Default Players warned to warmup before playing Wii

The British Chiropractic Association has advised people to warm up before playing the Wii games. They are advising people to consider the Wii session as a form of excersise and hence do a warm up and a cool down. Players can then avoid “stiffness and possible injuries.”

The BCA has developed a ‘Wii Warm Up’ to help users retain nimble fingers but avoid over exertion and you can view it here (pdf).



Think of something from your childhood, a vivid memory. Between that time and now, every cell in your body has changed. So, were you really there?

That is quite honestly incredible!!?

What is this world coming too? everything is so formal.

Next we will have to take exams before we can play games.

Although I do understand the need to keep people fit and healthy.

Maybe Nintendo will end up bringing out a wii warmup?

Yeah if you just use your wrist that is the only bit you will get a bit of strain on bit if you get into the swing of things with say tennis or bowling... thats another story. for example when i first got my wii me and my flatmates played on it alot and two days after i got it i had a really sore side...as if id been to the gym the night before after not going for a long time! so to be fair once youve started using the muscles they'll get used to it and then you wont need to warm up. its not as if your lifting huge weights all the time!

I think it is a good idea aswell. maybe aq bit odd but still at least people are being warned about taking these proceders.

I must admit the first time I played it I was stiff the day after. Now I am fine.

Can you imagine.... Given the Japanese work policies... Before the start of a working day they do a group Tai Chi session... Just after the default safety screen the Wii defaults to a short warm up stretching session before it allows you to get to the game.... As if it aint bad enough standing near the window waving your arms about like a loon while firing plungers at Rabbids.....
