Can a video game get you in shape? The popular video game system “Wii” is making that promise with its new counterpart “Wii Fit”.
It’ll cost you $300 dollars for the Wii system and another 89 for the Wii Fit game. So, we wanted to know if it was worth it. We took the Wii fit to the trainers at “Fitness on the Move” in Fort Myers. They spent the weekend testing it.
“Both your legs are working that’s what’s so great about it,” said one trainer about the lunge portion of the workout.
“Oh there’s a hill on this bridge have to go higher!” said another trainer while doing the running portion.
How did the trainers feel the system worked?
“Overall impression? It’s a wonderful tool,” said trainer Ozzie Uriarte.
