The good, the bad, and Wii Fit

By schellfamily

OK, so I know it has been a while, but summer is here and it’s much more fun to be outside in the pool than in here on the computer.  So, after months of calling and popping in and out of game stores and the big chain stores, I finally found a Wii Fit!  Have you heard about it?  I was so excited to get it out and “get fit!”  So, last night Brandon and I set it up, literally took about 2 minutes!  Super easy, as we are both a little technical challenged!  So, the first thing you do is enter all your stats, age, height, gender, etc. It then weighs you and calculates your BMI or Body Mass Index.  After this it has you perform a series of balance test to determine, along with your BMI, your new “wii fit age.”  Here’s the bad- I totally beat Brandon on the BMI and the balance test.  He was aged at 30, which is dead on and I was aged 32!!!  Can you believe that???  I told him change my gender to male and I would totally kick butt!  Now, on to the good- It has 4 different areas, yoga, strength, aerobic, and balance games.  We started in on a very competitive heat, as he was already thinking he could out play me!  Or should I say out fit me?  We ended up splitting most, but I think in the end I did edge him a little!  One of the aerobics is the hula hoop, now you don’t actually use a hula hoop, you just sway your hips.  Now picture this, Brandon, Mr. Contractor, up on the Wii Board with NO and I mean absolutely NO, rythem swaying those hips of his!  It was so funny, I was crying!  I have got to video it and get it on here!  I truly think we would win some kinda award!  We had a blast with our new wii fit and burned extra calories with all the laughing!  If you are thinking about purchasing one, go for it!!!  We set our fitness goals and I’ll keep you posted on our progress!  May the best one win!
