Weight Loss Wii Games

By MReed | December 30, 2011

Weight loss and video games don’t go together in most people’s minds. That is up until Wii and other interactive video games came into style.

Yoga and Fitness Programs with Wii

There is a fitness program that is offered by Wii that weighs you in and helps you keep track of your weight loss; not to mention setting up goals and accomplishment. It determines your body fat, of course you have to put in your accurate height; and it can be set to a level that won’t give the out of shape couch potato a heart attack first time out. We hope. Wii also offers an incredible yoga program. Now I’m not a big yoga enthusiast, but my significant other is. She absolutely loves the yoga routines and feels far fitter, healthier and even manages to lose weight if she religiously sticks to the program. That of course is the whole problem though isn’t it? Sticking to the program. I, on the other hand prefer the games.

Let the Games Began

Golfing; tennis; downhill skiing; boxing; kickboxing and even jogging are all capable of being accomplished with the proper equipment and the right Wii games. ‘Experts’ have listed the top 10 Wii games for weight loss: at number 10-Hottest Party 3, Dance Dance Revolution; Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games is number nine; number eight is Wii Sports Resort; number six-My Fitness Coach (this is more on the lines of the fitness program previously mentioned than a game); next is Samba de Amigo; number four is Punch Out (I love this); coming in at number three is We Cheer Second Edition; the second most weight loss oriented Wii game is Wii Fit Plus (another fitness program) and number one on the list of Wii games that will help you peel off those holiday cookies and feasts is Gold’s Gym Cardio Workout…

With the Wii, weight loss becomes a plug and play activity. You can even use a body mass index for men or women to keep track of your progress. Just make sure your cardio can take the workout!
