The Nintendo Wii really has got to be the ultimate fitness gadget for home as since the games console was launched I personally know of two people that play the thing like mad and these two friends were overweight, but they have told me they have lossed a lot of weight since buying the machine…and it shows.
Save your money and instead of spending money on these health clubs, just get a Nintendo Wii.
You really can make a big weight loss and this should not really surprise anyone as it makes sense if your up of your backside and jumping around like a looney then your going to burn calories and lose weight.
One of the best games I feel burns the most calories on the Nintendo Wii is the Wii Sports game that gives its players 5 different sports experiences which include Boxing, Bowling, Baseball, Golf and Tennis.
Now although you are not playing these sports in real life, you still have to act like you are which means tons of exercise and weight loss again.
I think Nintendo have built a games system that will do our children the world of good for their health and future (and adults too), well done Nintendo.

I’m an avid, energetic tennis player from SoCal who now lives in Montana—the winters are really tough for tennis. So what’s a mother (ok, grandmother) to do? Play the Wii–since I am at least twenty or more years older than my opponents (and have yet to lose a set against them) my skill level is better on the court than on the game—however, doing the training segments, playing the games (all but boxing, but I’ll try that when boredom with the other games sets in)with enthusiasm and body knowledge of the motion it takes to get the job done, as well as the focus on the ball, by the time I’m done–20+ minutes divided between the actual game and training (more strenuous)I’m sweating–which is a good thing
—the challenge now is to get my formerly competitive couch potato husband “back in the game.” Stay tuned all you senior, and not-so senior citizens out there…
BTW, I’ve been looking at the gyrogym because it’s fun and looks efficient in terms of heart rate, sweat factor, etc….but there’s not a lot of consumer info out there yet…and I’m not so sure it’s worth the really big price tag…any suggestions?
