Wii and Your Health - Related Stories show Positive Benefits of Wii

Submitted by wiiworkout on Mon, 07/02/2007 - 00:05.

Stories are popping up everywhere indicating people have found not only pleasure but real health benefits from using the Nintendo Wii. Here is a compilation with links to a few such stories.

At this site, the story of Mary Jane Zamora, a 50 year old woman is told. She has battled breast cancer and the Wii bowling game helped her regain the confidence she needed to get back with her bowling league.

TheInquirer.Net cleverly referred to this same story as wiihabilitation.

The official journal of the american academy of pediatrics wrote an article with the following keywords: physical activity • obesity • indirect calorimetry • television • video games.

In the story they indicate the benefits to children of using "activity-enhancing screen devices " rather than traditional sedentary video games.

Time's online article wrote
In December Mickey DeLorenzo, a computer programmer in Philadelphia, hypothesized that he could lose weight by playing the Wii for 30 minutes a day. He lost
nine pounds in six weeks and is on his way to becoming the next Jared of
Subway fame. In January DeLorenzo signed a book deal, tentatively titled
The Wii Workout and teamed up with Traineo.com, a social networking site for dieters
and fitness buffs, to feature his new regime. "It's becoming something like
a Richard Simmons show," says DeLorenzo, who's received dozens of fan
emails. "People will write, 'You've inspired me to buy a Wii and start
working out.'"

Two months after dismissing the Wii's exercising potential, Nintendo
spokeswoman Perrin Kaplan now embraces it. "One of our hopes was that people
would find a way to enjoy the Wii sitting on the couch or getting up and
moving their body around," she says. "This huge fitness craze was more than
we had anticipated."
The article continues on to say
