Gaming Away the Pounds

I came across this reading Yahoo News. It is about people using DDR and Wii for a workout. Gaming Away the Pounds. I actually use a DDR on a PS2 for a great aerobic workout.

There is also a link to a website about using DDR in schools for phys. ed.

Sorry, man. I ran across this the other day:

Techdirt: Nintendo's Own Study Show Wii Not So Great As Exercise

I would argue that Wii Fit is an exception, since that's its purpose, though.

The techdirt article seem like it may be a hit piece. Like someone posting in it's comments pointed out the second link is:

"http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071221-study-wii-gaming-no-substitute-
for-exercise-fatso.html"

I have not seen a Wii fit but I do DDR and know that it will get you blood pumping and wear your legs out.

The article they are referencing, though, is from BBC news/health.
