You probably want to know more about the Wii Fit than the fact that TW tried to kill us getting to the UPS to accept delivery and that she sniffed it and that I laughed my ass off during her first run through of the various exercises. Since TW is Wii Fitting again right now, I figured this would be a good time for a bigger post on the topic. I had videos that were significantly more amusing than the ones I have up on youtube right now. But, I was an idiot and deleted them from the Flip before I actually uploaded them. The videos that came later, not quite as funny because we knew more about what to DO. Oh well.
Anyway, the Wii Fit – fun and funny also it makes you sweat. And, it’s obviously flawed since it suggests TW is more “fit” than I am. But then again, she barely MOVES unless she’s falling off of the thing so maybe it’s not the Wii Fit’s fault? It does indicate Michelle is more fit than both of us, so it’s accurate in that respect.
In the beginning, when choosing a trainer. I insisted she choose the female. Obviously. Duh. And as soon as the chick opened her mouth, TW started to giggle and I started to laugh and I said “OMG She sounds like Anne Pearce Ornish” and I’m listening to the trainer’s voice now, and she STILL sounds like Anne Pearce Ornish. I find it hard to focus when listening to Anne Pearce Ornish and I don’t even want to think about what TW is thinking while listening to Anne Pearce Ornish….
That push up thing, damn. I was impressed with my six repetitions even if I did do “girl” push ups.
The tree – I can do that for hours, but when it comes to standing ON the Wii Fit and doing it, something goes wrong. I blame the texture of the Wii Fit. Or maybe the little thing that tells you whether you’re keeping your balance or maybe the blue circle trying to force me to breathe on command. Whatever.
Michelle is awesome at the Step Dancing thing. TW is awesome at hula hoop.
TW wants to take the darn thing with us to Miami this weekend. Umm no. I don’t think I want Anne Pearce Ornish in my hotel room.
For those of you who do not know what I’m talking about… re Anne Pearce Ornish, check out her align your breath video – the one I was really thinking about is on the DVD in Ornish’s new book but this is a good example.
Now I’m going to fold some laundry and turn on some music to block out the Wii Fit trainer. Sheesh
ok – now I REALLY can’t wait to get this one. I didn’t know there was hulahoop mode!
Girl push ups??
Come on, you can do better than that!
😉
So is the Wii Fit worth it? We are thinking about getting one. I figure it’s the only way I’ll work out on my own, other than hockey, softball and daily dog walking. Sounds bad doesn’t it, I’ll work out as long as it’s to a video game or something that indulges my competetive nature.
The Fit sounds awesome. I want it badly, and your review (and accompanying video) only makes me want it more.
It looks intriguing, but if people are going to make fun of you when you do it, well, forget it! 😉
Many, many people who come from the alternative medicine traditions talk in this careful, sing-songy, precise kind of way. I knew what her voice would sound like before I heard it.
I want to get WiiFit. I enjoyed the regular Wii. Just one more arsenal to use when I don’t want to or can’t walk or face the exercise DVDs (who am I kidding – I’ve got videos, some dating back to the Jane Fonda days).
Thanks for sharing!
