In an effort to encourage students who might otherwise not go to gym classes, the University of Houston has introduced Wii Fit based classes

This is a great, and pragmatic, approach to gym classes. If like me you were put off sports by school gym lessons, the idea of an alternative that's actually fun is very appealing. It might not be as physically rigorous as a five mile run, or an hour pumping iron, but it's sure as hell a lot more fun.

Wish they'd had it at U of H when I was a student there!
