How To Lose Weight Playing Wii

Focus on the aerobic activities. Yoga and balance games will help you get fit, and strength training will build muscles that burn calories more efficiently, but aerobic exercises are the most direct route to weight loss.

Start boogying to “Dance Dance Revolution:” Research shows that people burn about 172 calories per half hour on light mode, 201 on standard, and 243 on difficult.

If dancing is not your thing, try Wii Sports. One study found that Wii boxing burned an impressive 216 calories per 30 minutes. Tennis came next, at 159 calories per half hour, followed by baseball, at 135 calories for every 30 minutes of play.

Type the words “Wii weight loss program” into a search engine; you’ll find regimens devised by users who have successfully lost weight using their Wii.

Play every day if you can. Because Wii activities burn fewer calories than their real-life counterparts, you’ll need to play more often to get results.
