I kind of suspected that when I bought a Wii that I was really buying a piece of exercise equipment. Although it might be a light workout, I do move more playing the Wii than any other console we have.

In Wii Sports, I wind up to throw pitches and use my best bowling stance. Although I can’t play tennis in real life, I know how to swing, so I do my best backhand and other swings when playing tennis. It really does give maybe not an intense workout but is definitely burning more calories than if I just sat on the couch.

With Wii Fit on the horizon and Wii Boogie available now, there will be plenty of ways to get a good workout with the Wii. If I can make working out fun, then I might stick with it.
