(this is not velochimp editor Marcello Prattico… I will give a weightloss update on my training soon)

The Nintendo Wii is a revolution in gaming in that you actually have to move your body, not just your thumbs. So what kind of difference can playing the Nintendo Wii have on your daily routine? A big difference.

For most people this is their most anticipated category. To be honest, I was genuinely surprised by my end results, so I’ll just get right to it. I lost 9lbs! Obviously this doesn’t compare to Jared and the Subway diet, but I started out at a weight that I’ve been at for the past 2 years.

I lost almost 2% of my body fat by doing nothing more than playing video games for an extra 30 minutes everyday.

Could this be a good off season training option for bike racing?

    Hey, sorry that isn’t me. Just the guy that runs the wiinintendo.net website. I will give an update on my weight loss progress.

    I’ve lost about 10lbs and have been doing lots of weights and running. I probably gained some muscle mass, but folks have been giving me compliments on my weight loss.

    Well, I’ve fancied one of these things for a while and this looks like justification to me! :)

    Thanks for posting your research and results! :)
