Scott Rhodie is a 34-year-old video game journalist who believes that beer, fast food, and late nights are the staple diet of life.

Keen to lose some of his holiday kilos, Rhodie decided to use Nintendo’s popular game Wii Fit for two weeks, IGN Australia reports.

Wii Fit uses mini-games, a balance board and motion-sensitive controls to measure the player’s movements.

The "Wii Fit Body Channel" provides users advice based on their Wii Fit data as well as the data from walking DS title Aruite Wakaru Sekatsu Rhythm DS. It’s becoming possible for individuals using Wii Fit to have their data measured and then get advice sent via email to their Wiis.

Since last December, NEC and NEC mobile began a cell phone version of the "Wii Fit Body Check Channel." Starting this April, the NEC Group (NEC and NEC Mobile) will launch a hosted Wii Fit Channel aimed at employees and their families. The company hopes to offer this service outside NEC in the future.

Most people would not describe working out as a pleasurable experience, but nobody said that it has to be complete torture. That’s where these silicone covers for your Wii Fit balance board can help.

The acupressure dots that cover the top of the pad act as a massaging agent for your feet—plus it should provide extra traction when you are dizzy with effort and sliding on your own slippery sweat. The only problem is that I don’t think that Wii Fit is all that it is cracked up to be in the first place.

A fter suffering a severe infection at a young age, Nicole Cahill was left with severe motor disabilities and a high probability that she might never walk again.

Implementing the use of Wii Fit has become an increasingly popular trend in the world of physical therapy. It has even been used to help people walk again, as is the case with ten-year-old Nicole Cahill from Marshaltown, Ireland.

…

After six months of rehabilitation treatment at Beth Israel, including the use of Wii Fit, Nicole Cahill amazed friends and family with her progress as she took her first steps in four years. The game was a key tool in her recovery as it incorporated both balance and stretch exercises, which were vital while working to strengthen her muscles. Mrs. Cahill stated that "the Wii Fit has really helped," and that it has "taken an awful lot of pressure off her as well."

Everyone knows Nintendo is pro exergaming. Personal Trainer: Walking is scheduled to come out in the USA this year, but the DS “game” and bundled pedometer isn’t a full follow up to Wii Fit. Perhaps, Nintendo Active Health is.

I discovered Nintendo registered this trademark in the depths of the OHIM, Europe’s trademark database on January 8, 2009. At first I believed it was a European name for Personal Trainer: Walking, but in the UK the game is known as Walk with me! Do you know your walking routine?. However, Nintendo was careful to register translated names for this title such as Laufrhythmus DS Bring Bewegung in dein Leben! and ¡Camina conmigo! Conoce el ritmo de vida de tu familia in the European trademark database. Nintendo even went the extra mile to register Nintendo Actimeter, the name for the device in multiple languages too.

Google used its booth at Macworld this year to show off some of the things it was working on with Apple, particularly for the iPhone. But the coolest thing at their booth didn’t have much to do with Apple at all: A hacked Nintendo Wii Balance Board (from the game Wii Fit) used to control Google Earth.

Using the Google Earth application programming interface (API), a Google engineer was able to get the Balance Board to talk to the program after decoding the Bluetooth packets being sent from the board (that’s how the device wirelessly interacts with a machine like the Nintendo Wii). The result (which you can see in the video below) allows users to move forward by leaning forward, move backwards by leaning back, etc.
