Activision Announces 10 Minute Workout For Wii

Activision has announced an agreement with Anchor Bay Entertainment to release 10 Minute Solution, a fitness game for Wii based on the popular exercise DVDs. Coming this Spring, 10 Minute Solution will bring focused exercise activities to fitness fans with busy schedules, in an affordable and fun way. Activision's David Oxford commented

“10 Minute Solution DVDs give users a unique fitness experience: customizable routines that fit into any lifestyle. We’ve taken this concept and combined it with the interactivity of the Wii, creating a new kind of workout that gets results.”

10 Minute Solution combines the ease of the popular fitness DVDs with casual gaming fun. The game allows players to construct regimens from a wide variety of 10 minute routine blocks, organized into three main categories: cardio boxing, mixed games and aerobics. 10 Minute Solution is designed to captivate fitness enthusiasts and gamers alike with intense routines that play as a game, unlike other fitness games that simply have the player following a trainer on screen. The game is enhanced when played with the Wii Balance Board, but still offers a fantastic workout without it. Julie Cartwright, SVP Marketing at Anchor Bay Entertainment commented:

“Our legions of 10 Minute Solution DVD users will tell you these simple 10 minute exercises work. We are ecstatic to be partnering with Activision to do something progressive in the fitness gaming space.”

10 Minute Solution will be available for $19.99 when it releases in Spring. Lame.
