Just after the first of the year (February maybe) we got an opportunity to purchase a Nintendo Wii game system at Target (thank you Marci). It has been so much fun playing Wii sports like bowling. It really makes you feel like you are lining up on a lane at the local alley! Bryant loves some of the other sports also, like golf and tennis. The grandkiddles think it's a blast too and even the four year old can play along. Last weekend, Wii came out with their newest game software called Wii fit. It comes with a balance board that you use to get a real workout. The game gives you an option of using a personal trainer and then you earn points going through several levels of each area. There is yoga, strength training, balancing skills, aerobics, etc. It keeps track of your weight, height and body fat ratio. Helps you set goals for strengthening and weight loss. And the whole time you are having fun and getting a great workout. I haven't tried all of the areas yet with just two days use, but I'm already a little sore from the workout I am getting. One of the aerobic games is hula hooping? haha, well so far at my house I am the hula hoop queen! ( there is only two of us here though..hehe) Fun stuff keeping that hula hoop going as you add more. This morning I had 3 hoops (virtual of course) going at the same time! Another fun one I tried this morning was skiinng. You fly down a course having to turn back and forth going through gates, just like competion skiing. Have to admit this is the most fun I've had working these old bones. Check it out..I will keep you posted if I actually get rid of any of this weight. At the very least I will end up with toned fat and lots of fun at the same time. A wii-n / wii-n to me!
