Do wii really need a Wii Fit to exercise?

Have we come to an age where we can't just exercise on our own? Do we really need a gaming console to help us get fit? Or is the Wii Fit a fun new way to get in shape? This blog will track me, an average Joe, in my pursuit to find out if the Wii Fit really does help you lose weight and get in shape. It will also compare this new idea of how to stay in shape against the tried and tested conventional ways. Follow me as I track my progress and give my thoughts on this new exercise phenomenon.
