise board that contains sensors that detect the player's balance. The sensors enable the game to not just weigh the player, but to control several dozen yoga, strength-training and aerobic activities — as well as play mini-game activities, such as ski jumping and soccer goalie.

COOL! Finally, a video game that means something. Get in shape and start understanding your body more by playing video games, you know, when you don't have the energy or motivation to get outside and just run for 30 minutes straight. It might help if you're like me and you need a personal trainer/coach/or others around you doing better to become motivated and keep up with an exercise.
