Angelina Slims Down with Video Games

By , SparkPeople Blogger
How is mother of six Angelina Jolie shedding what little bit of baby weight she gained with her twins?
By playing video games with her children.
According to OK! Magazine, Jolie's oldest son, 7-year-old Maddox, tried to convince his mom that video games were more than just fun. They can teach you, too, he set out to prove as he took her to the Nintendo DS website. They discovered the Let's Pilates video game, and Jolie soon became hooked. Now the svelte actress is practicing Pilates for an hour three times a week with the game system, and she's up to the highest level.

I love the idea of combining fitness and technology. I'm all thumbs when it comes to most video games, and I never really evolved past Pac-Man, but some of the new fitness games appeal to me.

Plus, the Nintendo DS is portable, which makes it easy to exercise when you're away from home.

Have you ever tried one of the fitness video games? Would you?
