Oui, Oui, We Want The Wii

Fun And (Virtual) Games

Wii Are The World

Nintendo Workout Is In The Fitness Of Things

A Canadian health club is offering a new form of exercise for people bored with the treadmill or cycling classes - the Wii Workout Station. Studio 55 in Vancouver has incorporated a Nintendo Wii into circuit training where users can punch, run and jump with the system's movement-sensitive controller. While some other gyms have combined stationary bikes with PlayStations and Xboxes in a bid to win younger clients Nintendo Canada said this is the first they have heard of a gym using the Wii in its schedule.
