It appears that some of us who hopped on (get it…) the Wii Fit craze are not giving 110% like we should. So no more Mr Nice Balance Board, and friendly generic trainer for us, now we have fitness guru Jillian Michaels to shame and inspire us to be more beautiful.

Yes kids the first of what could be many celebrity sponsored fitness games is being developed in time for the holiday 2009 season by, we learned are lesson about trying to make anything original-Majesco. Dubbed “Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum 2009” the game is said to feature the title character in some virtual form to help us all get the ultimate six-pack abs as opposed to reaching for another six-pack of soda. For those unfamiliar with Jillian, she is a fitness trainer who gained recent fame as one of the pretty people on NBC’s Biggest Loser show who yells at fatties until they cry and lose weight, and occasionally lose weight and cry.

All I know is I can’t wait to pay $30-$50 to have some ripped chick giggle at my jiggle and inspire me to make more use of my Wii Balance Board. Sure she may not be as friendly as that little animated accessory, but how can I trust that a virtual trainer without abs of steel is giving me the right advice anyhow?

Sure they tried once before back in the day with the ol’ Powerpad, but I think they were simply ahead of their time. So what if some lady got miffed because Wii Fit called her fat little girl fat? I call common sense shenanigans on that anyhow, your kid should be bright enough not to let a machine hurt her feelings. Besides, maybe more chunky and skinny kids should be notified earlier in life about being healthy from their games. In our society of extremes, pre-teens to teens seem to either go the starvation diet route or the “it’s not my fault I’m fat” route which both miss the mark about being active and healthy. I say bring on the Wii Fit, and the Subway sammich cross promo, and the American Gladiators and all, let’s inspire kids to get healthy and use entertainment to make it fun. Hell, it worked for Carrot Top!
