Finally tried the Fit

[melaniesuzanne]

aelf let annerism and me play with her Wii Fit Saturday evening and we both got hooked. In a fit of there's-nothing-on-TV-and-I-don't-want-to-do-laundry last night, I took my own Wii Fit for a spin.

The body test was appropriately disheartening and my chunky little bloated Mii was cruel but true. I started out the evening with a Wii Fit age of 43. After thirty minutes of games, I retested and dropped ten years off my Wii Fit age. Sweet. That hula hoop game is a killer, but I went from 81 hoops/loops/rotations/whatever to 289 once I figured out how to catch the other hula hoops being thrown at my Mii.

Surprisingly, I was sweaty and kind of tired after thirty minutes of running, jumping, gyrating and posing. I think this will be a decent alternative on those I-really-don't-want-to-go-to-the-gym days.

Could I try yours out some time to see if I want to add a Wii and a Wii Fit to the budget?

My mom's already poking me about bringing the wii home at Christmas. My brother -- who lives 10 minutes away from my mom -- has a wii, but won't bring it over. She's excited about trying the Fit.

I love my Wii Fit - and I've ended up doing it most mornings rather than a video, because I can do what I feel like doing, rather than the same routine.

Plus - rhythm boxing = tres fun.

But it is depressing to keep hearing it say "That's Obese" every time I do a body test.

Ooh, I haven't unlocked rhythm boxing. That sounds interesting.

This is crazy, but I think my favorite game last night was the three minute jog through the park. It was fun seeing all my friends' and family's mii along the path.

Rhythm boxing is very fun. :-)

I'm borrowing my brothers at this time. I'm surprised how much of a work out it really is using the Wii.

My favorite (so I'm a dork) is the advanced step. It took me a while to keep up with the miis, but I think its great fun!
