Nintendo Wii Doesn’t Really Help Kids Exercise
February 29, 2012 My youngest son is a "Gamer". For those of you who are not aware of the term, it applies to kids who "seriously" play video games. By "seriously" I mean that they spend an inordinate amount of time playing. For some kids it absorbs their life. Others find a way to blend it in with the real world, but still invest a lot of time playing. One of kids newest tools to convince mom and day to buy them a gaming system is the promise that it will make them exercise more. Don't buy it! A newly released study says that’s not the way it works.
