SO.. Tony surprised me the other day and bought me (us) a wii console, which I have wanted for aaages. Just the basic unit that comes with the wiisports game and it’s a lot of fun… and active! Both our right arms are on the achy side now. Might have to consider changing hands a few times 
Anywho, the wiifit phenomena has intrigued me. Gimmick or actually useful in getting fitter and some weight off. Anyone who knows me, also knows I have serious weight problems due to several factors including a badforme(tm) food habit. I also don’t have much confidence so find it very hard to go to a gym or well, be out of the house around people (they are scary!).
Tony surprised me (that’s getting to be a habit there dear!) again and had rung round various places to see if anyone had the wiifit in stock and dispatched me to ToysRus as they had just gotten a delivery. That was a surreal experience in itself but I digress.
Got it home, set it up and did 30 minutes of exercises without my mind realising it (my body is another story!) and it was… HYSTERICAL. I haven’t done 30 minutes of intense exercising in a loooong time and it was neither boring nor tedious.. just FUN. I also know now just how bad my balance is
Time will tell if it really does improve my level of fitness but any exercise at all coupled with my diet has to be a good thing. And above all, anything that can make me laugh until I cry HAS to be good
Wiiiii
