Last time I blogged on here, I mentioned my vacation-oriented Food Court diet disgust and the intense need to buy a Wii Fit. After that went up I went poking online and found a pretty good deal on the Wii Fit setup and ordered it immediately.
A few days later it came in (quick shopping!) and I set it up immediately. I fully expected the game to make fun of my larger American size. I am, after all, a large American. The game ended up being surprisingly polite about the whole thing though and set my account up and explained the functions of the game.
Since then, I have managed to log onto it each day (Nine days and counting!) and do the weigh-in and some workout routines. There are plenty of exercise programs in it including yoga, strength training, full on workouts, and more. It’s a pretty handy thing with the weigh-ins, calorie burning counter, and the ability to add up actual workout time, not just time I’ve been logged into the game.
I managed to unlock two advanced modes on the Island Biking game so far and ‘biked’ 5 miles this morning. That’s solid movement/workout time so… go me!
