10 Minute Solution exercise DVDs being made into a Wii game

Activision is getting into the whole Wii fitness thing, and teaming up with Anchor Bay Entertainment to do so. See, Anchor Bay Entertainment has a series of exercise DVDs called 10 Minute Solution. If you’ve ever sat up, watching infomercials, you’ve probably heard about them. There’s titles like 10 Minute Solution: Pilates, 10 Minute Solution: Tone Trouble Zones, 10 Minute Solution: Hot Body Boot Camp, and so on.

So, what Activision is doing is compiling some of the most popular and useful exercises from the 10 Minute Solution DVDs into a $19.99 10 Minute Solution Wii game. There’ll be three categories of exercises to choose from, aerobics, cardio boxing and mixed games, and each workout lasts exactly 10 minutes.

As you can see from the screenshot at the right, 10 Minute Solution will have balance board support. It even looks and sounds like some of the exercise routines will even require it. Activision’s press release does promise that not all 10 minute routines will require the balance board, so there should be a couple workouts you can take part in without it.

It sounds interesting, and especially promising because it’s so cheap. I wonder how it’ll do, once it goes up against Wii Fit and EA Active. Somehow, I get the feeling that it won’t be able to compete.
