Okay, I know I am a bit behind the craze, but Nintendo ® Wii ™ is amazing and I am addicted! I recently tried out the game, Boogie SuperStar and all I can say is, I must be out of shape!  I started to break a sweat after only 20 minutes of playing. It is fun and I actually feel like I am getting a work-out, or am I?

There have been a lot of arguments for and against Wii and the fitness benefits that it entails. This is what I get from the whole phenomenon – it may not be an option for a hardcore cardiovascular work-out (such as running or kick-boxing), but it definitely does get an individual motivated and work off his/her booty! (Which is an improvement for the inactive population). On top of that, Wii challenges its players, as you get better at a particular skill, the game is designed to make the activity more difficult.

April! Congrats, you will receive a starter kit from SENSA. Here is what April had to say:

“I need this in my life- not because losing an extra an pounds will make my life perfect, but because I want to be HEALTHY because you are only as beautiful as you feel, and when you are healthy you are BEAUTIFUL. Beauty fades, but what you do NOW will affect your health LATER…we only have ONE body and we should be treating it like the temple it is! Using the body’s natural psychology is an in-genius approach to weight loss, as opposed to starvation or extreme diets and exercise.”

Thanks for entering the contest, as well as your continued Beauty Chat support =)
