Wii comes to the Zone!

5-5-07: The Wii is finally in the Zone! While speaking at the AAHPERD conference last month, someone in the audience heard me lament that I couldn't find a Wii to buy since Dec. She passed it on to the PR Agency of Nintendo, Golin Harris, and next thing you know, we had a Wii sent to us!

They have asked us to do research on the Wii so it can be included in the list of activities in the President's Challenge (www.presidentschallenge.org), a free online program where you can log your exercise and earn points towwards a gold medal. We will be starting that research soon, so stay tuned! Have a doctoral student already lined up for it. ;-)

In the meantime, the Zone members are enjoying the Wii. Here in this picture, Leroy and Josh play tennis while Jake looks on.
