Wii Fit

I started to run about 4 months, or so, ago thanks to my friend Jessica. She sort of tricked me. She called and invited me to go for a 'walk'. After a few laps she says lets run just to that marker up ahead. I tried to tell her I don't run unless there is an emergency and I don't see an emergency so no. Well she talked me into it. Then the next day she called and said hey do you want to 'walk' again. When I showed up she says "OK this is what we are going to do. I have a running plan for us." I was speechless. Reluctantly I started running and now I find myself highly addicted to it. I actually crave running if you can imagine that. I am not fast but I can now run about 2 miles. But I sometime want to work out and don't feel like going to the gym, mostly because I don't want to drive in the weather, and the thought of an exercise video sound boring. So I got this bright idea that the Wii Fit would be fun. I asked a few people who own it to see what they thought and all of them recommended it. So after a week and a half of trying to locate one Jeremy found one at Best Buy and brought it home to me. There are several exercise categories such as Aerobic, Strength, Yoga, Balance. Then within the categories there are appropriate exercises. I tried the strength training the first night. I was wondering how the heck a video game was going to help me out with strength. Not only did it just about kick my butt, but it could tell when I didn't do the lunges correctly and now that I have done them a couple of time it has upped the amount I am supposed to do. I am so sore in my tummy muscles, thigh muscles, and back muscles. Now there isn't any arm stuff yet. I am hoping there will be soon. As you exercise you earn points for every minute you do and it unlocks new exercises. It is fun and exercise. But I still go to the gym as often as I can I just added the Wii Fit to my work out.
