Wii Sports for Seniors

Seniors, do you love to golf, but don't want to deal with the weather? Maybe you were a bowler, but your arthirits keeps you from lifting the ball. Stay active in the comfort of the Peters Township Public Library. We'll use the large plasma TV and Nintendo Wii in the Teen Reading Room to stay fit.

Peters Township teens will walk you through the use of the Wii-mote, a light-weight, motion-detecting controller that you swing like a golf club, baseball bat, bowling ball or tennis racquet. The benefit of Wii Sports is evident and being used in many senior living communities, and physical therapists are beginning to integrate the Wii into their everyday routines. Bring a friend or two and give it at try! No registration required -- just drop in!
