I must admit the Wii is very fun, and if you play Wii sports sparingly, you can definitely work up a sweat. I suggest you look into Wii Fit for more ways to work out when you cannot hit the gym. Also Dance Dance Revolution is a landmark game in losing weight and is fun because the competitive gamer inside you will want to always beat the highest score. There are other dancing games as well and there are a lot of sites that sell a universal dance pad that really works well for most systems. [MalacastAgent]
