WiiFIt for half an hour a day can help.

Well, it can help a bit, they weren't massive reductions but people who did wiifit for half and hour a day for 12 weeks lowered HbA1c, weight and fasting glucose.

As the article says any exercise is good.

Any exercise is better than none!

We use Just Dance on the wii quite a lot. Gets you surprisingly out of breath!

My mum and dad got a wii with wiifit a few years ago with the vision of using it for maybe an hour a week and lose some weight (my mum isn't the most active person ever) and well... my mum got on the board and it went through all the testing, weighing, yada yada yada and told her she had a fitness age of about 15 years above her actual age! Needless to say, she never used it again
