There was some confusion as to why the Nintendo Wii got the American Health Association's stamp of approval, but the new Wii Rowing Machine lays to rest the traditional notion of video games as unhealthy. Who knew sitting around and playing video games all day could actually sculpt your abs?
CTA Digital has created and released the Wii rowing machine, which comprises a plastic foot pedal that's supposed to be "very similar to a rowing machine you would find at a gym." It's time to cancel that gym membership and hop on board the video game fitness phenomena!
