Okay, so I'm hanging out with my family for a few days while my DH is off to NYC on business... I was complaining to my mom about having to run in the dark (and it's COLD to boot!) when she looks at me and says, "Why don't you just run with the Wii?"



So I decided, why the heck not! Ladies, I've got to tell you, this is more fun than I've ever had exercising in my LIFE! Before I knew it, I'd been "playing" for an hour and a half. I'm already sore... I can tell tomorrow's going to be difficult.

Seriously though, if you know anyone with a Wii, or if you have one... or if you can get one... DO IT!!! I'm totally going to come over and use my parent's more often. The little "Mii" character looks like you, and loses weight when you lose weight. There are other little "Miis" who cheer you on... and to make it all the more adorable, the whole thing is like getting sucked into this crazy sci-fi/anime/adorable little happy world where exercise isn't excruciating! I had a blast, and I honestly think this could help me stick to an exercise program.

I just had to share!

The Wii is amazing I've played on a friend's a bunch of times and I really want one!!!

We convinced FMIL to buy one just for the Fit. We've actually never played the games that come with it (golf, bowling, tennis, etc.) because we're so busy on the Fit. I OWN at that thing! I too will play for hours and hours on end. and the little mii's cheering you on are typically the other mii's you've made. So on ours if DF is playing it's like me, his sister and mom cheering him on, etc.

It's amazing! And (as I predicted last night...) I'm wicked sore. What else to expect when you're doing the Wii Fit for like... 2 hours!

I love it though. I'm going to have to try to convince DH to get me one... I succeeded with the PS2 and Guitar Hero last Christmas... maybe this year I'll get a Wii :-) I dunno though... ha ha ha!

Its on my christmas list. I haven't done the fit yet but the boxing game had me sore for days. Plus I love the beer pong on it! LOL Yes they have BEER PONG on wii! I can't remember which game one it is..it has darts and other games but the beer pong rocked! Its little so it travels well so a few of the other roadies have them!

It was for sure on my Christmas list. Now that I've unlocked the games on the fit I could kind of take it or leave it. It's awfully expensive, so I don't mind just playing on FMIL's.

Mike got the Wii for me on Tuesday right off the truck-- they don't stay in stock around here! Doing 21 minutes of step aerobics sure beat going for a walk in the 45 degree weather!
