I had to run to the store yesterday for a few things. I was walking by the electronics department and decided to take a peek at the wii section to get ideas for Christmas gifts. Imagine my surprise when I saw they had not one but two wii fit! I thought about it for about three minutes, then bought one.
My family is totally into wii. It's fun, but I have too much other stuff to do. Still I thought the wii fit might be just what we need.
First, the rain will be here soon so outdoor play time will be at a premium.
Second, with hubby's travel schedule it's harder for me to get to my Crossfit sessions or even running with no one to watch the kidlets so I thought this might be good for me during those times.
Third, I want hubby to workout even with his blown out knee soon to be operated on.
Hubby raised a dubious brow when he saw the box. The kidlets jumped up and down with glee.
Tonight, however, hubby is a total wii fit convert. The five of us created our own mii character and did the basic fitness testing. We've set weight loss goals too! Well, not the kids, but hubby and me.
I have to boast a little, too. When it came time for the balance check, I amazed my family with my near perfect center of balance. Even the wii said it was incredible. Hubby just stared at me, looking both amazed and dumbfounded. I don't know why he was so surprised. I do climb quite a bit, even if it's mainly indoors. I'd think a person's center of balance would improve from climbing, wouldn't you?
Anyway, the wii fit should be fun. I think it'll be a nice compliment to my Crossfit routines, too!
So have you been working out lately?
