First I should tell you that I enjoy the Wii but I am not a "gamer" so when I get a moment (and boy are they far and few between) I will sit down for a few minutes and play. Last week I got a Wii Fit game as a gift; before I go on , something you should no about me is, I am quite the collector of exercise equipment, DVD's, and dust... on them.
So when I received this gift I was excited, to loose all these darn pounds that have piled up around me, I would call it pregnancy weight but she is 7 and so I guess that excuse sailed far away. I would blame Pepsi, but really a perfect beverage like that just can't possibly be at fault.
Now this thing does a BMI, and tracks your weight, it even changes your Mii character to match the figures, I never laughed so hard, when the reality of my Mii widened out.
There are games that emulate the activities so for the aerobics I do hula hoops or running (there are few to choose from) and this darn thing actually knows when I slow down, or if my circles are not big enough. You get points for all the different factors and other things to distract you from the fact that you are excercising.
So its been about 5 days, and I do the yoga exercises and then switch between aerobics and strength so far I have lost 2.4 pounds!!! I am amazed because seriously I have not changed my bad eating habits... mostly because I love food and DIETS SUCK! And I have even skipped a day of excercise.
This is working so far also because the board thingy (not a technical term) really measures everything you do and can tell if something is wrong, there is also this little bubble thing on the screen that tells if you are off balance. And my favorite feature is that there is no skinny, hyper lady bouncing around yelling about how great you are doing when you have given up and are really just trying to find the stop button on the remote...
So if you ask me, I think this just might work!
Wii shall see.... (shameless pun, just for you)
