Mom Lost 56 Pounds on Wii Boxing

From momlogic.com:

When mom Donna Schwartz Mills tipped the scales at 184 pounds, she knew she had to do something about it. Fast. But, as a busy working mom, she just didn’t have time to go to the gym. So she tried her daughter’s Wii Boxing video game … and lost 56 pounds!
Momlogic met up with Donna at Whole Foods in Pasadena as she participated in a Nintendo cooking competition. The event, hosted by David Ruprecht of Supermarket Sweep, challenged the contestants to find the ingredients and cook a meal all with the help of the new “Personal Trainer: Cooking” for Nintendo DS game. When the competition was over, we asked Donna why she credits Wii Boxing with helping her get fit.

From news.yahoo.com:

“In front of 1,000 cheering fans one recent Saturday night, Sazhin moved his bishop to go in for the kill and won the world championship of chess boxing, a weird hybrid sport that combines as many as five rounds of pugilism with a game of chess.

The combatants switch back and forth between boxing and chess — repeatedly putting their gloves on and taking them off, so that they can move the pieces around the board without clumsily knocking them over — in a sort of brains-and-brawn biathlon.”
