If You Can?t Beat Them, Join Them!
Over the last 20 years we have heard government after government complain that the young of today were spending too much time on their computers. Research showed that people were becoming fatter and fatter and family time around the table has all but disappeared. It seems that everything from the desktop to the internet to the games consoles was to blame. Each and every attempt to get kids off their games consoles failed, so now it looks like the ?If You Can?t Beat Them, Join Them? theory is back in town!
Recently we have seen the introduction of a number of brain games to consoles such as the Wii, but it is the Wii Fit package which is catching the eye of the consumer. The package comes with a vast number of exercises and a Wii Balance Board on which to carry out your tasks. The ?game? is fun yet it has also been shown to have a very beneficial affect on the overall health and fitness of players. The Fit package has not just been thrown together, it is a carefully crafted plan of different exercises which can be ?played? by all of the family.
Are Games Consoles The Future?
It seems sensible that with so many homes in possession of games consoles, that some kind of exercise package would catch on. The news that the Wii Fit package has sold out in many places before pre-orders have even been despatched will not go unnoticed by competitors of the Wii.
The Games Console market tends to work in fashion trends and the latest fashion seems to be fitness programs, allowing you to have fun and exercise at the same time. It will be interesting to see the direction of future fitness programs, as the Wii Fit is only the first of many we can expect to hit the market over the coming months and years.
