Nintendo's 'Wii Fit Plus' adds pet support

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Pet owners can weigh themselves with their furry friends on “Wii Fit Plus,” the follow-up to the top-selling Nintendo workout game.
The updated title lets players create avatars of their dogs and cats, enter information such as their pet’s birthday, and use the scalelike Wii Balance Board controller to weigh themselves and their pets. The game will then continue to monitor the pet’s weight alongside its owner.
“It’s so fun to have a motivator when you’re working out,” said Katie Cray, Nintendo entertainment and trend marketing manager. “Obviously, if you have a dog, you’re probably out there walking your dog and playing with it, and that’s exercise in and of itself, so it’s nice to have the ability to track the progress of both your dog and yourself.”
“Wii Fit Plus,” which launches Sunday, doesn’t have any training exercises for pets.
It does have several new features for users, including three strength training exercises, three yoga activities and 15 balance games. Players can customize their routines, allowing them to focus on working out specific parts of their bodies.

Just the thought of trying to weigh my lab on the balance board makes me laugh.

The actual act of getting him to stay on the board and/or hold him while I stand on it... that'll work up a sweat.

I try to stand on the scale and hold the dogs sad thing is my wife dont believe our 90lb dog gained 20lbs in the week after going to the vet. I was insulted that she insinuated that I gained the 20lbs
