Move Your Wii
This morning I received an email pointing me to a site dedicated to exercise via the Wii. The site’s self-description is as follows:
Using your Nintendo Wii for exercise and aerobics is what MoveYourWii.com is all about. If you want to exercise with your Wii and track your weight loss, sign up for your free account.
You can keep track of the various Wii games you’ve played, and you’ll be able to exercise and weigh-in to see how “Moving Your Wii” is helping you achieve your weight loss goals.
I have not signed up myself, so I cannot leave a glowing testimonial or anything, but those who are interested in using the Wii as an exercise tool may want to check it out.
MoveYourWii.com lists the following games as the the top titles for exercising:
1. Super Mario Galaxy
2. WarioWare: Smooth Moves
3. Mario & Sonic at The Olympics
4. Wii Fit
5. Dance Dance Revolution
6. Zelda: Twilight Princess
7. Wii Sports
8. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
9. Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam
10. SSX Blur
The site also keeps track of Wii-exercise related news.

As we’ve talked about before, some is better than none when it comes to exercise. But I don’t get some of these games on here. Super Mario Galaxy for one. I’ve played that for hours straight and other than perhaps a wrist injury from whipping around the controller to make Mario spin, I’m not sure what sorts of ‘exercise’ I did. I have heard The Olympics is a bit more labor intensive though.
