'Biggest Loser' coach Jillian Michaels readies a fitness-themed Wii game for release at year-end.
Quote:
Game publisher Majesco Entertainment has announced a partnership with celebrity fitness trainer Jillian Michaels for an exercise-themed video game for the Nintendo Wii.
"Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2009," slated for a holiday release, leverages the motion-based Wii system and Balance Board accessory to create a title that combines solid game play with a fitness regimen, advice and exercise techniques provided by Michaels, the strength trainer and life coach on NBC's "The Biggest Loser."
"I truly think this type of product will be instrumental in revolutionizing the fitness industry and will help combat the childhood obesity epidemic in this country," Michaels said.

Don't know how much of a fitness "guru" she is, but I'm happy they are coming out with games/programs that uses the
Wii Board that I just got with
Wii Fit. And of course, getting people off their asses, and working out while also gaming is always a plus.
