The biggest difference between the Wii fitness games and the classic workout tapes is that the Wii fitness games engage the exerciser. The games physically and mentally motivate the person to work out harder and will get the average video gamers to work out and stay fit.
This article by the Los Angeles Times picks the top four personal training video games that will get you exercising and whip you into shape. They include Wii Fit Plus, Your Shape, EA sports Active, and The Biggest Loser. The EA Sports Active exercise game blends athletic-style training with short sports bursts such as jogging, rollerblading, basketball and tennis to keep you interested.
This is a perfect way to get a workout in at home. In order to get more out of a workout, you need to be excited about it, and motivated! I workout 5-6 hours in the pool, I do it because it is fun for me and I love Water Polo – I also have a team expecting me to be in top shape. These games, like all video games, encourage you to come back and continue to “beat the game,” or continue to work out.
The Wii fitness games gives you an opportunity to be creative with your workout and get into shape by having fun! What is holding you back from a quality work out? Are you held back due to prior physical injuries? Take care of your physical injuries and try these new fitness games.
