IS PLAYING THE NINTENDO WII CONSIDERED EXCERSIZE? PLEASE SAY YES!

I'm trying to justify the purchase of the Nintendo WII (if I can find one).   I realize that this is really far fetched, but I promised myself to get heathier this year and that should be my focus - not playing video games.   But you do move about a lot and something is better than nothing?  Help me out people.

Nintendo specifically intended for this unit to incorporate exercise with play!  Hence the new wireless remotes that encourage active range of motion for your upper extremities!  Then you have to be standing to play some of the games so again there is active range of motion for your lower extremities.  My conclusion, you are crazy not to purchase the new and get rid of the old!

If you want soemthing that will get you moving get DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) I LOVE that it has a calorie counter and it does get me all sweaty after about 10 minutes. I find I like it so much more than aerobics of the normal kind.
 
Does that help?

Dance Dance Revolution is going to be the death of me.   How do you get your feet to move like that?   Practice, practice, practice.
