I’d have to say that this is one of the coolest ideas to happen in gaming.  I was able to experience, first hand, the capabilities and enjoyment of the Wii Fit a few months ago….I know, I know, I’m a slacker blogger because I’ve not written about it or anything else in months.  I digress, so back to the blog at hand, I had been hearing about a “fitness” video game for some time and my thoughts were much like the general public’s thoughts…why?!  I’ll tell you why my fine friends, because it’s not just a fitness ploy, it’s actually addictive games that incorporate the muscles.  From things like hula hooping (hilarious to perform and watch being performed) and ski jumping to Yoga.  Yes I said Yoga and if you have ever done Yoga you will be impressed with the workout that your core and contributing muscles receive while trying to keep a tiny little blue dot within the appropriate parameters on the screen based on the slightest movements you have while on the balance board.  It is absolutely wild how sensitive and accurate the board is.   Back to ski jumping, I laughed so hard watching my teammates attempt to outscore one another while bending at the knee whooshing down the slopes and then bam, standing up just in time for lift off that some of them actually teetered on the edge of the board as if they would fall hundreds of feet if they stepped off to others who held their breath when they lifted off because it truly feels like you are ski jumping.  It was so much fun with a group and I can see where it would be a great tool for someone to engage in solo activity.  This is a must have people, if you enjoy playing the sports pack that comes with your Wii, this will knock your socks off with the single and social aspect of the unit.  Too much fun!
