Video Gaming to Aid Weight Loss - The Newest Craze

With the popularity of the Wii and its buzz about physical activity benefits, it was only a matter of time before other gaming systems introduced programs for non-gamers. Specifically to cash in on the weight loss wave, Nintendo has introduced "My Weight Loss Coach" to lure customers in a potentially huge market.

"Play To Lose" 

My Weight Loss Coach

Nintendo has introduced a new "game" for the popular DS system designed to help you lose weight by encouraging you to adopt healthier lifestyle habits. The game was developed with the assistance of a nutritionist and teaches you easy ways to incorporate healthy habits in to your everyday life.

The game comes with a pedometer that records the steps you take and can help you stay on top of your goals. The pedometer plugs in to the DS system to upload your progress.

What Do You Think? 

Are Health Programs Like This Effective or Just A Novelty?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Anything that helps people improve their health is great!

JigsawForte says:

Well, I've had trouble keeping up with books and ordinary fitness equipment -- but I can't keep my hands off my Nintendo DS! It's at least worth a shot if it'll help otherwise unmotivated people to start taking charge of their fitness!

They're just a fad that will fade away...

GypsyPirate says:

I think it will be up to the buying public - if they continue to show interest in this type of game and demand more, then it will carry on. But Nintendo isn't likely to pursue it without public demand.

I hadn't realized Nintendo had come out with a 'game' to compete with the Wii-Fit. I think it's a great idea, thanks for the lens to make me aware of it.
