A New Fitness Game

Due to...well...life, I am not able to make it to the gym on a regular basis. While I know this is an excuse and I could make it to the gym if I really wanted, it really is just so much easier to workout at home. Considering the popularity of fitness games I am pretty sure I am not the only one. Now Konami, the makers of Dance Dance Revolution, are throwing their hat into the ring.

Recently Konamo announced that they are working on Walk It Out a new fitness game to help get us off the couch and moving. In order to track movement, Walk It Out will be compatible with the Wii remote, balance board, or the Dance Dance Revolution mat.

Just as music was important in DDR, it will be an important aspect here as well. Walk It Out is not just about walking, but walking to the beat of the background music. The game will contain over 120 songs that include "Boom Boom Pow" by the Black Eyed Peas, "La La Land" by Demi Lovato, and "How Do You Sleep?" by Jesse McCartney.

Even with mini games, I am not sure if Walk It Out would hold my attention for a long period of time, but I do look forward to giving it a try. With a TBA release date, I am sure there will be plenty of other fitness games available to round out a workout program and keep people interested in getting fit. If nothing else, hopefully the music in Walk It Out will get us up and walking at least a couple times a week.
