Get off the couch with the help of these awesome exercise video games.

Active Life (Wii)

Later this year, Namco Bandai Games will release Active Life: Outdoor Challenge for the Wii. The game features various activities that require physical motions with both the Wii remote and an included floor mat. These include riding in a mine cart while keeping balance and jumping over gaps, smashing gophers with your feet (ala Whac-a-Mole) and running down a track full of lasers. From what we've played, Active Life is a lot of fun, especially with friends.

Can't believe EyeToy: Kinetics isn't on here. Easily better than WiiFit.

I have the wii fit and it definately is a workout. Plus you get to do yoga, stregthening exercises, aerobics, and then you get various games like hula hoops, ski slalom, ski jumps, tight rope walking, boxing, dodging soccer balls, and theres even a step/dance type game too. Not to mention the balance board weighs you, and gives you your BMI and helps you with your overall balance. I've only had it for about a week now and I've already lost some weight and my clothes fit better too! Its about time that we get a fun way to burn some calories!
