With the majority of college-aged students overweight, low amounts of physical activity are to blame. Traditional video games are yet another distraction, preventing young people from getting up off the couch. That was until video gaming system company Nintendo created the Wii Fit, a fitness training video game.
Wii Fit combines the fun of video gaming and the exercise of a normal workout. It uses a balance board in addition to the regular gaming controllers, which allows gamers to check their body mass index, center of balance and body control.
Wii Fit has a variety of 40 exercises, activities and stretches. It places users on a level according to the own statistics shown by the BMI, balance skills and body control.
