A group of 29 students spent working the punching bag and also the Wii. The end result was that the students burned only 28 more calories when working out on the boxing bag (which is statistically insignificant). So keep punching away at Wii Boxing. text/html 2008-05-19T12:04:11+01:00 http://www.workoutwithwii.com http://www.workoutwithwii.com/content/view/75/2/ One of the most widely anticipated title for the Wii is being released today in the US.

Most popular apparently was Wii Bowling. Apparently this is a growing trend with the elderly. The Seattle Examiner ran a story entitled Area seniors catch Wii fever (http://www.examiner.com/a-1153444~Area_seniors_catch_Wii_fever.html) about this new segment of gamers. Workout With Wii salutes our more senior Wii owners. Anything that gets people socializing and more active is a good thing. text/html 2007-12-31T20:07:08+01:00 http://www.workoutwithwii.com http://www.workoutwithwii.com/content/view/73/2/ We are asking users to nominate their favorite Wii games for working out (http://forum.workoutwithwii.com/viewtopic.php?t=104).
