Me and my Wii Fit

Last week, my Wii Fit arrived. I hooked it up to my Wii and life hasn’t been the same since.  I get home from work each day, throw on some yoga clothes and do my weird workout. Its a weird workout because I get to choose from a variety of activities – everything from jogging (though its in place and the pace is sometimes set by a small dog that you have to run behind) to yoga (with a male trainer that I enjoy watching from behind) to aerobics.  The exercises get ‘banked’ into an animated piggy bank and the minutes add up quickly. 4 minutes for hula hooping, 2 minutes for a yoga pose, 30 minutes for ’stepping’ in time to a beat (while watching the tv show of your choice).

The most motivating part for me is the log-in process. The calendar stamps you in and via a line graph, you get to see how your weight and BMI are dropping. In the 5 days of working out, I’ve lost 4lbs and my BMI has decreased. The computer geekette in me loves the novelty of it – far more interesting and fun than the treadmill. I’ll keep you guys posted as the weeks continue. In the meantime, there are some interesting Wii Fit & Fitness blogs/sites online:
