That is truly the most bizarre comment I have ever seen. If you’re making fun of people because they bowl by actually swinging their arm what does that say about someone that would do it by wiggling their thumbs. Maybe you should grab a gun, get drunk and drive a car around at high speed instead of playing GTA IV.
And reasons I would get Wii Fit rather than just going to a gym:
1. Convenience, I can exercise whenever I want without leaving my house. The nearest gym is far enough away to waste considerable time just in travel.
2.Cost. Wii Fit = $89.00 one time. Gym equals membership fee that keeps mounting up
3. Privacy. I don’t particularly like working out just to amuse the jocks and gym rats that are in much better shape and love to sneer and laugh when you bobble an exercise
4.Balance Training. I’m older and I need to improve my balance in order to avoid injuries from a fall. According to the head of physical therapy at the major teaching hospital where I work, the Wii Fit board is an extraordinary sensitive device for real time balance feedback that ISN’T even available at a gym
5. Fun. The exercise mini games won’t win game of the year but they’re a heck of a lot more fun than the torture machines at the gym
6. Motivation. Every reviewer I’ve read who actually used Wii Fit over a realistically long term trial have found it an extraordinarily good motivation tool. Something that the idea of going to the gym sadly lacks.
7. Environment. My living room is a heck of a lot nicer than a gym and smells a hell of a lot better.
