Buy Nintendo Wii

Though video games were never a first choice for physical activity, Nintendo's Wii may be an exception to the rule. The Wii and Wii Fit are proving to be much more interactive activities than the traditional game consoles. According to a Kansas State University researcher, game consoles like the Wii and game Wii Fit actually contribute to the promotion of physical activity for people of all ages. "Anything that gets people to move more than they have in the past is positive, but if people are trying to replace physical activity that demands more movement with the Wii, then that will be negative," Dzewaltowski says.
"Obesity has become an epidemic in the United States, and one of the reasons is the adults and children are getting less physical activity," says Owens, an associate professor of health and exercise science. "This potentially could help family fitness, so we are looking at the research aspect to see if family fitness improves after purchasing one of these whole body movement game consoles."
