I swear it's not a misleading title. I grew up in the era of NES and the whole problem of jumping with Mario when he jumped. (The controller, not me actually.)
So here I am with dance class canceled so I'm playing Wii Sports. Normally I do bowling and boxing but tonight I tossed in tennis because I suck. And yes, I logged it even though I don't believe the calories. However I wonder, and yes I'll need my HRM to test this out blah blah blah, I wonder if those of us who grew up with the old school stuff burn more due to the fact we "move" with the controller.
This isn't so much of a serious question but a giggle. I will master tennis however. Dr. Mario said so.
