Wii Fit

Brace yourself...I've been working out! Yes, I know it's hard to believe, but I've been working out using my Wii. This past Christmas John bought me all the things you need to play Wii. I love playing it. Some of the games are a real hoot and you really get a workout when you play the sports games like bowling or tennis. I'm actually working up a sweat!

For my birthday, John bought me the Wii Fitness package. Well, over spring break, I got out the fitness stuff and put it to the test. I thought I'd never make it through any of the programs and I'd hate it, but I have to tell you, I'm really getting a workout!

My favorite part, so far, is the Step Aerobics. They start you out slow, but as you get better, you can unlock more challenging levels. I'm actually up to level 3 on the step aerobics. I love doing them unless Shae gets in the way...which she does...a lot! Otherwise, I've been doing great and breaking my own records.

I've also tried some of the balance and fitness programs too. Those, I'm not so good at. I have terrible balance. And I think I'm lopsided. That little red dot that you're supposed to keep in the center of the yellow spot keeps bouncing all over the place!

Tonight, after my 20 minutes of step aerobics, I decided I'd try something new. I had recently unlocked "boxing". I didn't think I'd like it, but as it turns out, it's another favorite on my list. I did about another 15 minutes of boxing bringing today's total to 35 minutes of workout. Now that may not seem like much to you, but for me...that is a huge feat!

The bonus of it all, I only started this on Thursday (4/9) and had gone through all the weight trials and everything. Today was day 5 since I started, but the 4th day that I actually did a workout. According to my Wii records, I've lost 5 pounds! Wooohoo! Who knew working out could be so much fun??!!!
