Man, your story almost mirrors mine. I bought my wife the gaming console so she could do the exercise program. Well, she’s at lunch with friends so I set it up. Without thinking much about it I decided to try bowling. No problem; then in the 10th frame I threw my hip out. Being tough, I finished the three-game set. I don’t know if I should tell my wife about it; she expects me to join her in the exercise program and I may be too lame to do it.

I got my first wii injury on new years. my cousin and i got very intense during a game of sword fighting. I’m in shaoe and play sports all year round and work out. I was sore for over a weak thinking that i just wasn’t used to playing wii but then realized i had really big and long swings. It has been a month and the pain worsened today after i heard a pop during my goalie practice. of course a bad shoulder doesnt stop me from having fun and playing sports. ai was told by my goalie coach i hyperextended it. Im going to the doctors today. Be careful while playing wii and remember it is very sensitive so you dont need wild swings. I let it get out of control.

I kid you not—I went to a retirement home to help provide the music for a little while, and a grandma bowled a perfect Wii bowling game. It was amazing!

I also had a Wii injury, mine was the Hula Hoop. Threw my hip out. Had to go for X-rays. Had the biggest bruise on my hip. BE CAREFUL.

It’s very easy to get hurt, or ‘sore’ from playing the WII. It might not even be that you’re out of shape, but that you’re using muscles you normally wouldn’t use in day to day activity. Unless you really play all of those games on some sort of regular basis, you’re bound to have some type of soreness after the first time you play.

Ouch. My right arm and shoulder are killing me, in spite of Advil. I only played for 1/2 an hour thinking I would get some exercise. I did tennis, bowling, golf and boxing and woke up with the pain. I hope it is better tomorrow.

Be careful. I got the wii about a month ago and my first injury came at the hands of “The Bigs”. Now I can’t move my wrist. But it was worth it.
