The Truth About Wii Fit And Weight Loss

More like "The Truth About Wii S**t And Weight Loss."

"Nintendo's exercise game Wii Fit is still flying off retail shelves eight months after its U.S. release last May. The all-in-one instructional tool, weight tracker and fitness coach advertises itself as a painless way for the whole family to get healthy thanks to the game's 'balance board,' which measures players' movement. Offering a selection of activities--from running to push-ups to yoga--Wii Fit is now in almost 1.5 million homes across the country. But is anyone actually using it?

Not really, says Brian Crecente, managing editor of the popular gaming blog Kotaku. Despite optimistic predictions that Nintendo had unleashed a new era of videogames, Crecente calls Wii Fit little more than an exercise fad that's bound to come and go like any other. 'I don't know a single person who has bought the game who uses it routinely after a month,' he claims, stressing that getting results from the game requires dedication and real physical exertion. 'What Nintendo did is they tapped into that desire people have to be healthier... Everyone wants to work out, but nobody really wants to put the effort into it.'"

Yup.

Hey, morons!

You get NO aerobic points for purchasing this crap.

So who benefits?

Who do you think, fools?

"...Wii Fit creator Shigeru Miyamoto has previously gone on record and said that the game is less about people losing weight and more about broadening the videogame market."

And even if you used this trash, face it, "exercise" is a terribly inefficient way to lose weight.

Shed the pounds properly and effectively and lastingly by doing it right.
