If you've been sad about the noticeable lack of video games at your local gym, you might want to seek out 32 year old personal trainer Zander Urquhart. Or, you could just cut out the middle man and play a lot of Wii Sports, hoping the constant activity helps you shed those pounds. Zander, from Glasgow, originally got the idea from a client's son."This five-year-old needed encouragement to do any exercise - but here he was running about for half-an-hour working up a sweat," he says, talking about the child playing with the Wii. This caused Zander to target children with the exercise program, at first, eventually moving on to clients of an older age, where Zander says the program has worked wonders.
We suggest you check out the rest of the piece, where some of the calorie values are broken down. It's surprising toread that, apparently, a 12.2-hour gaming week with the Wii will burn 1,830 calories.

It's only a matter of time before Richards Simmons: Wii Love Our Bodies comes out. Nintendo already builds tanks, and with their drones turned macho geeky soldiers; they shall take over the world leaving all but Pikmin in their wake.

Urk, and I thought there couldn't be anything uglier than Joystiq's Ballmer image...
