Fitness game does real harm<\/b> <\/p>\n

The exercise is fake — but the damage is real. <\/p>\n

I’ve already told you how the so-called exercises in the "Wii Fit" videogame provide no workout at all<\/font><\/a>…barely even rising to the level of simple walking. <\/p>\n

But while you won’t get a real workout…you may get something else that exercise offers: Injuries. A recent letter in the New England Journal of Medicine shows Wii Twits suffering from sprains, broken bones, head injuries, chest trauma and dislocations — all from playing a stupid TV game! <\/p>\n

And if you don’t wreck your body attempting these ridiculous exercises, you might wreck your home. Wii players are accidentally smashing TVs, windows and furniture with their full-motion games. <\/p>\n

Just enter "Wii damage videos" or "Wii injuries" in your favorite search engine or on YouTube. You’ll see dummies hurting themselves, hurting each other and destroying their homes in the name of this moronic game. <\/p>\n

You’ll laugh so hard at these poor fools you might get hurt yourself. <\/p>\n

Humans aren’t the only ones at risk. Just last month, a Wii player in Michigan walloped her dog with one accidental swing of the controller. The pooch had no breath or pulse… but was revived by a skilled neighbor. <\/p>\n

Remember, the best exercise is no exercise at all — just make sure your body gets a steady amount of natural movement. <\/p>\n

And that means turning off the TV. <\/p>\n

Out to prove that health is not a game,<\/p>\n
