What if your Wii game says you're fat? Interesting article...

Just came across Games Inc. Help! My Wii Says I’m Fat - BusinessWeek which discusses the new Nintendo Wii - a game that uses the player's motions with a video to make the game interactive.

The debate is about the fitness level this new module will give the user, from a body mass indicator - bmi - like this one Calculate your BMI - Standard BMI Calculator

I'm just glad that there are video games now that give kids (and adults) the opportunity to move more than their thumbs and fingers.

I can finally say that I actually like a game system. The Wii is a great way to work off some energy and it does really get kids off their 'butts' and moving.

I love playing the bowling game with my son. The boxing is also fun..think I kinda surprised my son when I showed interest in that one. lol

Now baseball was kinda strange. At first I could not hit the ball at all and I knew I looked really funny trying to do so..at least my son sure thought so with all the chuckles coming out of him. lol

I know they have workout programs as well as the sports and games. I think there is enough offered for a Wii that most everyone will like owning one.

I'd love to get a Wii but a bigger TV is on my list first..

My son got a Wii Fit and it knows not to tell me that I'm fat...I'll throw it out the door. lol

It is a great way to exercise but I still like the bowling game the best.
