Christmas is over once again. Many of you, as I have in the past, are thinking of shedding a few pounds to get back in shape after the festive period.
Last year saw the release of Wii-Fit. This was the flagship game that came bundled with the balance board, Nintendos new peripheral. Ultimately this is a glorified weighing scales. There are 4 sections to this board, and each corner houses a pressure sensitive sensor.
The game itself (Wii Fit) has 4 areas to utilise.
Aerobic - This concentrates on cardiovascular work outs. These are the ones that get the heart pumping and the fat burning, or that's the idea anyway!
Balance - These games are to focus on improving your balance and posture.
Yoga - Different poses to strengthen the body, improve circulation and posture.
Muscle - High impact exercises to help build/strengthen muscles.
Due to time constraints, finances and a whole host of other excuses that slip my mind at the moment, I am unwilling to join the gym.
So what better way to test the wii fit metal, but to carry out a case study.
Over the next 100 days I will test the wii fit work outs, as well as cutting back on the junk food to see what results can be gained.
This is by no means a scientific test, but it will give us a rough idea all being well.
The first day of the test will be Saturday 10th January 2009.
