I’m coming down the home stretch of my 30 day Wii Exercise Experiment. For the past 25 days I have worn wrist weights while playing Wii Sports at least 30 minutes each day. I’m hoping to have my final results posted on January 30th, so check back.
So far I can confidently say that I’ve lost more weight than Mickey DeLorenzo, though to be fair, I should mention that I started out with 80 pounds to lose and started out with… five? I think I’ve also made a decision about what I’ll do after the 30 days are up, but I’ll post more about that in the final results.
For now I just want to mention that Wii Sports Tennis is a darn fine game not because it’s fun and gets you moving, but because the skill level in Tennis always seems just perfectly match my playing skills. For the past week or so I’ve been neck and neck with the computer player through all of my matches, left-handed and right-handed. I play the “5 out of 5″ option and almost every single game has come down the last 5th match and often down to just a point or two one way or the other.
I’m consistently having long volleys, getting fun gameplay and a decent workout by the end of each game. That alone makes Nintendo a top-notch game company in my book.









look at day 15 for my comment
