Cure for Fat People?
Filed Under: Sport, The Wall of Technology
Â
On 25th April, fat and lazy people can get their hands on the latest Wii add-on called Wii Fit and then combine playing on the console with actually getting some exercise.
The Wii Fit comes with a “Balance Board” which looks like a set of bathroom scales and is filled with pressure sensors that measure weight and body movements. There are 4 different training categories (aerobic exercises, muscle workouts, yoga and balance games) and about 40 different games to exercise to.
You also get a Wii Fit training programme and instructions based upon how you perform and information about your body mass and your Wii age.
Sounds like the perfect solution to rising levels of obesity. However, is this really a good substitute for getting outside and getting some fresh air as well? Fat people also need to do something about their diet as a bit of exercise isn’t going to give a great deal of weight loss if you’re still eating lard and chips.
I have also heard that there is a weight limit to use the balance board. Seems like really fat people won’t be able to use it. Oh, the irony.
