Wii Are the World
Christmas has arrived early this year in the JOpinionated household! A lovely new Wii and Wii Fit were delivered on Hanukkah Harry's handlebars (my version of a sled w/reindeer), even though that holiday doesn't begin for a few weeks either.
We've named the new system Wiibert. She is interactive and far cheaper than a gym membership...although I strongly disagree with her assessment of my body mass index. So far I am enjoying the balance, strengthening and yoga exercises, and my very competitive better half is mastering all sports games and just about everything else.
I made a deal with the Wii (what? she's my personal trainer) - I will work out one time for every blog entry I post from here on out, alternating between the couch and the balance board. That sounds fair, right?
By the way, if you have any recommendations for games, please let me know!
Yay for the Wii!! It is so much fun!
I would recommend Wii Sports for certain. Super Smash Brothers is fun to play with other people because you just fight & do silly things. Of course...if you are into golf, Tiger Woods is awesome.

The Wii Fit is amazing... unlock all the games you can... so much fun. Wifey has mastered the hula-hoop and I can't even come close...
I mostly do the yoga post run, but have neglected it for some time.
I also disagree with my BMI... and why is the Wii always judging me...

I got one for my kids for Hanukkah and am waiting patiently to use it. Now I'm worried about what my BMI will be. Please pass on any tips you get on other fun games. A friend told me to rent the games from Blockbuster to try them out to see which you want to buy. I was also told that Netflix now has Wii games as well.

Oh no, you two have been practicing?! We'd better get on the ball if we're going to have a Wii throwdown at Christmas. I have a feeling I will have a poor showing!

Wii Fit measures and maintains your weight and BMI (Body Mass Index, a measure of over/under weight). Just standing on it every morning and seeing how your weight and BMI change already stimulates you to work on this. The added goals to set and encouragements of the program help further. I already lost some kilo’s the last three weeks
