Wii Fit....Anyone?
I was shopping this afternoon when I came across THIS.... it was either Fit or Fitness.. (whats the difference?)
I know I sound like a small child when I say
I REALLY REALLY want this... for the kids (of course...)
The kids would F R E A K O U T... because we are pretty much against video games... They would NEVER in a million years think we would get one...
How fun to wake up Christmas morning & watch mommy do pilates? I mean, open THEIR new WII... (its even fun to say the name.... WIIIII isn't it?)
Now comes the fun part...trying to talk Bjørn into it. He has his heart set on skiis for the family this year...
Had they been downhill skiis I would be all for it... but he want's to do the
cross (YAWN) country skiis... OK I have never been cross crountry skiiing, but it seems like an awful lot of hard work... for what?
I thought I had read on someone's blog that they had dropped a lot of weight & got into really good shape with the Wii... anyone? ..... Hello?

Go with the Wii. Your children will worship you and after a month of working out with video games so will your husband! :p
Yes, my hubby is down 32 pounds!! I'm down 13. All it takes is to see your little Mii show up, all round and squatty and oh so cute, to motivate.
It's very cool. My 6-year-old loves it. My 2-year-old tries to do it. Totally worth every penny.
But your blogging time will go way down - warning: the Wii is just about as addictive.
Em
3) I haven't lost any weight with my wii, though it really wasn't my goal, so who knows!
And they have done news pieces about having a wii in the nursing homes here. That they get them playing lots of things - because they can do it from their wheel chairs - and still get some exercise - work on coordination - that sort of thing.
I can't think of any other game system that could do that for you. Which is why we are getting it. And not an xbox.
I've heard so many good things about it!! :)
I loooovvveee it.
For the same reason anyone would use Wii Fit - to become fit ;-)
I kicked hubby's ass at bowling on the first try!! It's tons of fun...
Once you get the Wii Fit board thingy - you can then buy Wii Family Ski.. this allows you to practise snowboarding, slalom, downhill skiing and is also a lot of fun!
Cross country skiing in GREAT!! You've got to give it a try! It's a really good workout, and as long as you do it somewhere flat, it's fairly easy (do NOT try in uphill...) You get to be outside in the snow and sun and have a snow picnic with hot chocolate.. it's just lovely!
I played Wii tennis at my SIL's house. The rest is history. I bought it for ME. My 13 year old thinks it's for him. It's like a ball rolling downhill. Now we have Guitar Hero World Tour. We spend hours? playing together instead of watching TV. I was supposed to get Wii Fit first but it's been too hard to find. We think the snowboarding game would be fun. I guess I'm hooked! But it's better than sitting by myself in front of my computer or watching reruns of King of Queens.
PS. Family skiing? Our favorite pasttime. No Disney for us. When we go away, we love to ski/snowboard! So How long have you lived in Norway?? Is this your husband's birthplace?
Ha det!
We got a Wii this past spring, then in May I bought the Wii Fit for hubby as a bday gift. He has been more apt to workout on it than I am... but we all love it. We've got a few fun games, our kids like playing it... its totally worth it!
