June 30, 2008 - Markdownmall.com, a new site featuring 200,000+ items, has chosen to discount the Nintendo Wii in an effort to promote exercise and weight loss. Over the last several holiday seasons, Wiis have been difficult to find, and extremely costly. Markdownmall.com is hoping to reverse that trend and make this form of recreational exercise more easily available.
The Nintendo Wii is available with a five-in-one sport game package, which includes tennis, golf, baseball, bowling and boxing. Of these games, boxing was found to give users the best workout, even topping out more traditional forms of exercising, such as power walking.
Research suggests that with child obesity on the rise, and the emphasis on sports and outdoor recreation declining among youth, Wii may be a vital tool in inspiring children to exercise. After all, Wii is a video game, and video games are fun. New research suggests that Wii may also encourage users to actively pursue the sports they are virtually introduced to.
