Individualized Coaching and Self-Monitoring, in English and Spanish

May 19, 2009--SEGA of America, Inc. today announced Daisy Fuentes Pilates, the first Pilates workout program for the Wii. Set at a lush tropical resort and hosted by Daisy Fuentes, longtime Pilates icon and star of the entertainment industry, the title supports the Wii Balance Board. Created in partnership with Interactive Game Group, Daisy Fuentes Pilates features customizable workouts, fitness tracking, real-time coaching and interactive feedback.

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. Read more

March Madness 2009 is here. Selection Sunday was March 15 and the Final Four begins April 4 in Detroit. Not everyone lives in Detroit so here are a few of options for enjoying the games from a bit more of a distance. Other than television, which isn't really a great travel companion, the Internet again strikes as a force to be reckoned with in viewing these near four weeks of college clash.

For the viewing pleasure of anyone with a computer, the main sites, including CBS Sports, and the NCAA both provide free online playing options. Like 2008, the demand video player will use a wide screen format and provide a live scoreboard. There will be a live halftime show for the online crowd, and the option to view multiple games at once.

This year is particularly unique in that CBS has again dropped the need for other sites to register in order to use its on-demand player. This year over 200 sites will have access to streaming the game as well. ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Yahoo Sports, Joost, and even Facebook will all also be able to stream the tournament live through links, which gives more options to the rest of us.Read more

Most New Year's resolutions are easy to make -- and just as easy to break. While most of us want to get fit and healthy the task can seem overwhelming, especially when we set our goals a bit too high -- like vowing to run 10 miles a day when you haven't put on a pair of sneakers since high school!

It takes just 30 minutes of physical activity a day to stay healthy. This January, why not resolve to simply increase activity in everyday life? Activity comes in many different forms -- from walking the dog to shooting hoops -- so you can choose activities that match your lifestyle and interests (and mix it up so it never gets dull). With activity as your New Year's resolution you'll feel healthier, happier and a lot less guilty by the time March rolls around! Read more
