Found this article on time.com ( http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1584697,00.html ) about the wii and your health.
I can relate to the part about sore muscles. Thinking about switching arms for a while for tennis!

I'm not a fitness guru, though I am active and in shape, and I was sore for about the first 3 or 4 days I owned my Wii.

ive actually never been sore while playing my wii. id like to think i am quite healthy, im in good shape, im not over weight and i have a decent diet.

im also not very weedy/weak, (aching will probably occure becuase of lack on strength and/or muscle) and i really do think the wii has helped me lose some weight.

OMG. f- them! I bet they havent played it for more then 1 day. The wiimote weights about 5 AA batterys and if your going to get strains (like a pansy) from that then you need to eat more. I swear the only reason time post a article about wii is because its so popular. I doubt they have done a reveiw without putting "dont let it fall out your hands ha ha ha" in ever paragraph! Grr!

(thats my days worth of angry)

I will admit I get the Wii-elbow when I play and if I play baseball it hurts my shoulder's slightly. But Part of it is because my anxiety causes me to over-tense my muscles and that tends to lead me toward being tight.
