Wii Fit

Posted on | January 2, 2010 | No Comments

Who knew that there would be all these accessories with your video game consoles these days! I remember Pacman, Frogger, and Burger Time. I remember when super mario brothers was cutting edge technology!

Now, take a second and consider video games have come full circle. It used to be that video games were a sign of inactivity and sluggish lifestyles (and yes, there’s still quite a bit of that). I have to give the Nintendo Wii a lot of credit. I LOVE Wii Fit. It’s an awesome concept. Have fun while working out! Why not? Isn’t that the whole point???  If you’re going to play video games, that’s the way to do it.

I remember being on cruise with the Navy and I made a rule with myself. I could play Halo II as long as I was riding the stationary bike. I brought a small stationary bike that fit in my stateroom and the miles I put on that thing. I’d play and ride for 2-3 hours at a time. I got in GREAT aerobic workouts because I wasn’t on a timeline, I want forced to stare at a wall and ride while I watched the seconds tick away until I could stop. 

Have fun and work out. Nice job to Nintendo for coming up with Wii Fit. Perfect for a New Years resolution that will last. You’ll just have to “assemble” the accessories to the Wii and start assembling your physique!
