Funny, all the fitness experts I've seen were suprised that it actually can be used as exercise. Even in the UK piece this past weekend the experts said it didn't replace a gym or a treadmill, but it was a good starting point for people who are not already getting exercise.
"However, experts think that this game could help people lose weight, as well as get toned. Professor Andy Jones at the University of East Anglia, who has tested the board, said: "We were looking to see how much energy people were burning using the Wii Fit. They did actually burn a significant number of calories - many times more than you would playing a traditional video game. "Games like this make people more active without realising they are being active. There's no point in saying 'you have all got to go to the gym more', because it is not going to happen."
