Core strength using the Wii Fit

Core strength is an issue that can directly help to reduce back pain. The Wii Fit is a great tool that demonstrates an individual’s core strength, one game in particular is tailored for this. The basic idea of the game is that you sit cross legged on the Wii fit board, sitting up straight. The object is to be able to sit for the longest time without moving an inch, the more you move the, the worse score you will get.



After the game I asked the competitors how they felt and each one felt their muscles being used, and said that they haven’t felt their core muscles being used like this before. From this simple experiment it is easy to understand how important the core strength on an individual is for a healthy back.
