High-Tech Weight-Loss Tools
Fitness Video Games
How they work: Pop an activity-oriented game (anything from dancing to ski jumping) into your Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, or Xbox 360 and
log in a workout without leaving your living room.
How they help: The variety of options makes this an ideal solution if you’re tired of just loping along on a treadmill. Although you typically
won’t burn as many calories as you would doing the real thing, studies indicate that workout games help people stick with
an exercise routine, and consistency is the name of the game when it comes to fitness-related health benefits. Games are also
a good way to get the whole family involved in exercise.
Check out: Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012 ($30, xbox.com), for the Xbox 360 with Kinect, lets you engage in various activities, including cardio boxing and yoga. The Zumba Fitness
2 ($40, zumbafitnessgame.com for stores), for the Nintendo Wii, is an upbeat cardio-dance workout.
