Dec 01, 2008 - So you had a little too much turkey, gravy and stuffing on Thanksgiving (not to mention all the leftovers you indulged in), and you completely ignored Fit's assessments of how many calories your typical Thanksgiving Day meal contained, which means you've probably gained a few pounds.

What's Healthier Nintendo Playhouse or Wii Sports?

Apr 26, 2007 - There's been a lot of talk about the Nintendo Wii's Sports game being the answer to overweight video gamers that have a reputation for working out their fingers, but not their bodies. Most notably following one man's Wii Sports Experiment where he spent six weeks playing Wii games for 30 minutes a day and lost weight. Still, it seems clear that video games alone (no matter how interactive and fun they might be) are probably not the answer to solving the obesity problem in America. - 3 Comments

EA Sports Active 30 Day Challenge: Week Four

Jul 01, 2009 - As I near the homestretch of my EA Sports Active 30 Day Challenge, I am thoroughly impressed with how much muscle strength I've gained and how I feel generally healthier. After my issues with the Wii sensor and resistance bands last week, I decided to skip the bicep curls and upright rows since I couldn't seem to get my new resistance band to work with them (yes — even when I was going reallly slow and following the instructor!). Thankfully the game still gives me lots of upper-body workouts so I don't really notice that the other workouts are gone. - 2 Comments
