Wii Fit: Will It Work?
By SheerBalance/DivineCaroline
Nintendo's Wii Fit is revolutionizing the health and fitness industry, getting people of all ages off their butts and moving in a healthier direction. I don't own Wii...and there is a good chance I never will. However, about 4 months ago, I tried out a friend's Wii Tennis game for a few hours (I don't feel the need to explain myself, it just happened).
Throughout the game, I took it relatively seriously and found that I got quite a little workout. I held the remote and swung my arm as if I was holding a real tennis racquet. Feet in position...full strokes...both forward and back hands. After about fifteen minutes, I actually started to work up a small sweat. Not only did I have a ton of fun, I was really imprssed by how much 'exercise' I got.
After a full night of Wii, I slept really soundly and woke up the next day with a really sore shoulder. I'm not talking a little sore, I was SORE. The soreness persisted for about 4 days and I promise you, it made me rethink my strength training regimen.
So now Nintendo has introduced the highly popular Wii Fit.
