Canadian students from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia decided that they wanted to see how a workout with the Wii compares to more conventional exercises. These students could care less about scientific research apparently (or don't read Wii Fanboy, either of which being a crime against humanity), as took matters into their own hands and came up with an exercise scheme. Their conclusion, much like that of the scientists mentioned previously, was that although the Wii certainly did increase cardiovascular activity, it in no way was intense enough for them.
Hopefully, whenever Wii Fit releases, the Wii will be a more viable solution for serious health nuts. Until that day, we'll just keep having fun with our low impact sessions of Wii Sports.
[Thanks, gusto! Do you so happen to be an emcee?]

The only time I worked up a sweat with WW:SM was when I realized I wouldn't be able to get my fifty bucks back for that POS.

I love how the article pictures the balance board in use but the "study" only used Wii Sports boxing against walking.
Sigh.
