Wow…I must not like much.
OK, I completely slacked over here on this blog. And it’s not that I don’t have anything that I like. Because I do. But almost three months? Well, here’s my excuse: Once Christmas came, I just got all busy. And I never jumped back on this horse…until now.
So, do you want to know what I bought for myself? I bought a Wii Fit.
Wii Fit Bundle
Now, I bought mine at Wal-Mart, and the bundle was definitely cheaper there than Amazon…but I digress. Now, I’ve NEVER been one for exercise. Ever. But, I felt this certain bit of responsibility deep inside me. Deep inside my overweight body. Now, I’m not extremely overweight, but I could definitely stand to lose 15 or 20 pounds. So, I bought this and told myself that if I was spending the money on this, I just HAD to use it.
And use it, I did. I’ve been using it daily for five weeks. And it’s FUN. It has yoga, strength training, aerobics and balance games. The kids even like it. They’re big fans of the ski games. It wasn’t even difficult to do it every day. I actually looked forward to it. If there had been a treadmill or some crazy exercise machine, I wouldn’t have done it every day. And that’s a fact. But now I’m so used to fitting some exercise time into my day, I’m pretty confident that I’ll keep it up.
Now, if you already are pretty active, the Wii Fit might be a bit of a bore. I was an exercise novice, so it definitely was good for me. Now that I’m starting to master some of the games (and not be completely out of breath), I can see that I’ll be looking for something a little bit more challenging. Like running. Or who knows…maybe even a treadmill.
Another reason that I really like the Wii Fit is because I can do it with the kids around. Have you ever tried to go for a walk with two small children in tow? It’s not exactly exercise. An exercise in patience, maybe. The kids even cheer me on sometimes. Other times, they are asking me to get them something to drink or fix a toy. But they’re starting to learn that when I am using the Wii, it’s ‘Mom’ time.
So, the Wii Balance Board with Wii Fit gets a thumbs up from me. If you were on the fence about purchasing one, I hope this post helped finalize your decision.
