Wii Work Out

When I read about Mickey DeLorenzo’s Wii weight loss/workout concept back in January I remember wondering if the concept had any legs. In other words, would anybody else make an attempt at using the Wii as an exercise tool.

Subsequently, I’ve read a few articles basically panning the concept. However, Miyamoto himself is reportedly developing Wii Health Pack and in terms of game innovation, the smart money is usually pretty safe on Miyamoto as far as I’m concerned.

Then there’s this guy. Armed with wrist weights, two Wii controllers and Miis named (cleverly enough) ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ - he is playing Wii Sports Tennis with… himself as a doubles partner. I have no doubt it’s a decent workout and - quite the spectacle I’m sure. I’d love to see a video of this in action.

Currently, he’s using 1kg wrist weights, but expects to move up to a 2kg set within a few weeks.
