Confirmed: hours playing Wii help you lose weight |
Ó
One man, through an on-the-fly experiment, has managed to prove to the world that yes, besides being a video game console, the Wii also doubles as an exercise machine which can help you shed those pounds you gained over the Holidays.
A feat that has warranted coverage from Reuters, Mickey DeLorenzo came up with the idea of the "Wii Sports Experiment" back in early December, after a sweaty round of Wii Boxing. After realizing that what he just did practically counts as a work out, he then outlined a six-week regimen. The plan was to simply play Wii Sports for 30 minutes a day, without any form of dieting whatsoever, and see what happens.
From what he chronicles in his blog, the results were apparently more than he hoped for as he was able to lose up to nine pounds, and all that with just a total of 21 hours of playing the Wii. As proof, he provides the requisite before and after photos of himself, as well as charts which show his progress over those six weeks. On top of that, he also has a good amount of notes about his method, and a compilation video which shows how he did what he did.
Meanwhile, we find this whole thing to be rather brilliant. After all, it's still better than having to plod through those crazy exercise videos or use the treadmill, for that matter. God bless the Wii.

WTF did that guy eat on the 16th? And how the hell did he lose so much on the 15th!?
"From what he chronicles in his blog, the results were apparently more than he hoped for as he was able to lose up to nine pounds, and all that with just a total of 21 hours of playing the Wii."
Wow, I guess there is no minus to playing the Wii for 21+ hours.
Oh wait. Well, some of us like to, oh you know, leave our house once in a while...
You are now officially retarded. If you just read the *****ing article you would see that he play for just 30 minutes a day, not 21 hours.
You fail at life.
21 hours TOTAL.
Maybe you should have read the article...
