Last weekend I played Wii for the first time ever and after an hour my arm was hurting, my calves were cramping, and my forehead was getting sweaty… since when are video games are supposed to be tiring? Usually only my thumbs are sore the next day after a nice gaming session but not my legs, arms and back.
I felt hoaxed into thinking I was playing a video game when in fact I was working out. It reminded me of one time my mom told me to try a hot pepper with my food only to have me eat all my vegetables when my mouth was on fire, what, didn’t you mom ever do that? Well then take notes for Mexican parenting 101.
So apparently there’s a lot of enthusiasts of this masochist gaming experience so I researched a little about it and found out that Wii is coming up with a line of games designed for fitness, so this might be something worth to follow up closely and try it, changes the whole concept of working out every day!
There’s a lot people who are already disciples of the Wii fitness program or the Wii Diet, but I anticipate the deception will increase even more when they release Wii Fit in the US next month where you can do from Yoga to balancing exercises. Also I found out that a Wii Exercise is in the works which will further develop the fitness experience. Check out the video preview, playing with your Wii Wii is now fun and healthy!

I can relate to you about playing the Wii, we bought our kids one for Christmas and I think I was just as excited as them. The first time I tried it I was hooked on the bowling, but I admit the next few days thereafter, I was so sore! I was sore in places I didnt know existed! So yes, I definitely agree with the Wii being good exercise, not to mention fun as well! Hey maybe some day all of us TINADs can get together at my house and have a bowling tournament! We can all exercise and have fun together!
