Its fun! First it does all sorts of calculations by your age, weight, height .. my Wii Fit age is 44, my BMI is normal (I knew that). Then the Wii helps you pick a goal .. mine suggested a BMI of 22 which would require me to loose 10 or 11 lbs (i forgot already, but my BMI was only 23.something) .. I would be happy to lose that! Wii Fit is alot like brain age, where it suggests you train every day and your ‘fit age’ will improve. The first tests and the first yoga poses I did .. the system told me I had excellent posture and balance. Then I did the tree pose, which I suck at normally, and yeah .. I was terrible. I was a little disappointed the system didnt recommend short cuts, like putting your foot to your calf rather then your thigh muscle to start out .. which is the way I did it .. and I still sucked
I went on to play the balance games, where I scored ‘unbalanced’ every time, The aerobics exercises were fun, especially hoola hoop which i’m proud to say I finally got the hang of. The first time I did it, i let the hoop fall .. and they let you know loud and clear that YOU FAILED.
I like how it tracks your ‘fit minutes’ rather then you guessing how much time you exercised by the amount of time you’re standing infront of the TV. I played Wii Fit for 53 minutes today (according to the wii) and I banked up 26 fit minutes. I’d like to try to start around 30 minutes daily, but today I didn’t change out of my jeans, so I didn’t really do any strength training or extra aerobics.
The best part of wii fit for me right now? Is that your mii’s workout with you. This summer I brought my Wii to Hive and a bunch of my friends made their own mii’s. So .. when I did step aerobics, Jason was on my left and Angelle was on my right. When I was jogging, Nikki & Jason happened to pass me running together, then my dad went by, a few mii’s I recognized were along the way cheering me on. Eventually I passed Big Tranny and felt so proud
Anyways .. its almost like I’m exercising with my friends, and what could be better then that.
