Wii good for health - Man loses weight playing Wii Sports

A North American man has found the ultimate answer to: “You’re always playing on that stupid machine and never spend time with me!”.

Indeed, his lifestyle remained unchanged from the period before the experiment. The only modification was the addition of the 30-minute gaming session.

The results: DeLorenzo claims his weight fell from 181lbs (82kg) to 172lbs (78kg), and his Body Mass Index (BMI) fell from 25.2 to 24.0. With the aid of a fitness specialist, he measured a two per cent body-fat loss over the period.
