Wii Fit

I got Wii Fit yesterday. I almost took it back. Why? It told me, according to my BMI, I am obese. I almost took it back. I spent 35 minutes with it today. It is really neat if you have not heard about it. It has yoga, strength training, aerobics and balance training.

In the aerobics, you can do step aerobics. It is like the real thing, at least for me. I still cannot keep up. It starts off easy, just front, back, left, right. Then, after you do that a few times, you earn advanced aerobics. This has you going front, back, left, right and then throws turns at you. Like, turn yourself to the left or right before you step on the board and then step off. It does several different patterns in a row. It is not easy and keeps you breathing. It also has hula-hoop. This is fun. You just stand there and hula hoop, without the hoop. You have to catch hoops, or they hit you in the head. You can have five hoops. It measures how many turns your hula-hoops do. David has the record, with 291.

In balance, you start off with balancing balls on floors that move, ski slolam, ski jump and something else I can't remember right now. I cannot balance the balls. I stopped trying. I did the ski slolam until I got the advanced one which is way hard. Ski jump is not easy either. Travis has the record at that.

Yoga is something I am not trying very much right now. I don't think I can stand on one leg like a flamingo. Not yet. I did do the strength training, doing the warrior pose. I did one leg and then couldn't do the other one in the lunge. My left arm got numb when I tried to keep it in the air for a long time. That didn't feel good.

It did tell me that I have lost a pound. Though I do not think that is possible in one session. It's fun though. If you have a Wii, it is worth the $90 bucks it costs. Get it.
