Wii Have Too Much Fun
November 8th, 2009 by Cheryl
Lack of bloggery today is at least in part due to Kevin and I playing with the Wii. Bowling and tennis are great fun, even though we are not that good. Baseball seemed a bit random, which is doubtless how I managed to win. The golf game did not seem at all natural. What we really need now is a bigger living room, because playing tennis together in a confined space is a bit difficult.
But it is fun, and exercise.
Next up, the Wii Fit thing with the exercise mat.

Your blog needs a Like button. But isn’t the Wii a wonderful thing? It’s the only way Moose moves around too.
I suppose it depends what sort of exercise you want. The biggest problem I found with the Wii Fit was having to stop between each exercise, choose the next one I wanted to do and listen to the explanation before starting. It meant that it took upwards of an hour to do half an hour’s worth of exercise. I found the Wii Fitness Coach to be much better for straightforward exercise – I now use the balance board as a step board
Colette:
Point taken. Wii Fit is probably not a good replacement for my Pilates routine. However, it is a good monitoring/feedback system, and it may provide useful suggestions for other types of exercise – e.g. the balance control which I am totally awful at. Also the various Wii sports games provide excuses for fun exercise that Kevin and I would never do if they required things like joining a tennis club.
Thanks for the tip on the Fitness Coach. I’ll look into that.
