SEGA Announces Daisy Fuentes Pilates for the Wii

With budgets stretched thin, moms everywhere are turning to ‘exergames’ — fun ways to get fit at home. Yesterday, SEGA announced Daisy Fuentes Pilates for the Wii – offering a personalized, private Pilates class, right in your living room.

For the cost of three group Pilates sessions, practitioners get customizable workouts led by Daisy, taking advantage of the Wii and the Balance Board to provide real-time feedback, ensuring that you are mastering the fundamentals before moving to the next level.

Some features unique to the title are:

· First Pilates experience designed for the Wii and the Wii Balance Board
· Provides real-time feedback to improve players positioning and moves
· Players can choose to play in Spanish or English

Daisy Fuentes Pilates, the first self-titled Pilates endeavor, goes beyond the one-way, static workouts of traditional DVDs using the Wii’s controls to monitor movements and offer instant feedback, ensuring proper body motion so players get the most from every Pilates session. Players stay on track following the integrated, on-screen “timing bar” as well as the real-time feedback from Daisy Fuentes herself, whose voice guides the exercises. Players will be able to choose between English and Spanish.

“This is a great way to get Pilates training that fits your schedule and lifestyle,” said Daisy Fuentes. “You can start out as an absolute beginner then move into intermediate and advanced levels–all at your own pace, in the comfort of your own home, and with responsive feedback that helps ensure you’re mastering core skills correctly before you advance.”

Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early twentieth century, Pilates has become the exercise program of choice for a growing number of enthusiasts on a worldwide scale. Daisy Fuentes Pilates is built around 10 fundamental exercises that players craft into individual workout routines depending on their level of intensity (Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced). Players can track their results – mapping the total amount of exercise completed and how well each movement was performed. Daisy Fuentes also offers exercise and healthy diet tips throughout the program to encourage a full-body approach to health and well-being.

“Pilates is like no other exercise,” Daisy Fuentes continued. “It makes your muscles long and lean – not bulky. It focuses on the connection between your mind and body, giving you smooth control over your movements. And the Wii is a great way to practice it – whether you’re getting started for the first time or looking for a more convenient way to integrate Pilates into your ongoing exercise routine.”
