The Wii Fit: More Fun in French

GeekSugar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:00:45 -0800

There's nothing that Capucine does that is not mind-bendingly adorable. Here, the French video phenom tackles the Wii Fit, and even though she doesn't do too well (which she acknowledges), I am still jealous over the fact that my video game exercising never looked this cute.

Did You Get Fit From Your Wii Fit?

GeekSugar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 10:00:42 -0700

I was pretty surprised to hear that Wii Fit has just beaten Grand Theft Auto IV in video game sales - who woulda thunk it that the Nintendo-exercising contingent would best the shoot-em-up contingent?

If you followed my progress, you'd know that I lost a few pounds and gained some skills in my month-long Wii Fitness challenge, so I'm a believer, but that was several months ago.

While I did it largely as an experiment, I want to know if those of you who helped beat GTA IV and bought the Wii Fit, have actually gotten fitter as a result. Do tell!

Spotted: Wii Fit Yoga Mat at Target

GeekSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 06:00:37 -0700

I've been looking everywhere for a Wii Fit Yoga Mat ever since I saw it in the DreamGear Fitness Bundle, and behold - just yesterday I spotted the fit-worthy accessory in the game section of Target, and had to hold myself back from dropping it in my cart (gotta prioritize game accessories in this economy, right?). But I suppose the $30 price isn't too much to spend on my favorite Wii Fit exercise!

What other Wii Fit accessory did I find in the aisles that had my fingers itching to swipe my credit card? Find out when you read more.

A Balance Board Sleeve! This was in the same price range as the mat at $30 dollars, and kinda reminded me of a laptop sleeve since it was made out of the standard neoprene material, but hey - you gotta protect your investments, right?

Wii Fit fanatics, have I got the ultimate product for you. DreamGear has just come out with a Fitness Bundle that includes all the Wii Fit goodies you could ever want. For $60, you get a rechargeable battery pack, USB charging cable, jeli sleeve, fitness mat, travel bag, and one pair of "textured" socks. I've done the "bundle" math on this one, and it seems like one heck of a deal - just the Wii Fit Silicone Sleeves cost $20 alone!

Wii Fit Balance Board Silicone Sleeves: Love or Leave?

GeekSugar — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 15:45:00 -0700

Apparently what a geek wants is to coat all her gadgets in gels. They're ubiquitous among BlackBerrys and iPhones, and I've seen them for Mighty Mice (mouses?), and now: Silicone Sleeves for the Wii Fit Balance Board ($20).

I have a love/hate relationship with gel cases; while they're great at protecting your gear (especially in the case of a fall), the light ones tend to get discolored and murky looking, and they are lint-magnets (ever leave your gel-covered BlackBerry in your handbag with a floating tissue? Oy vey). I also haven't noticed that my balance board needs protecting, but the silicone might make a more comfortable surface underfoot. What do you think?
