Tips to help you avoid Wii Fit injuries

Since the release of the Nintendo Wii Fit in May 2008, doctors have seen injuries such as muscle strains, rotator cuff shoulder damage, and other upper body problems. It has been noted that most injuries occur because players do not warm up or stretch before playing the virtual sports. This article, Nintendo Wii Fit Can Cause Injuries, offers a few tips on how to avoid some of these injuries. Here are a few:
1. People who are new to exercise or new to playing the Wii system should pace themselves and not overdo it.
2. Make sure you allow plenty of unobstructed room to play the games, follow the game instructions carefully, and monitor your children’s playtime.
3. Nintendo offers health and safety guidelines in a manual that is provided with the Wii Fit and there is also an in-game trainer that gives demonstrations of each sport or activity before it is performed - utilize these resources before you play.
