Wii Fit And The Hulla Hoop Warning!

by Julia on April 17, 2010

With the popularity of the Wii fit amongst people of all ages and fitness levels there comes a new rash of wii related injuries. Apart from the obvious injuries like falling off the step and twisting an ankle comes some very unusual ones.

I’ve seen two people recently  who have pulled a muscle called QL. QL is a muscle that helps with lateral flexion and also stabilises the spine.

These people have pulled QL by doing the hulahoop exercise!  It seems like there over enthusiastic hulahooping has put too much strain on the muscle and it’s either pulled slightly or gone into spasm.

Remember, the Wii Fit is still exercise.  You still need to warm up carefully and take as much care while doing the exercises as you would if you were in class.  For some reason people seem to think that the Wii Fit is some sort of toy and although it can be a lot of fun you still need to take care.

I wait with bated breath to see what other than usual exercise related injuries I have seen that are Wii Fit related.

So have fun but take care you don’t fall victim like my hapless clients :)
