    I think we just have different definitions of 'exercise'.

    Is Wii Fit activity? Yes.
    Will Wii Fit burn more calories than sitting? Yes.
    Will Wii Fit improve your mobility, balance, and strength? Depends on your current level of fitness.
    Will Wii Fit improve your cardiovascular health? Only if it brings your HR above 65% of your MHR.

    It will be more challenging for some than others. If you currently hoola hoop, do yoga, or do step aerobics every day, this won't benefit you as much as someone who is brand new to exercise. It is definitely more active than sitting and playing a game, but for some it won't be as beneficial are more vigorous activity.

    I think you just said what I wanted to say, but I couldn't think of an intelligent way of saying it.:laugh:

    Not everyone will get the same results and that goes with everything/anything else.

    I really like Wii Tiger Woods 2008 on the hardest level!

    Still not real golf, but I have SOOOO much fun with it!

    I wish it was an OnLine game!

    Anyone have Wii Smash Bros Brawl? I might try to challenge you to that one!

    Imagine if Wii Fit was online! Imagine the contest we could have!

    Some games are (like Smash Bros).

    Wii Fit or some type of on line challenge would be AWESOME! ~smiling~
