Wii ‘good for motivating those’ who do not like exercise

Shoes from Mizuno, Hi-Tec, Keen and Merrell will be perfect for those computer players looking to lose weight through playing virtual sports games on their Nintendo Wii.

The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) has recognised that playing games on game consoles such as the Nintendo console contributes to the 30 minutes of exercise that people should aim for each day.

A spokesperson for the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) said: “Physiotherapists support the idea of games consoles that encourage players to get up from the sofa and become more active.”

He added that players will have to strap on their exercise shoes, whether they be from Ecco, Merrell or Keen, and warm up before playing the virtual sporting game.

“People should use some appropriate warm-up techniques before playing one of the more demanding sports-based games,” he said.

Recently it was reported on the BBC website that playing on consoles such as the Nintendo Wii can improve a surgeon’s performance in the operating theatre.
