I played the boxing game on the Wii for about an hour one day at a friends house and let me tell you, it sure felt like exercise to me. Now if you siimply sit and do the hand motions than no, it's not exercise, but if you get up and get into the game, than it definitley gives your heart rate a boost. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joshua]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 28th 2007 12:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/26/playing-wii-is-not-exercise-says-scientists/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/26/playing-wii-is-not-exercise-says-scientists/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't think the Wii was made as an alternative to exercise!!!

Surely the Wii isn't actual exercise, but just 12 more calories per hour than sitting on your butt?  If you get into the tennis game and move around a bit, it's a decent amount of activity.  Maybe I just get really into it.  And I'm a fairly active person (run 3 miles a few times a week).<br><br>I would imagine it probably depends on how you play it...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cee Lo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 26th 2007 6:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/26/playing-wii-is-not-exercise-says-scientists/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/26/playing-wii-is-not-exercise-says-scientists/</guid><description><![CDATA[Rock on jer!

Xbox360 with its derivative gameplay and red ring of death and PS3 with its overpriced 2 good games are both underwhelming more of the same. Kudos to Nintendo for thinking "outside the box"!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 26th 2007 6:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/26/playing-wii-is-not-exercise-says-scientists/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/26/playing-wii-is-not-exercise-says-scientists/</guid><description><![CDATA[Obviously they have never seen me and my cousin play Wii Tennis. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tiler Cassidy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 26th 2007 7:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/26/playing-wii-is-not-exercise-says-scientists/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/26/playing-wii-is-not-exercise-says-scientists/</guid><description><![CDATA[man scientists r idiots. they waste money on finding out if a wii helps excercise r not instead of finding a cure to breast cancer or somethng. duh it doesn't help excercise. scientsts need lives, not acess to abunch of money to waste it on this crap. they're morons]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Longshot]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 27th 2007 5:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/26/playing-wii-is-not-exercise-says-scientists/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/26/playing-wii-is-not-exercise-says-scientists/</guid><description><![CDATA[Actually, I dropped 20 lbs doing 30 minutes of Wii per night (try the boxing and tennis) and one hour of DDR each weekend. And, using a heart monitor, I found that I was burning 250 calories in that half hour of Wii playing. If you just stand there and shake the Wii-mote, no you're not burning many calories. But if you actually move around--then you burn calories. :) It's just like anything else exercise-related--you have to move. But at least doing it via the Wii is more fun than sitting on a stationary bike. <br><br>Peace.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Girl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 26th 2007 7:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/26/playing-wii-is-not-exercise-says-scientists/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/26/playing-wii-is-not-exercise-says-scientists/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree Girl.
