WiiHealthy: the Wii Sports weight loss program

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: The Wii gives even the laziest people on earth some motivation to get up and be active. Needless to say, the phenomenon of Wii-based weight loss is still astonishing, even after so many people have spoken up about it already.

Well, making its rounds on Digg is a new exercise regimen: a 10-week program whose main draw is using the Nintendo Wii to lose weight. The site lists the effectiveness of different Wii Sports games in burning calories, and offers friendly advice for people who are new to video gaming as well.

One thing makes us somewhat hesitant though. There’s a decidedly large gap between using the Wii religiously for weight loss and having a balanced weight loss plan that includes a healthy diet. Not that everyone follows a diet and all, but it adds credibility to the plan, at least.

In any case, there’s definitely an outpouring of support for using the Nintendo Wii as an exercise tool and gaming machine. Let’s just hope people remember to stretch before punching an imaginary opponent with the Wiimote.
