I lift weights and do yoga why do I hurt so badly after one game of boxing?

i was wondering the same thing... i love Wii!

my roomates all played one night and we were all sore the next day.  who knew that a video game would actually feel like a workout

o i feel your pain, literally haha. i have guitar hero and i have to stop playing b/c my forearms hurt from it!
My husband is still playing with that thing, would not want to be him tomorrow morning hehehe.

AMAZING Game! I'm actually about to play right now! (thanks for the workout idea!)

I played last year at a friends' New Years Party and i was so sore from it. It was funny because my boyfriend had played about 10x as much and kept asking me for a massage all day.

Another great game (like Guitar Hero) is Rock Band (X-Box 360). I play the drums and that's all upper body. Goodness... You start working up a sweat and everything! I love these "physical" games SOOO much!

One last bit: There's a new game for the Wii: http://e3nin.nintendo.com/wii_fit.html or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_Fit

It's called Wii Fit and it's AMAZING!!!! You put in your height, weight, BMI and everything and then it keeps you updated with what you're losing, etc. Your little Mii will lose weight with you too! It has aerobics, yoga, stretching, balance exercises, and calisthenics. It looks AMAZING and I have all but TOLD my boyfriend he needs to get this for me! :)

Too bad it doesn't come out until second quarter (April-June) :(

I'm gonna be one of the first to get it though!!!

I've got wii boxing and ddr. My feeling on the two is why have the married them? You move your feet on the pad and your character moves the same?

Wii boxing kicked my butt the first month we had it.  

hehe oh man.  i feel the pain. i played way too much wii golf at first and whacking the crap out of that driver made me hurt my wrist.  i am now VERY careful about swinging with my arm, rather than using a lot of wrist force!!! 

wii fit looks reaaaally awesome!!! 

I LOVE WII BOXING!!!!

i have the wii sports quartet (boxing, golf, baseball, tennis), and boxing is by FAR the best one of them. you really do get into it! i rarely use my upper body for anything outside of purposeful exercise, but it felt great punching the daylights out of some dude! i've never gotten sore playing the wii. maybe b/c i do a lot of strength training in my arms? (do you?) i want great arms one day, so i'm working them as much as the rest of my body.

i really want dance dance revolution. i got hooked on it at the movie theater one day waiting for my show to start. maybe i'll get it as a weight loss reward soon.

btw, i suck at rock band! guitar or drums, doesn't matter!

Has anyone heard when Wii Fit will be coming to stores!  I love my DDR and can't wait to get Wii Fit!
