Do you think video games are just for kids? Then think again and be inspired by the recycled teenagers in PAGER (Pensioners Action Group East Riding).
Wii sports are being used to help PAGER Members keep fit in Withernsea. The Wii ENABLE PROJECT has been helping them to use the popular games console to take part in beneficial exercise. They have been playing interactive games of boxing, tennis, bowling and golf.
Apparently the group members are having so much fun that they are quite keen to keep the project running after it finishes at the end of July.
The group has invited others to join in the fitness fun! It meets for the next three Thursdays in July 2009 at the resort’s SHoRes Centre.

Wii Wednesdays have been organised by Help the Aged. The charity has found the Wii such a great way for older people to keep fit and healthy that they have purchased consoles for older peoples’ centres around the country. See Keep fit with Nintendo Wii on the Help the Aged Website.
