Back in 1982 when the VCR was revolutionizing the way the world watched television, a video titled Jane Fonda Workout was released. By playing the video tape, couch potatoes were able to observe the limber Jane Fonda in spandex and legwarmers performing assorted exercises. The video went on to sell millions of copies and a fitness craze was born.Wii Fit is sort of like that. Ever since Nintendo released the Wii Fit bundle in Japan, over a million units have shifted to eager consumers anxious to get a Wii powered workout in their living rooms. Instead of Jane Fonda (Barbarella to you and me), Wii Fit features non-descript characters who perform exercises on screen that you're supposed to mimic.
Since Wii Fit has a massive installed user base, Hori hopes to capitalize on the new fitness craze by releasing a Mat. When preordering from NCS, please ignore the fact that you can buy a rug at Home Depot for about $5 that would probably serve the same purpose. The Wii Fit Mat measures a tidy 183 x 61cm (72.04 x 24.01") in area and is made of a non-slip material that'll cling to your floor like a thick wedge of Saran Wrap. Preorder.
