I did a very cursory search and found the article here: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0KGB/is_5_4/ai_n6006182

Which of course offers no citations for their claims. However, my fading memory of something said in biology class plus this article must mean it's true!]]>Feb 9th 2007 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/Feb 9th 2007 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/Feb 9th 2007 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/Feb 9th 2007 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/

If you are going to try and bust the Wii's chops, then you might as well know what you are talking about ^_^]]>Jun 26th 2007 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/Feb 9th 2007 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/Feb 9th 2007 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/Feb 9th 2007 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/

If you're going to be moving around while playing your Wii games, you might as well strap on a wrist weight and get a little extra benefit. These would work well with Wii boxing; that game can be a real upper body workout if you play it like you're really boxing.]]>Feb 11th 2007 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/
Wiiology is so fun!]]>Feb 9th 2007 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/
The lopsided arms thing is a thought, but most people already have an arm stronger than the other. I think the Wii could be a great way for people to work on their ambidexterity, and yeah, a somewhat decent workout. Screw the guy on his elliptical, that's DULL. Running around playing tennis in the comfort of a living room, that's entertaining. The key is that it's a step toward activtainment.]]>Feb 9th 2007 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/Chronic Wiisturbation = one arm bigger than the other

Now, if they came up with an array of wireless sensors for the whole body and came up with a few decent games to utilize them (think DDR, but with your whole body) then we'd be in business.

The geek in my is longing for the day when I can go to a gym and get in a (virtual) race, be it on a treadmill, bike or whatnot.]]>Apr 11th 2007 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/09/wii-weights-could-spark-legions-of-wii-athletes/Aug 3rd 2009 11:10AM
