CONGRATULATIONS TO Wii Get Moving on winning the PTPA Seal of Approval!
Ty, is a video game enthusiast, book worm and loves to watch science channels on TV…all not fabulous ways to get his much needed exercise! I have to admit, his lack of interest in sports and physical activity is worrisome to me. He is a smart kid who will read his book on the front step while his friends ride their bikes.
So how do you inspire a boy like Ty to get active but make it fun and enjoyable so they want to do it more?
Make a kid-friendly Wii fitness video game!!!
Testing this amazing product was such a blast! Ty loved to play the sports against other kid avatars (or against me) while he was exploring exotic surroundings like Atlantis, Volcanoes or even the Jurassic Period. Kids can choose where they want their activities to take place, while never leaving their home! His favorite was the flying race game (what kid wouldn’t LOVE to be able to fly)!
The games are fun, but challenging and not discouraging like some of the older sports games from Wii (yes, Ty also loves to win!). Even our 3 year old got involved with some help! Brooke Burke (fitness guru, mom to 4 kids, blogger and Dancing With the Stars host), is the perfect personality to lead the adventures. She offers great tips on adding fitness and nutrition to your family’s routine and she is a great opponent for the sports activities (she kicked my butt!).
Check out a great video of the Wii Get Moving experience.
As fall approaches and indoor activities will once again be the norm, I feel confident ‘Get Moving’ will be the go-to activity for our family to continue to make fitness fun and a family affair!
