In a press release today the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) applauded the Wii for getting american kids off their fat asses and burning some of the flab (not their exact words).
Al Grant, an ISSA certified trainer commented "I think any gaming system that gets the users off the couch and moving around has obvious health benefits. I saw kids using the Wii in the mall and they were working up quite a sweat playing the boxing and tennis games".
Indeed, fitness has never been this much fun. Actually this is the first time fitness has been fun at all. Feel the burn! No pain no gain.

I worked with those some years ago, and they are basically identical to the home unit, but it needed special recordable ...

That's so great. Everything is endorsing Wii now, Six Flags, and now ISSA. Wow!

Boxing gives me quite a workout. Anyone want to challenge me? 1700 right here.

If this does not help America's obesity problem, nothing will. Then again, all the crap that they put in the food is not helping either.

Yeah, I just bought a Wii. It'll be here on Sunday. And I'm gonna be in the best shape of my life!

I heard that on the news today too, I think that is pretty cool.

Eating potato chips while using the Wii makes the remote slippery too. This will help those chunkers lose weight!

DDR was fun.

The Wii might just well be the first console to eliminate our growing obesity crisis! We've become fat and lazy and now it's time to pay!

Most of the kids that are fat here are because the parents are fat and lazy and don't watch what their kids eat. Plus all those gawd awful eating contests *bleh*.

Boxing does give you a workout. Since I don't play Wii sports any more, I only have like 1000 points. I play LoZ:TP and it's fun.

Awesome but the bad news is that the madness will never end. I have been looking for a Wii ever since last week and no one has one, they are all saying that I have to wait until March.

I saw a video on youtube that showed some guy playing Wii sports every day for 3 months. He apparently lost 10 pounds (you never know, though, he could've used photoshop).

Another upside to Wii. No surprise. But it still makes me happy.
Stadifer said:
I've been getting a decent workout playing the boxing and tennis games as well. Even the baseball game when I put in the extra effort. The one that really surprised me was Tiger Woods 07! 18 holes of having to swing like I'm on the course gets the system going for sure.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games comes to mind when I think Wii+ exercise.

It would be better if those were the exact words. Get to the point without trying to be all politically correct.
