After that point all family members were required to wear wrist strips.

In other news, the first cases of Wii-elbow are being reported:

Nintendo vice president of marketing Perrin Kaplan put it plainly. "[The Wii] was not meant to be a Jenny Craig supplement," she told the WSJ. "If people are finding themselves sore, they may need to exercise more."
