This running shoe features a leather and mesh upper, a Play Dry moisture-wicking lining, a Hexalite cushioning system in the heel, and reflective material on the upper for night visibility. Play Dry is a base layer which removes moisture, accelerates evaporation, increases ventilation and reduces abrasion without trapping the body's thermal energy.Exercises for all ages
Let's get this right: Wii Fit is for all ages. An elaborate Setup guides you through your first steps and helps configuring the Board. You go through a test to find out your Body-Mass Index and body control skills. Wii Fit shows you your personal Wii Fit age. But don't you worry, even if you seem to be old enough to collect your pension according to the machine, it will stay right at your side on your way to a Fitness Professional.
Motivation
More than 50 different exercises, ranging from Yoga, muscle gain, aerobic and balance are available. A virtual Personal Trainer assists you, showing difficult Yoga exercises and explaining complicated movements. Clever motivation by incentives make you stay on the board for hours, while your PT gives you the heads up with spoken reassurances. Little tricky balance games like ski jumping challenge folks to go for the big points.
The Sweat Factor
Don't you believe Wii Fit is for the women folk or Sunday Sports Fans only. After a few correctly executed exercises you'll find yourself sweating really good. Now, your next door body builder probably won't find Wii Fit especially rewarding, but then this might not be exactly the targeted costumer. But, if you want to regularly work out from the comfort of your home, this is definitely worth a try.
A little hint at the end: You should get yourself some spare AA rechargeable batteries and a charger. If you use Wii Fit regularly, it runs out of juice too fast. This can be annoying, believe me.
OK, this might not be a sole substitute for outdoor activities and other sports altogether, but it's a very good resource for funny and even entertaining exercises, which will do you good, no doubt about it. And it sure beats endless and boring hours on the running board or on your fitness bike.
