I know many of you out there are wondering how Wii Fit burns calories compared to doing the real thing. Diet Blog has a great article about just this & references the full study. Diet Blog concludes this:
"The Wii sports games are not as effective as real sports but certainly better than sitting on the couch.
Wii games are a good alternative for those who don't want to go outside for whatever reason.
The key to getting a decent workout with Wii is to try and mimic the sport as closely as possible.
Bowling is not a sufficient workout whether you are playing a video game or actually bowling (hopefully you don't find bowling very strenuous). "
