Brit Girls Gone Wild

Home Alone and wreaking havoc:

...women working out on the Nintendo Wii Fit video game have helped cause £20 million of damage to their living rooms.

Flower pots, television sets and even pets have been sent flying by the high kicks and hula hoop motions of increasingly vigorous home exercise routines, a study found.

....While working out at home has been a popular pursuit since the rise of the keep-fit video, the study found that the launch of the Wii Fit console, which went on sale in Britain last month, has led to a surge in popularity.

As many as 86 per cent of the 1,000 women polled earlier this month said they already owned a Wii Fit or were planning to get one soon.


But the study also found that the average living room now contains just 21sq ft of free space - meaning that furniture and fittings will remain in the firing line.
