Wii causing a bit of pain

If you got one, you know what it looks like when people are playing.

It is the gift making people look a wii bit crazy.

Firefighter Paul Dezzi says, "I try to last longer than the kids, but that doesn't happen."

He admits it's leaving him a wii bit beat.

"I played two games, and I can feel my arm... look my shirt is soaked"

It's called wii...

It's a gaming system by Nintendo that uses digital sensors so you are virtually playing the sport.

"It's a lot different than atari pong I'm used to."

Dezzi works out regularly, and says he's got it.

In fact, a lot of people are now complaining about... wii soreness.

"I can attest to wii soreness."

The urban dictionary even has a term for it.

They call it wii elbow, and define it as "the pain experienced from playing any wii game for extended periods of time."

Dezzi says, "these guys were complaining their shoulders were hurting but sometimes maybe their hurt was good."

But besides a few calories burned, your only prize for all this work is bragging rights.

Dezzi said he's feeling the wii soreness in his arm and his lower back.

"I'm thinking these guys, they're hopping around a room, can't be that bad. it taught me a lesson."

Yes, the lesson this holiday season - sometimes it's a wii bit less painful to just sit on the couch.
