Everyone loves the Wii. Nintendo is incredibly giving and has a very positive image. So what do they do? They take their awesome product and donate 100 party packs to YMCA chapters Nationwide to keep families entertained and active.

Starting April 14th, the YMCA chapters will incorporate active Wii games into their Healthy Kids Day events.

“Consumers all over America are telling us the Wii helps them to stay
active and fit and also gives them another reason to be together as a family,” says George Harrison, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. “Wii has quickly become a part of America’s fitness plan, from bowling leagues for active seniors to kids and parents who sweat through Wii Sports pentathlons together.”

One can definitely get a workout doing Wii sports. It’s nice to see that kids will be encouraged to be active in playing a game and not just sit down. It will be interesting to see if more people adapt the Wii into their households to try and keep families active and at a healthy weight.
