Are you fat? Well if you can stand feeling like an idiot, dance around with a Wii!
Okay, you might have heard this story before, but The Des Moines Register is running a story about J.R. Cook losing 20 pounds just by playing the Nintendo Wii. He put up an entire site about his experience. So if you’re lazy, and you know you are, this may be for you.
And seriously, according to the article, obesity cost $77 million in insurance claims this past year. That’s right, if you put down your 360 controller and pick up a Wii remote, not only will you have a better chance of getting a date, you might just save the U.S.A., or even the world, a bunch of money.
Oh, nevermind about that date part–I didn’t meant to give you false hope.
Im sold! Off to BestBuy… hehehe
Is that the after picture, zombie?
I am surprised that people are surprised that you can lose weight from it. We’re not talking major pounds quickly but this guy never exercised before and he’s eating better. I know if I can get a Wii I would work on my arms. The boxing isn’t that much different from some of the workout tapes I have.
