Bhupesh Vasisht, MD answers: Getting in shape with a Nintendo Wii?

I see that some new Nintendo Wii games are being heavily advertised right now for the fitness benefits... I am just wondering if working out via video game is actually good exercise.  Doctors - do you think that exercising with Wii video games will actually help me get in shape?

Successful exercising requires discipline. The best part about the Wii fit (I have it at my house) is that it is goal oriented. You are actually interacting with the game, which almost feels like you have a personal trainer. I highly recommend this to most patients.

Helpful?
