Many lazy people like me were very happy with the idea of planning a fitness regime around the Wii Fit. Who wants to sweat it out in a gym instead of playing around with the Wii? Too bad, the Wiimote and Balance Board will have to be replaced with dumbbells and treadmill instead. In a recent interview Shigeru Miyamoto said that the Wii Fit is not supposed to make you fit! In his own words: "I forgot to mention something important earlier: I don't think Wii Fit's purpose is to make you fit; what it's actually aiming to do is make you aware of your body," he said. "That's why we wanted people to talk with their families about Wii Fit, and become aware of these things together as a group. If you're standing still, and it tells you "Your body is swaying", you can see on the training results screen that your body has been shaking. But I think you'd never realize that your body is shaking in day-to-day life. I think becoming aware of things like this about yourself is quite interesting."
