" I&amp;#039;m no gamer, but I must admit to being somewhat intrigued by Nintendo&amp;#039;s new game called Wii Fit. If you haven&amp;#039;t heard about this, here&amp;#039;s the deal: It&amp;#039;s an exergame (sort of like Dance Dance Revolution) that combines videogaming with physical activity so users are entertained and distracted from the realization that they&amp;#039;re exercising. It&amp;#039;s quite brilliant, actually.   Players stand on an electronic balance board (the game controller) that responds to their movements through built-in sensors. Each move the player makes dictates the actions of his or her avatar on the TV screen. It sounds like a bad sci-fi film or something from the Jetsons, but you really need to see it in action.  Wii Fit lists 40 activities and games that include both unconventional and traditional workout styles such as strength training, aerobics, balance games and yoga, and can even track your progress over time to see if your fitness level is improving.  At $90\u2014plus $250 for the gaming console\u2014it still costs less than a gym membership, but definitely costs more than a workout DVD!
