The Wii might be the kid’s gaming machine of the house, but most of the exercise games out there target adults, more specifically, women. Kids can take back their Wii with their own exercise game, and maybe get the whole family involved. Nickelodeon and 2K Games partnered to produce Nickelodeon Fit. Kids can keep fit with their favorite characters including Dora, Diego, Kai-lan and The Backyardigans. Nickelodeon says the game has a youthful emphasis on heart health, cardio, strength building and endurance.
With increasing reports of childhood obesity, Nickelodeon Fit is a welcome addition to the game console. Not only can kids get excited about exercise and develop a lifelong behavior of working out and staying fit, it might just get parents and kids playing and working out together.
