jOG gives you a newer, more annoying way to get fit on your Wii

How would you like to pay about $40 for a gadget that makes you jump up and down like a six-year-old hopped up on Pixy Stix to play your Wii games? That's the idea behind the jOG, an accelerometer that connects in-line between the Wiimote and the Nunchuck, making sure you're not having any fun unless you're running in place -- thereby decreasing the amount of fun you could be having otherwise. The little heart-shaped gadget also has a pedometer to count your steps and one particularly brilliant feature that might just make it usable: a button to turn the thing off. Video of the good-times jogging action after the break.

Is it just me or does she look fit enough already? =D

[DWells55 Posted Jan 29th 2009 11:23AM]

Turns out it takes continued diet and exercise to stay fit. Crazy, huh?

[slamEVIL Posted Jan 29th 2009 12:14PM]

just wait for the video to finish and one of the first suggestions will be, "Boxing with Wii Fit - Playboy Cyber Girl Jo Garcia." ;)

Thoase guy got Hemmeroids or something? I bet this can easily be used sitting down. just put the hearts on your toes and tap your feet. THIS IS GARBAGE, an Ultimate FAIL! Those guys look really ghey when they do their shuffle jog.

[gonintendo Posted Jan 29th 2009 10:23AM]

For a great alternative, try My Weight Coach for DS.

[Grabbydad Posted Jan 29th 2009 10:31AM]

There doesn't seem to be any correlation between the person jumping and the character in the game moving. The guys in the video look like zombies jogging in place. It almost seems like a joke.
I am bothered by companies trying to market products that will get the public in shape in our living rooms.
Eat right, get 20-30 minutes of exercise (some movement) a day, and you will on the slow but steady road to better health. You shouldn't have to buy a bunch of crap to get yourself in shape. Be imaginative, use your body and every day objects as resistance.

And I thought the other eye eye was a numbskull.
Are you living this "better life" you speak of at the end of your posts? If being an ignorant asshat is living a better life; I'll keep the one I have now thank you very much.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 29th 2009 10:39AM]

I do enjoy iEye

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 29th 2009 10:44AM]

Brilliant :)

I think that sooner or later there will be a Wii head band that will allow tracking of head movement! I've had a lot of fun with games on the PC with such gadgets.. to see what games studios would come out with if this sort of add-on was available would be fantastic!!

Up next, the Wii Kegel Exerciser Codpiece.

You were the device and using your pelvic muscles you direct a little man through a large, open (loose lol) tunnel. The object is to trap the little man inside by reducing (tightening lol) the circumference of the tunnel.

[snowglyder Posted Jan 29th 2009 10:53AM]

When I saw the picture and read "makes you jump up and down" I got excited, until I continued reading "like a six-year-old...."

Thanks for ruining the moment.

[BookishOwl Posted Jan 29th 2009 11:12AM]

strangely enough- this is a add on that I might buy...
reminds me of the fake Nintendo Revolution video that came out before wii was announced.

Apple ripped off the black in the iPhone from HP!

why isn't she using the wrist strap? WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

Looks pretty cool to me! I like the Wii Fit jogging game which has you run in place with a Wiimote.

I think it would be more immersive if you had, for example, a tactical shooter where you actually had to "run" through the jungle shooting stuff. Does this thing know when you crouch, too?

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 29th 2009 11:43AM]

it'd be cooler if running in place was only required to move your character forward. the horse would be that much more desired in twilight princess.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 29th 2009 12:53PM]

It's pretty sad that the creators of this damn thing were getting tired using it, but they want the rest of the world to use it. F*ck them!!

[RecycledBottle Posted Jan 29th 2009 4:02PM]

I already jog in place while playing Tennis and boxing...

[Doomcoat Posted Jan 29th 2009 4:13PM]

lady has a nice watch ^^

[TMC Posted Jan 29th 2009 6:56PM]
