Hi,
If you are going to try the Wii to lose weight, here is something I found on the Nintendo forums:
From the forums at Nintendo.com…
“I have read several posts about some people losing weight while playing Wii Sports and some people doubting it. Well I know for a fact, because I am one of them, that you can lose weight and improve your fitness playing Wii sports. All you have to do is play the games with fitness in mind. Here is an example of a workout:
1. Warm-up – Dodge Balls being thrown at your head, leaning far right and far left. Then hit the punching bag for at least 3 cycles.
2. Workout part 1 – Start with Boxing and Box for at least 15 minutes. During your matches continuously punch you opponent as fast as you can. Make sure you throw a variety of punches and twist your waist with each punch.
3. Workout part 2 – Play Tennis for 20 minutes, 5 game matches. Use your whole body when swinging and for a little extra work, see how long you can make some points last.
4. Workout part 3 – several rounds of Baseball Hitting practice – Swing like you are holding a real bat and hit as quickly as possible
4. Slow Down – Play several games of speed Bowling – Leave as little time as possible between frames and throw the ball like you are really bowling. I became a pro doing this
5. Recovery – Play a round of golf
If you are already in shape, this workout may do nothing for you. But if you are overweight like me, and eat a healthy diet, a Wii workout, works.”
