If you resemble a walrus in the midst of rutting season, I'm sure it will help.

Otherwise, not so much.

Joining a Gym won't make you fit either if you don't go, get a routine going ,and revise your diet. You make yourself fit, the rest are just tools at your disposal.

PS He is talking about loseing weight, no gym type work help lose weight since if you convert fat to muscle you will weigh more.

 You cannot convert fat to muscle.

It's gonna make you a lot fitter than sitting on your butt playing Halo3 on Xbox live, I'm sure of that.

Well ... it all depends on how fit you're currently and how fit you want to be.

I workout every day and am in excellent shape; I have focused mostly on cardio for many years with weight-training being (mostly) an afterthought. About 6 weeks ago (when there were a lot of news stories on new-years resolutions) I saw the same fact that I had seen a half dozen times before and decided to look into it; the fact was "Muscle is an active tissue and burns a lot of calories at rest".

It turns out that (to my surprise after a decade of training) that 1 pound of muscle burns 60 calories per day at rest ...

For someone who is not fit at all (in particular people who are inactive and obese) the minor ammount of physical activity that you do while playing Wii Fit or Wii Sports could (potentially) allow you to build 1 to 3 pounds of muscle. If you combine the 200 calories you burn from playing one of these games for an hour, with the 60 to 180 calories from added muscle, and have a diet which supports your current body weight while inactive you could lose a lot of weight in a year.

That's news to me.

Sincerely,

The sky is blue

You are, unfourtunately, wrong. The colour of the sky is NOT blue. It looks blue because the sunlight moves through the air, but really, it is white.

Wii Fit makes you Fit, because you note whether you have gained weight or not, and other stuff, so you start working towards other stuff and so.


No the sky is blue because of how sunlight is absorbed by the air. Its like saying 'That wall isn't red, it only appears red because of the way light is reflected'.


 I am not 100% because it's a long time since I did this.... but solid objects are the colour they seem because they only absorb part of the spectrum from pure white light, so something that is blue absorbs red and green light, and reflects blue light.

With the sky it is different because the light is being refracted, not reflected, it appears blue because of the way light slows down when it hits the atmosphere and is refracted so we only see the blue end of the spectrum... therefore the sky is not in fact blue like an object, but only appears so.

That is also why you can have other colours of sky (namely red at night) because the light is refracted more or less.... you only see red sky when the sun has sunk below the horizon.

 Not literally, perhaps, but my body effectively does just that... and the opposite when I slack off. My weight stays pretty much static at 200 lbs, but my girth and muscle tone fluctuates depending on how much exercise I get.

i already knew that,the reason i wanna get it is cause it looks fun



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

That`s funny, one of the adds in the middle of this thread says, ``lose Weight, no diets - no meetings - no pills``, it probably doesn`t work either.
