The Easter Bunny brought us a Wii Fit for Easter. What a good bunny! Once it was hooked up that glorious Sunday morning, it was on ALL day. A good time was had by all.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Wii Fit, there are four sections: yoga, strength, aerobics and balance games. Within each section, there are exercises that help you achieve your fit goals. The more time you spend on the Wii Fit and each exercise, it unlocks additional exercises and more advance moves and/or additional repetitions. It will weigh you; tell you your BMI and what your Wii Fit age is. It will also let you know if you are too shaky during a particular move and encourage you to continue to practice to get better. It also ranks you from beginner/couch potato to professional/body builder.
The kids spend most of their time on games. I primarily focus on yoga and strength. However, they will occasionally check out a different section. I also enjoy doing the games. It is a fun way to exercise.
Andy has a new favorite exercise. It is the push-up/side plank strength exercise. He says, “Mom, this one is easy peasy.” Obviously it must be for him because his score is 100 points. I believe that puts him at the body builder level. I, on the other hand, barely scores 30 points on this particular exercise, definitely putting me on couch potato status.
I know that females have a weaker upper body. I also kick butt when it comes to the lower body exercises. BUT to have that big of a difference, SHEESH! I think I just found my motivation to work my upper body. Is it wrong to be in competition with your six-year-old son?!! Not if it makes you stronger.
