As Covert Bailey might say “any activity is better than no activity” - so combining video game play with exercise seems like a great way to get the kids off the couch (and some 30 somethings for that matter). More info from the source - moveyourwii.com. If anyone has actually tried this thing, drop me a note. At first glance it appears a bit cumbersome - but what fitness equipment doesn’t, right?
