The Wii Mania is catching on and people are incorporating it into their daily lives.  If you love the Wii like I do then you will want to know how many calories you can burn doing some of the basic games.  Here is a breakdown Compliments of “Self Magazine.” 

Here’s the Wii Fit breakdown: 30 minutes of

Free Run and Island Run burned 165 calories

Rhythm Boxing 114,

Super Hula Hoop 111,

Advanced Step 108,

 Free Step 99.

 

    Ok, so maybe the Wii doesn’t burn the most calories.  However, it does beat just sitting around on the couch or not moving at all.  If your goal is weight loss then use the Wii as an “additive” to your normal workout routine.  You could also invest in some of the newer workout games that are geared towards burning more calories.
