Can a wii help me lose weight?
hello. im detting up an entertainment system in my room and want a game console. im leaning towards the wii because i want to try and lose weight by playing wii sport mainly boxing. this will not be my main excercise. i do alot of cardio at school i climb a crap load of stairs!. i also know that you can lose more weight by excercising in the mornings. so here was what i was thinking. i would get up everymorning at and play wii sports boxing with exagerated movement for a full hour. then play it for an hour before bed. i would also include treadmill and puchupssitups in my daily routine. do you think i can lose weight with the wii? btw i want to slowly lose weight, i have months untill baseball season.

Answer

Minimally. Seeing as there is little to no weight resistance in the Wiimote, playing games that take your full body give you a minimal workout. If you play it regularly, and diet and make it a part of your workout, it would definitely help in losing weight.
