There are a small amount of titles available right now that are geared just towards making you sweat; workout “games” that challenge your lazy, fast food styles.

Wait, no, those are MY styles.  Sorry!

Let’s check out the workout-specific titles - we own a few, and we love them!  The essential, seemingly instigating game/controller is the Wii Fit (and Balance Board), so let’s start with that:

Wii Fit - the game keeps track of your activity, tests your endurance and balance, teaches you some Yoga, and makes fun of you when you either don’t do much or you don’t play for a few weeks.  You gotta love a persistent title!  The game comes with the Balance Board and the Wii Fit disc.  There are tons and tons and tons of accessories for the Wii Fit Balace Board, check them out when you have a minute.

My Fitness Coach is something my wife has been playing - I wrote a post about this a few days ago, and my wife seems to enjoy the game.  It’s a motivator - helps push you to maintain speed and endurance, and gives you motivation!  It’s on sale right now for $19.97!

Ok, Jillian Michaels is hot.  She’s hot, and she has a workout title for Wii.  Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009 is the title.  I’ve heard acceptable reviews of the game - it’s the workout that’s important, right?  Check out a trailer below:

Now last on this list is Gold’s Gym Cardio Workout.  This is another title I have not played, and before I went looking, hadn’t heard much about it.  Gold’s Gym Cardio Workout is going to be released on March 31, 2009 - but you can preorder the title here.

It looks like we’re going to see some more Wii games type games soon - which will be great once we wear out Wii Fit and the snowboarding titles that are coming out.  Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum 2009, from Majesco.  From the good folks at Eurogamer:

Dubbed Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum 2009, this is another one all about being fit not fat, headed by US exercise star Jillian Michaels, unsurprisingly.

She’s a tough-talking martial arts expert who headed a US game show that challenged contestants to lose as much weight as they could. One lucky contestant dropped a massive 37 per cent to win USD 250,000.

“I truly think this type of product will be instrumental in revolutionizing the fitness industry and will help combat the childhood obesity epidemic in this country,” Michaels told Reuters.

Well, we’re down for Wii Fit games - look for a review once it comes out!
