You need to do more than jump around the loungeroom playing virtual tennis to get REAL exercise man :lol:
Grab a bike and go street ride with Edwin Delarosa...he lives in NYC :-D
PZ.
I'm with Fingers on this one. Swinging your arms around in the living room is NOTHING like the exercise you get from real tennis or any other sport for that matter.
And the Wii fit isn't going to get you any more fit than jumping around on a Dance Dance Revolution mat.
IF you use it as a start... fine. But you'll probably use more energy going for a 30 minute walk every day than using the Wii.
If you just want to do it to have fun... then cool. Just don't expect to run a marathon or even climb stairs easier than before just cause you are using a Wii.
BTW, after having played with it... I'm not exactly sold on the Wii-mote. I was begging for a joystick at times.
It is definately a lot more fun to watch people play games with it though! LOL
