But thanks to the Wii Fit, she was able to recover greatly. Using the Wii Fit for45 minutes a day, the business analyst played multiple games such as Wii Fit's boxing, step aerobics and the hula hoop mini-games, she was able to regain her life again.


The Wii was originally a Holiday gift to her daughters, but now Jo recommends it to anyone suffering from the sickness.
