Wii Builds your ARM !! big time ! ...

 Hello,

It is interesting to say that what most people disliked about the Wii is what I most liked about it, which is moving around a lot. I mean I noticed lately that I am not doing enough exercise, apart from walking, and I thought I need to do some more. However, since its freezing cold these days, outdoor sports might not be my cup of tea right now. Alternative? simply, Wii. Its true that the wii remote is sensitive enough so that you can play all games while you are laying on the couch and being lazy. But when I play games like Wii sports, at times, I will find myself standing up and swinging my arm as if it was the real thing, even though its not needed. But I think it is a good way to stay fit. Another example, when you play Wario ware smooth moves (which happens to be a brilliant game by the way) when you unlock all characters, there is one Prof. character in a yellow suit and you will basically play through the micro games and it will choose the ones which are more involving on purpose, and it will also calculate how many calories you're burning, so I thought that was a neat idea. Therefore, it might be a good way to lose weight. By the way, I am not overweight, I am in the 60-70 Kg range, in case you were wondering........ So yeah, the Wii Builds your Arm !! ....

 PEACE^^

not really....

It'd take you awhile to actually burn a decent amount of calories with that thing.

And no, it doesn't build your arm. 

You must be joking.  I play games to relax.  I lift weights to build my arms. ironwarrior2

    Last I was benching (week ago), I benched 215 lbs 3 times, but before I quit while I was getting my new life organized, I was up to 305lbs 2x.

So you wanna wrestle? Oh wait 60-70kg you're not a girl are you? :|ralphikari

wow, if u get a workout by lifting the 1 lb controller, u must be a scrawny nerdsPOON_f33dU

    You can get a workout lifting a can of soup. For toning, its about light weights lifted many times. To gain muscle it is low reps with heavy weight. Any movement requires Calories, thus moving is working out (to some degree). And I can testify that getting into the Wii can get you moving quite well. :)

IMO Wii Boxing (if you do it right) makes a decent workout.

By doing right I mean throwing whole punches, jumping, moving from side to side (I know this isnt necesary but it gets you more involved:))

But I prefer some real workout....since I have a gym subscription:P 

Is this serious?

I hope people don't start thinking that Wii will build your arms. The only thing that does that is many reps with different weight excercises.
