My Fitness Coach

My Fitness Coach

My wife’s been using this game in her work out sessions – My Fitness Coach is a title that gives you a motivator of sorts to work out with.  The motivator keeps you kicking and working hard during the workout with words of encouragement and the drive to go harder in the workout.

If it keeps my wife motivated during exercise, then I bet it will keep you motivated!

Amazon has My Fitness Coach for UNDER $20 right now – I don’t remember what we paid, but it certainly was more than $20!

Check out a quick video of My Fitness Coach:

Apparently Wii Is the New Social Hub

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

According to an article in the Belfast Telegraph, Wii is the new social hub for people:

The message is clear; a Wii is the new social hub, it coaxes gloomy teenagers out of their bedrooms and weans them off Grand Theft Auto. A Wii does not warp fragile young minds. Wii stands for wholesome, healthy family values. It’s even got brain training and fitness applications.

Read the article – short, but makes sense.

Wii Fit 5-in-1 Bundle from Dreamgear

Friday, June 20th, 2008

I know we just posted an article about Dreamgear’s 5-in-1 bundle that’s up for pre-order on Amazon, but we figured that it was about time to give some more in-depth information about it – the activity regarding this package was pretty fantastic!

Let’s break this down. The package itself comes with a silicone sleeve for your Wii balance board, three (3) pairs of textured fitness socks, a carrying bag for your balance board, a yoga-style mat to use with the balance board, a battery pack for the board, and a USB cable to charge the pack. For under 60 bucks, this is a heck of a package.

Let’s take a look at all of the pictures:

The whole Dreamgear 5-in-1 Wii Fit Package.

The carrying case – like a gym bag for your balance board.

The battery pack – a pack that fits into the battery slot for the balance board, obviously, along with the USB charge cable for it.

The Jeli Sleeve for the balance board – a silicone protectorate for the accessory.

The balance board mat – like a yoga mat, and for those of you who have hard wood floors like we do, this will be ESSENTIAL!

And finally, the Textured Fitness Socks – we think these are probably catered to be non-slip, or at least slip-resistant.

We hope this helps! Amazon has this package on pre-order, so what we recommend is, if you want one, go get it now before it goes the way of all other Wii-related things – sold out, and on back order!

Wii Fit sells a million units!

Monday, January 14th, 2008

Since the release of Wii Fit in Japan in December, over a million unit sales have been recorded. Due to this rapid sales stint in Japan, Wii Fit has proven to be one of the fastest selling games in this new generation of games and consoles.

Wii Fit is a first-of-its-kind type of game, with the main attraction being a balance-board type device that acts as the primary controller. The Wii Fit Balance Board controller is designed to determine your weight and center of gravity, and acts as the liaison between the Wii and a real workout.

There has been no concrete release date for the United States yet for Wii Fit; as soon as we know, you’ll know. You can sign up on Amazon to be notified of Wii Fit’s release and availability.
