Another closet-clogging "perfect gift" to pump up their balance sheet.

I tried it out and it was fun. Much like the NY Times article about it last week, I don't think it'll replace exercise for serious gym goers, but for someone like me (talks a big game about going to the gym but never goes that often), I think it could be motivating to get me moving a little more. Now if I could only get a Wii.

This is good for all those couch pah-tatas out there, but one downside of the Wii Fit is that it uses BMI to measure fitness levels. If BMI were accurate, most professional athletes would be in the "overweight" or "obese" category, since BMI doesn't consider overall muscle mass, just total weight in relation to height and age.

This is a big time update on the PowerPad and Track and Field game that came with the original Nintendo.

I'm not sure how much of an actual workout routine this could be a part of, but it still looks like fun. It's a great idea by Nintendo and they'll probably sell a ton of them.

I walked by this today. It looked like a pretty cool promotion.

Jogging is a much better way to get fit. This won't really give you any aerobic exercise. Fun though.
