Wii Fit for Kids

Every parent is looking for a way to get their kids off the couch and exercising. In a study by the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, energy expenditure can increase by more than 100% when kids play active video games such as Wii Fit Plus over a seated traditional video game.¹ Fitness on the Wii won't necessarily replace traditional exercise, but it can certainly promote healthy fitness habits in a fun, interactive video game experience. Kids can play fun games while doing aerobics, strength training, cardio, balance and yoga exercises.
