Are Wii Fitness Games Like Wii Active The Next Trend In Home Fitness?

In May of 2009, the well known software giants behind Electronic Arts launched a new product fittingly named (pun intended) wii active. The Wii Active was developed specifically to compete with Nintendo’s wildly popular Wii Fit which was rolled out just six months earlier. Its first line of business wass to announce to the public the big amount of savings they’ll make when the price tags of the two software technologies are placed side by side. The popular Wii Fit is priced at $90, whereas the new Wii Active is available for about $30 less, priced around $60.

With the lower price tag coupled with more intense workouts like the 30-day challenge set up by Oprah’s own fitness guru Bob Greene, the Wii Active can be the next trend when it comes to exercising. The days of kids popping Mario Brothers into their favorite gaming system and sitting on their duff are gone. Although Wii Active is geared towards young and old alike, adults can benefit from this “game” because of its interactive nature, which keeps the exercises more interesting on a daily basis. It’s obvious that these games are aimed at inciting interest from the older market.


With the release of the Wii Active, I’m sure that more and more people will turn to technology for their health and fitness. Why? For starters, it will save them a trip to the gym as well as the associated membership fee. Users will be able to do intense and rigorous workout programs from their very own living room, with the help of expert guides to boot. All the viewers need to do is watch and actively participate in these workout videos. Plus, the visuals will help them in their focus during the entire routine. It truly is one of the greatest innovations in the realm of health and fitness.
