[B]According to a study conducted by Dr. John Porcari from the University of Wisconsin, playing video games can help you lose weight. Of course this only applies to specific games such as EA's [I]Sports Active[/I] and [I]EA Sports Active More Workouts [/I]both for the Wii Fit. [/B]

The American College of Sports Medicine suggests that people get moderate-intensity exercise five days a week and 20 minutes of vigorous exercise three times a week.
