Wii fit - true or false on your health and body?

wii fit does work. technically, its not a different way of working out, it just takes existing exercises and makes them interactive. they arent making anything new, they're just making stuff that already exists into a video game.

my parents both do wii fit every day, and my dad says he does feel a lot better aerobically (he has bad knees, lol). he mostly does the yoga. like any exercise routine, it only doesnt work if you dont do it regularly. you cant expect to just play it every once and a while and lose weight, its not a short cut.

If your sure you've lost that much prehaps it's water weight? Have you been drinking enough lately?

Yh thats true, but i think it had health problems too tbh. When i do some of the exercises my breathing goes different, and i hold my breath rather than breathing normal, so after an hour i ended up with a headache as my blood pressure had increased

This might sound prevy and disgusting, But If you really want to see if you have lost weight, gained weight play it naked. I know, I know it sounds disgusting but that way you would be able to tell if you have a change in weight because its not as if you will be wearing cloths that add weight on

it would flop around for certain sports lol

*****!

or just wear the same clothes every time you go on? :P

It told me I lost a stone overnight... and I was wearing the same clothes the next day too!

I don't think its accurate, but if you kept on using it you could probably get fitter because the exercises are actual exercises, working on different muscles, etc.

My opinion- with influences what I read about Wii sport/Fit:

Indeed it helps you to loose weight! You move yourself, you might sweat a little if you play it intensive and so on. (I mean you even can loose/burn fat by cleaning your house :D )
But the clue is: It only SUPPORTS your body to loose weight. It's not substitution. If you want to loose weight you need to do the classical way: Workouts, healthy food, cardio-stuff- whatever :D But indeed it supports your body and it may help you to loose weight/burn fat even easier ;)
