Losing weight the Wii way. (Wii is Nintendo’s latest videogame system)

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

This guy lost 9 pounds by playing Nintendo Wii Sports. If you want to start tracking your own videogame usage and fitness and weight stats, please send an email to gserafini [at] gmail.com and I’ll hook you up with an invite to Collabofit.

Six weeks ago, I began what has become a huge obsession of mine. It is called the “Wii Sports Experiment” (Read my original announcement of this from Early December ‘06). I outlined a 6 week game plan for myself, the idea being that I would continue ALL normal activity and eating habits, and simply add 30 minutes of Wii Sports to my day. For the past month and a half, I’ve stuck to these guidelines very strictly.
For those of you unfamiliar with “Wii Sports”, you can watch a video review of the game and find out what it’s all about, here
I’ve been meticulously keeping track of the following for the past 6 weeks:
- Weight
- BMI
- Calories burned per session/per game (via BioTrainer, thanks Nancy!)
- Body fat % (via a Digital Body Fat Caliper and a body fat scale)
- Heart Rate (at rest)
- Wii Fitness Age
- Additional Notes/Soreness
