A 1,000 strong poll of insurer Shiela’s Wheels (who cover women only) resulted in an admittance that on average many had caused AU$13.50 worth of household damage after workout sessions got out of hand. This figure is an average annual cost, and when extrapolated out to a national figure equates to a bill of STG 20 million (AU$41.5 million). Home exercise routines including the Eye Toy Kinetic for PlayStation2 and Nintendo’s Balance Board based Wii Fit are causing TV’s, windows, pets and flower pots to suffer. And the issue will only get worse; Wii Fit currently rides high in the “software” charts along with more sedentary pursuits such as Grand Theft Auto IV, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Mario Kart.
