I am the world's laziest person and I have always hated exercise but the Wii Fit has changed all of that! I bought it at Christmas and at first just played about with the Wii Fit plus games, then I made a little stretching routine, then I set myself targets for burning calories and then...well, lets just say I bought Ea Active and More Active off ebay and in two months I've gone from being a couch potato to someone who exercises every day (a stretch and muscle routine on the Wii Fit plus in the morning and either cardio boxing or step routine (I can now do the intermediate 30 min without a break or wishing I was dead so I could stop the routine early!)in the evening. I am going to start the 6 week challenge soon.
I got hooked on the fun part of the Wii Fit Plus and now look at my 30 mins in the evening of sweatiness and short breath as my treat for being good during the day - me! the person who would drive the car to the newsagents to get the Saturday paper rather than walk for 10 mins! I just can't believe it.
The only drawback is you need to use a legstrap for the EA games which doesn't always stay in place but I have solved that problem by replacing the strap with a thigh support I bought from Aldis for £2.99. I caught a reflection of myself in the french windows the other day and thought 'hmmm, with that leg strap you look a little like Lara Croft - although a very overweight, extremely sweaty, red faced and middle-aged version!". Although my son told me I looked more like a very overweight, extremely sweaty, red faced, middle-aged possibly transvestite version!
I will be taking revenge for that remark very soon...
