I can play all the wii sports while sitting on a coach, and obviously I wouldn't expect that to make me loose weight, but I could also get totally into them and move around and pretend I'm actually playing them. |
I spotted that flaw as soon as I read the first post. Only 51% more calories burned sounds like wrist movement compared to thumb movement. I can't immagine that the sport of bowling only burns about 50% more calories than thumb wrestling a controller.
