I always like that "period" bit. Period.

Anyway, yes, you are agreeing with me. Then why does it sound so confrontational? If they made a game that asks you to do a bunch of jumping jacks for an hour, then that would be a cardio workout. Or if they made a game that asked you to punch the air for an hour, that would be a cardio workout. Or if they made a game that asked you to run for an hour, that would be a cardio workout. (Hint -- they've already made those last two.)

i think you could get a workout from playing your wii. would it be as effective as going out and running 3 miles, i don't know. i do know that your wii is no substitute for a weight routine, unless you are going to do weightless exercises....and a lot of those are really hard/advanced
