Fun exercise? What? The kids received a Wii Fit from their great grandparents this Christmas, and I’m the one clocking the most time on it. It is a blast. I do a little yoga and strength training to warm up. Then I get some cardio going for at least 30 minutes a day. I’m working hard, but it really is fun. This discovery came just in time, because I had recently and tragically fallen out of love with my treadmill. \u00a0That is a bad, bad thing during an Oregon winter. Outside exercise, my preference, isn’t always possible or enjoyable this time of year. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!<\/p>\n
The Wii Fit balance board is a fascinating bit of technology, but what’s great is how well thought out it is. It’s motivational. I like that it checks up on me and nags me if I’ve skipped a day \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0And, I love the way it charts my progress. Right now, I’m in the “overweight” BMI category and am setting goals to get to a healthy BMI. I think between this, getting outside when possible, and Weight Watchers online, I will absolutely get to my goal by this Spring. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Lastly, it’s a good workout, but it’s just plain fun as well. I get the belly laughs watching friends get clocked by virtual shoes and panda heads during the soccer heading game. And I almost wet my pants watching my girlfriend’s husband do the hula hoop. He could really rotate those hips!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
