Except spot reducing fat is impossible. What a joke. If i hear one more person tell me how they "worked out" for an hour on a Wii Fit and are so tired then i think i might cry. 10 minutes of real weight lifting in a gym(or at home) will do more for one's health than an hour of Wii Fit-ing.]]>Oct 27th 2009 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/british-nhs-lauds-wii-fit-plus-for-flabby-bum-busting-potential/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/british-nhs-lauds-wii-fit-plus-for-flabby-bum-busting-potential/Oct 27th 2009 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/british-nhs-lauds-wii-fit-plus-for-flabby-bum-busting-potential/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/british-nhs-lauds-wii-fit-plus-for-flabby-bum-busting-potential/
No, I'm not using the ski jump or any of the 'games' as the core of my overall fitness. The aerobic freestep mode, a 3" riser for the wiiFit and an hour, will keep a sweat coming out of most people. I turn on my TiVo, and catch up on a show while I'm working on my wiiFit. Keeps my mind occupied.

BTW, I've seen more stand and posers at the local gym. I can do more on my wiiFit in 10 minutes than 90% of the folks at the gym end up doing.

We each find what works for us, in the long run, I use the wiiFit as one element of my routine, which also includes weight lifting, a healthy diet, and the occasional bit of biking. ]]>Oct 28th 2009 8:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/british-nhs-lauds-wii-fit-plus-for-flabby-bum-busting-potential/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/british-nhs-lauds-wii-fit-plus-for-flabby-bum-busting-potential/
As such, they ARE getting a better workout than... NOTHING. If you are unfit, I challenge you to do the harder exercises on Wii Fit and see if they are not making you sweat, burn your muscles, and cause you all kinds of hurt the next day. THAT constitutes a good workout for most people.]]>Oct 27th 2009 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/british-nhs-lauds-wii-fit-plus-for-flabby-bum-busting-potential/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/british-nhs-lauds-wii-fit-plus-for-flabby-bum-busting-potential/
Need a tissue?

But seriously, that's not really true, is it? Yes, an hour of moving left and right pretending to head a ball is not a work out by any stretch of the imagination. But if I spend an hour doing push-ups, jacknifes and running on the spot that's going to do more for my health than 10 minutes of lifting weights. ]]>Oct 27th 2009 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/british-nhs-lauds-wii-fit-plus-for-flabby-bum-busting-potential/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/british-nhs-lauds-wii-fit-plus-for-flabby-bum-busting-potential/Oct 28th 2009 3:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/british-nhs-lauds-wii-fit-plus-for-flabby-bum-busting-potential/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/british-nhs-lauds-wii-fit-plus-for-flabby-bum-busting-potential/Oct 28th 2009 5:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/british-nhs-lauds-wii-fit-plus-for-flabby-bum-busting-potential/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/british-nhs-lauds-wii-fit-plus-for-flabby-bum-busting-potential/
