Crystal Shards Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 WiiFits are actually bad for you. But hey, have fun. And Knife, no one gets much more muscular without weight training and/or extensive cardio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crystal Shards Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Yeah, it is. This was written by a guy who's actually fit to begin with. Not only is it potentially harmful, but anyone who thinks it's an actual workout is sadly mistaken. It's fun to play though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is it potentially harmful, but anyone who thinks it's an actual workout is sadly mistaken. It's fun to play though. That article was talking about using the BMI system. Wasn't there an article about a 10 year old girl who was clearly not fat being told that she was? I imagine Wii Fit would call me obese... If nothing else, the game seems to be good for halfway motivating out of shape folk to try to get in some form of shape. Although, it sounds like it would only make them only able to do mild stuff, though. According to my sister, the girl gym classes in my school are actually getting Wiis and this game for exercises...... Maybe someone should set the teacher straight.

No, it also talks about how in order to get the highest score you have to do the exercises wrong a lot of the time, which is bad for you, worse even than not working out at all, because you can pull muscles and the like. Also, BMI is just flawed in itself. But hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwolf_UK Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Wasn't there an article about a 10 year old girl who was clearly not fat being told that she was? Well that is BMI being utter crap for people who are still growing and people who actually work out. But from what I remember of the story (doing the BMI by hand the girl came in at 19.5) carpets utterly destory the accuracy of scales of any kind*...balance board included. Wooden floor or floor like the bathroom is okay though. *-That eplxains the BMI dsiscrepancy. When the story first broke (before we found what the BMI should have been) I actually said, Carpets+Scales=Disaster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Hero Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 The guy who wrote that review is a freak. The game wasn't designed for anyone even close to someone like him. And I HIGHLY doubt that he does that much excercising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Here's the logic of the story--instead of buying all this, do something even simpler: log on to YouTube and look up exercise videos, or even, Wii Fit videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not getting it; my mom is. Nobody in my family needs to exercise more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Thankfully, I attend a gym, so Wii Fit isn't really needed. It's good for working up a sweat and losing some flab and some weight, but I wouldn't ever use it as my sole form of exercise... Assuming I had it.

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) Lol WiiFit. It's barely effective compared to superior methods, and it's not even fun either.

Hinata Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I've played it, and while it can be a fun diversion, it's not really good if you're looking for a real workout. Though the balance board does have some potential for use in other games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
