Wii Fit

Wii Fit is a kick in the pants (and will give you sore calves and hips, but in a good way.)

We got ours a week ago, and it has been a lot of fun. The first thing I tried was the hula hoop. You stand on the balance board and wiggle your hips around to make the hula hoop on the TV move around. Then you lean over to catch other hula hoops thrown to you. The goal is to get as many rotations as possible. The faster you spin, the more rotations you get and the better workout as well.

I have been trying to emphasize the strength exercises, but I am a little disappointed. Most are very good at toning muscles, but only a few are good at core muscle strength building.

I would solidly recommend this to anyone who is a couch potato. Just remember, like any exercise program, it does no good if you don't do it. Keep at it every day.
