Best Reasons Why Wii Fit Won't Help You

Stepping on a balance board doesn't make you Billy Blanks

Couch potatoes looking for an "easy" way to get in shape now have Wii Fit, Nintendo's exercise game that offers yoga, strength training and assorted mini games that make them look like uncoordinated morons. Just don't buy into the hype. Depending on your lifestyle, it may help you put on more weight instead of helping you lose it. Here's why your new toy will transform you into a jiggling blob

And about the general population, think twice before saying that again. Because people are dumb. And if you think everyone is smart, then obviously you live in a fantasy world. Numerous people believe Wii fit will make them healthy. Just like only taking diet pills will cause you to lose weight quicker then going to the gym.

this article is great and so true. When I first jumped on the wii board and had to balance, the first thing I thought was, "Now I need some booze." lol. This game does exactly what they said. Everyone thinks it adds that fun factor of working out so since they now have this "awesome" work out plan, they can get an extra slice of cake, or skip out on a real work out. Listen to yourselves! Good lord! Why not tell your kids to play in the park. Or better yet, go play with your kids. Play tag, hide n go seek, and all that other stuff. That's putting a fun appeal on a work out.

again, who has ever heard of a kid trying to bench press those 180 pounds? seriously, wii fit is something that kids can actually do, since they can't go to gyms

LOL..............................LOL. You're sad, man and now that i've read the comments, well apparently it's a general concensus among ...well everyone lol. AOL needs new reviews, you totally suck. It really sounds like you attempted to try wii fit and broke it or something. Or what really probably happened is that you tried to adopt all the things that you mentioned as your own workout routine, hopeful and motivated that it was everything you'd been dreaming of. Listen, everyone knows that you still have to live healthy, don't be stupid thinking the general populace doesn't know the wii fit is not an answer that will work wonders without altering anything else about your life. What a freakin retard, i swear to god. Anyone know who wrote this? They need to replace them with someone actually competent who will offer constructive reviews, rather than this stupid ****

wow...absolutely ridiculous...wii fit is designed to motivate you and make exercising more fun. even though you wont look like Atlas after playing it, it is fun, easy, and even kid-friendly. i mean, ever seen a 6-year old trying to bench press 200 lbs? and wtf is up with the alcoholic thing, huh? here are some options: 1. get new reviewers 2. get new reviewers 3. get new reviewers

pju00bass on 6/23/2008 10:11 am

what... 0-o this article invalidates itself just by existing... How are you going to relate alcohol to Wii fit? Does that even make sense? In any case, you'd be drinking more while playing a sit down game (like smash bros or halo) rather than during Wii fit. And why do you just assume you know the way peoples' minds work. Its very ****y sounding. Please learn how to review something and not bash it with ridiculous statements...

also, in case the reviewer is reading this. you're right, there arent any extensive work out routines involved, but grandma who is in a retirement home with nothing to do but plant and knit will get a hell of a lot more from using wii fit than you will get from writing this "article" hint: take a look at the bigger picture. hinthint: if you need to go to the gym to look at "tight butts" you're 1) going for the wrong reason and 2) you must be awful lonely at home

ahduhleen on 6/2/2008 1:33 pm

"With Wii Fit, you probably won't burn as many calories, nor will you get to stare at someone else's tight butt, which is one of the best reasons to work out." i believe the above statement is gross.. (2nd picture, last line) Reviewer?, you're an idiot, ftl.
