Fitness

The most popular New Years Resolution is losing weight and getting in shape and with more better technology than ever we can do so from our own homes on our games consoles and computers! Fitness games, like Nintendo wii  Fit and EA Sports were massive in 2008 and sold out of all retailers after a very short time. Nintendo then started bringing out games for the Nitendo games consoles which come with pedometers to monitor how many steps your doing each day. They can also count up your daily calorie intake and expenditure. There are now 100s of games available on the market. But the trend that’s really said to hit big this year is on line photo editing. Users upload a photo to various sites and the next day it is returned showing how that person would look at their desired weight. Unfortunately it is imminent that these pictures will probably be used as profile pictures on networking sites such as Face book and Twitter instead of the fitness motivational aids they were meant to be. At the end of the day all this technology is wonderful but does it really work better than eating a balanced diet and going out for a walk or a jog a few times a week?
