Does Wii Fit work? Itās hard for me to tell, personally, as my Little Debbie Zebra Cake intake ratio is tied proportionally to my progress in the non-game. See, Iām not a scientist.
Thankfully, researchers at the University of Mississippi ā specifically researcher Scott Owens ā are evaluating Wii Fitās ability to make you more physically fit, doing it more scientifically, with control groups and larger sample sets. Thatās more respectable than me trying to remember if I played Wii Fit last week and tallying discarded Zebra Cake shrinkwrap.
The study, which kicked off in the Fall of 2008, will monitor the physical fitness of eight families. Researchers will chart the progress of the Wii Fit-using families, with and without the software, comparing it to the data collected in-game.
While we anxiously await the results, howās your own Wii Fit regimen treating you? Which regions could be described as āof steelā? Hey, keep it PG.
