Wii Nintendo Sports Experiment shows positive results

“If you can’t get a camel to the water then you must bring the water to the camel.” This ancient proverb that holds true in today’s world too. Why else would you think that Nintendo has conducted experiments to prove that you can lose weight with gaming too? When people are addicted to playing sports only on the console, critics have often accused the gaming industry for addiction that people have with the games. Like the couch potato addicted to the TV, serious gamers too lack the enthusiasm to go out doors for a little exercise. With the Wii Nintendo Sports Experiment conducted successfully, hopefully the detractors will have to hunt for new stuff to crib about.

In the experiment a gamer (keeping all factors constant) reportedly lost 9lbs in six weeks, playing Wii games for half an hour daily. His BMI dropped from 25.2 to 24 and his body fat dropped to 17.2% from 19%. However to get the full details you need to visit the site. People may take time to adjust to the concept of losing weight with gaming (I know mothers will go up the wall about this!) but maybe this could be a new revolution.
