"What Nintendo did is they tapped into that desire people have to be healthier..Everyone wants to work out, but nobody really wants to put the effort"

Many of my clients have asked me what I think of the new Wii Fit. I have mixed feeling as I've not even tried it just yet. However, reading the link below confirms my initial thoughts....

I applaud any effort people make to get into shape, but it takes a PERMANENT LIFESTYLE change in order to get the results you want. Purchasing Wii Fit, buying a treadmill, getting a gym membership, or going on the South Beach diet are all fine if you intend to use it to facilitate permanent change in the right direction. The problem most people have are 'good intentions', however, it takes action, persistance, and never giving up to attain any goal. No gimmick is going to change your life, YOU have to change.
