Boxing on the Wii

My quiet, shy son loves to box on the Wii. I never thought we'd have a video game, but since we do now, I am trying to be positive. Maybe it will give him some self confidence?

The point of this post is that my husband and son have been complaining that their wrists hurt. We realized it's from playing on the Wii once or twice a week. I guess they are using muscles they wouldn't otherwise be using. My husband says he saw a health report about the increase in the number of wrist/hand problems because of this very thing. Too funny! So if you have a Wii and your wrist hurts, now you know why!

Oh and my son went bowling for real and did excellent after practicing on the Wii. I hope the same holds true for tennis and baseball!

Has anyone else had this wrist problem?
