Nintendo calls you overweight. ”
Wii Fit,” Nintendo’s most broadly targeted creation yet, has you “playing” more than 40 exercises based around the packed-in balance board, which monitors shifts in your weight as you do everything from push-ups to yoga. Step aerobics, for instance, have you marching on and off the board to on-screen cues, transforming your living room into a giant, healthy game of ”
Guitar Hero.”
What really sets “Wii Fit” apart from other exercise games is its personal touch – setting monthly weight goals and tracking daily progress is addictive. The marriage of fitness with the psychological hook of gaming (gotta get the high score in skiing!) will especially thrill the non-gamer woman bored with her Winsor Pilates tapes.
