18 Daily Tech: The Wii Fit Takes Over Times Square
Many people claim that Wii games like Just Dance offer sweaty, heart-pumping results. This weekend, I tried it out for myself. Using this heart calculator, I found my target cardio range should be between 98-146 beats per minute. After 30 minutes of dancing, my heart rate peaked at 120 bpm.

We knew the Wii Fit's balance board is to blame for hours of fun, and maybe even some weight loss, but sex addiction? That's news to me! According to a report out of the UK, a 24-year-old woman recently took a tumble off of her balance board and damaged a nerve, which led to a diagnosis of "persistent sexual arousal syndrome," giving her sexual cravings up to 10 times a day. Thankfully, the Read more
Sometimes getting healthy can be a dangerous thing, even when playing a video game. Being sore after an intense round of Wii bowling isn't too unusual, but a young girl recently suffered a foot fracture while playing Wiii Fit. Yowza! The 14-year-old girl fell off of the Wii balance board, probably while doing one of the yoga poses that requires a bit of balance from standing on one leg. If you're Read more
