Woman loses weight with the Wii

Sherry Bridson, a South Lyon resident, lost 98 pounds using the Wii Fit her husband bought for her. She started out with a 30-minute routine and worked her way up to her current 90-minute routine. Bridson is a Wii Fit success story, and part of the growing trend of people who are getting fit the Wii way or getting fit through other exergaming titles. Now days you can walk through a video game aisle and see many exergame titles available and The American Council on Exercise (ACE) named technology-based fitness one of its top 10 trends of 2009. Exergaming can be good for people who don't care for gyms or group fitness classes, but as with any fitness program, you get out of it, what you put in to it.
