Telling ourselves that it would be great exercise, we broke down and bought a Wii........that's right, WE now own a Wii! What we didn't tell ourselves was how utterly ridiculous we would feel trying to play the darn thing! I mean, I can't even coordinate swinging my arm and releasing a button at the same time, and my sweet hubby isn't much better! Admittedly, the only game he and I have even attempted was bowling but so far, things aren't looking so good! We are definitely challenged in the eye-hand coordination area where the Wii is concerned. Do you think our age could possibly have anything to do with it?
Can't wait 'til we try out the Wii Fit, but the image in my head sure isn't pretty! I want to tackle the Yoga; however, I suspect that the yoga will tackle me! Truthfully, we are hopeful that it will not only be a fun way for us to get some exercise, it will be therapeutic for Jon as well. I truly believe that the movement, coordination, and stimulation he can get will be an overall benefit and won't feel so much like a therapy session. What I think I want most of all is for the family to have fun doing it together!

Welcome to the World of Wii!! :)
This will come as no surprise to you, I'm sure, but Mickey stood in line EARLY on the very first morning the Wii went on sale. We were the first people we knew to own one. Since then, so many people we know have gotten them and everyone loves it. Y'all will have so much fun with it! Around here, we love Dr. Mario (you can download it) and also the various versions of Guitar Hero. This is in addition to the sports, of course.
Enjoy it!!
Oh and I haven't tackled Wii Fit yet. Maybe you and I should both do it and encourage one another. ;)
You are right.....that comes as NO surprise to me! Ha! OF COURSE Mickey stood in line to get one!! We created our Mii's yesterday--so fun! And I'm all for tackling the Wii Fit and encouraging each other; I need all the encouragement I can get. Now I just need to open the box!
Wii Fit intimidates me because it tracks statistics. I don't want it telling me when I have overindulged on Easter candy. ;)
