It seems somewhat appropriate that I write a post about the Wii Fit immediately following a post about getting older 
Nevertheless, I finally got my hands on a Wii Fit on Sunday and am currently on day 5 of my new fitness regimine.
[Tip for anyone looking to acquire one of these space-age exercise "machines": if Toys R Us shows a Wii Fit in its Sunday ad, they will definitely have some in stock on Sunday morning. I arrived at 8am and was given ticket number nine (out of only 14 tickets). I then returned after the store opened and bought my Wii Fit!]
I’ve seen tons of 5-start reviews for this product, and it all seemed a little too-good-to-be-true, if you know what I mean. People *claim* to be losing tons of weight simply by using the Wii Fit each day. Well it’s too early for me to jump on the losing weight bandwagon, but I can definitely say the Wii Fit makes exercising fun and easy.
I’m one of those people who just can’t make enough time to actually go to the gym. I tried walking a mile around my neighborhood each morning, but then it rained for a week straight and I lost interest. But with the Wii Fit, you don’t have to worry if it rains, and no one cares if you exercise in your pajamas! So in essence, the Wii Fit is the perfect choice for the ultra lazy exerciser! That’s me!
So far, my favorite activity is the hoola-hooping… My husband says I look ridiculous doing that exercise, but my problem area is the “love handle” region as well as my *behind*. So, I totally feel it after hoola-hooping for 6 minutes! Whew! Add that to the step aerobics, some strength training, a few balance activities, and I’m actually sweating and panting while staring at my TV – who’d have ever thought it possible to do that (remember – I’m a woman and I’m not into X-rated TV)?
Stay tuned as I will check back in to let you know my progress.
