Ugh...

Haven't actually played Wii Fit in a few days.  Oh, sure, I weighed myself yesterday (down 0.4 lbs from about three days ago), but I didn't do any exercises.

I'm quite glad to have unlocked some of the aerobics exercises, though it could do with more of 'em.  Still got the last one to go.  I've been horribly tired lately.  Last night my back was being excessively unreasonable (re: giving me actual fucking pain for no reason) as well.  Maybe tonight.  We'll see.  My heel's bugging me today, for some reason (I can't stand on it without it hurting... blurgh).  I will play it a few times this week, however.  I'll hate myself if I go more than a week without playing.

Oh, and sinic: no, it doesn't.  The only thing it keeps track of, after exercising, is how long you've been playing for.  The longer you play, the more you unlock.  It all unlocks in a set order, however, so there's no choosing which activities you want to unlock first.  I still haven't done any of the strength-training yet.

Which I should.  I tried a few push-ups on my own the other day.  It's sad, really: I wasn't even able to do 10.

I adore Wii Fit. In addition to the exercises, it allows you to set weigh loss goals and has some amusing banter when you first log in some days.

The exercises use a wide variety of muscles. As you unlock each thing, you have more options as far as what exercises you want to focus on. I found it easy to play for an hour or more each day without realizing I'd been playing that long. Of course, a week of playing an average of an hour a day made me stupid sore....and I had the hardest time figuring out exactly what exercises cause the soreness.

I'm a fan of the aerobic exercises the most. Some of the strength exercises are just mean. Hahaha. I do wish it gave you some sort of calorie count. I think that's the only thing it's really missing.

I go to the gym on a regular basis. Wii Fit creatively works a lot of smaller muscles that I definitely miss at the gym, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten sore. I have noticed myself adjusting my center of balance through the day consciously now, since I know where it is supposed to be, and I think that possibly because of that my feet and back haven't been hurting nearly as much. So I think it's definitely helping my posture and balance. If you aren't a hard core gym addict, I think this is a good option. It's fun, you can pretty much choose your intensity...and activities like Free Step let you use the remote to keep a beat while stepping and watching regular TV, instead of only interacting with the game, which is also really cool.

I'm a fan.

I camped out Best Buy (well, not really camped out; I asked when they were getting more and showed up a bit before they opened to get in line) and got mine Sunday. It's not impossible to get; it took them about 30 minutes to sell out.



I LOVE IT.

It was still hot and humid, but not so bad. I foresee myself taking many cool showers this summer...

It requires some effort to get, and $90. What you get is a lurvely product with fitness, balance, and flexibility exercises, and tracking tools for your own use. AND IT IS CUTE.

Go to www.wiifit.com and just look at some of the videos. If your schedule clears up enough that you can come over some time you can check ours out, also.

Its the American Way to be eye deep in debt you can't pay off.

On Monday I get off the bus back from Glastonbury and on my way from the bus station to the train station I'm buying Brawl. This goes without saying. I'll probably pick up Okami and Pro Evo at some point in the summer.

After that, though... what are we looking at? I don't know of anything big for the second half of the year. Anything to fill in the gap until GH: World Tour, or am I going back to the PC?

Oh em gee, Harvest Moon!
