Okay- can I just say that one of the absolute best inventions arrived in the mail today. I have only had it a few short hours, but I would do a testimonial on it based on what I have seen so far. I am of course talking about the new Wii Fit!
I had preordered my wii fit back in March, and I have been waiting ever so patiently for it to arrive. It is all over Japan and has been out over here for months, but their wii fit won't FIT our wii fit, so we had to wait. I have read the reviews and seen it advertised, but I really didn't know if it would live up to its hype.
I am here to say that this thing is incredible. It has given me by BMI (body mass index) and weighed me. The scary thing is that based on my info, it calculated my Wii Fit Age. Basically it told me that I am weak, and my body is quickly falling apart. I keep telling myself, it is just a board- what does it know?? I set my fitness goals, so now it is up to me (and of course my personal trainer).
I have tried the yoga, and my personal trainer is encouraging, but also lets me know if I am slacking. She tells me I will get better with practice every day. I have also tried the aerobics, which kicked my you know what. The strength training has awesome ab workouts, plus much more.
The boys even love this thing. After dinner we all played, and the big hit was the ski slalom, which involves moving your body on the balance board to weave through all of the flags throughout the course. Another great one is heading the soccer balls, in which you have to lean to head the balls while avoiding flying cleats.
I truly think that Nintendo has nailed it with this one! They have thought of it all. I can only imagine what will be next. In the meantime, I strongly recommend that if you don't already have the Wii, go buy it, and if you only buy one game, get the Wii Fit. You won't be disappointed!! It is healthy and fun entertainment, not to mention, quite a good workout!!
