Great article. I completely agree.

And adding on to what you said, if people cared enough about getting fit, why spend $200-300 (not completely familiar with the price of a Wii and this game)? Really, if one just woke up twenty or thirty minutes earlier and went for a walk, a bike ride, or a jog, they would find MUCH more progress. Yes, swinging around a remote and jumping up and down on a pad might constitute as “exercise” but in order for it to make up for unhealthy diets and such, it would take an extremely large amount of time.

With the advancement of technology we have started spending most of are time on PS3, Wii and browsing the net. I truly agree with the thought that all these studies are not required at all. It’s just a game which is developed by Nintendo and they are promoting it with as a game which can help you stay in shape…
It might definitely help you get out of your couch but it’s no comparison to actual physical exercise you need.

“Do we really need all these studies to declare whether the Wii is an exercise machine? Of course not. If you’re sweating a little after a round of Wii Sports Boxing, chances are you got some exercise. You also probably understand that it’s less of a work out than actual boxing, but it’s better than sitting on the couch. Duh.” –made me laugh today!

Thank you! I also liked…

Well said. The little guy has Wii fit and enjoys it, but each individual’s motivation to exercise is different.

Great story. I do agree Wii is what you put into it. The running, the yoga, the strength training, as well as everything on that machine gets me into a very healthy sweat. If I keep this up, I think the Wii will be successful with me, but like anything, to lose weight and to tone up takes work and dedication. Frankly, people do not want to work that hard or wait too long for results. We are in a now society where family’s want instant everything, including instant weight loss (hence, fad diets). I’m going to be patient, work out with Wii every morning, walk at lunch for three miles, and occasionally play family games together. It brings families together when they play together rather than constantly watching television and cultivating the bulge (which is preventing you from tying your shoes).
