On Sunday, my husband and I went and visited our friends to check out their Wii. I’ve seen the commercials, it looked fun. And my friend who is a bit plump like I am has really toned up and lost inches playing it. Anything that can motivate me to workout and be fun…I’m there.
So we tried out a bunch of the games, I probably worked out for a good 1/2 hour doing stuff like tennis, golf, bowling, boxing and inline skating.
Well I can’t move I’m so stiff, lol. We drove into Vegas yesterday and bought our own Wii sports, that has the simple sports game. That took up so much time, we didn’t work out yesterday, so by today, I’m REALLY sore.
So I start on the tennis, and do best 3 out of 5. (I lost) Then I did 3 rounds of boxing. (I knocked the guy out, whoo hoo). Then I took the Wii fitness test. Geeze, my Wii age is 54, just over 7 years what I actually am. (I’ll be 48 in August). Of course, I did that after all that other stuff…next time I’ll do that first.
That is probably pretty accurate. I’m a bit out of shape for my age, but not bad. And working on getting in better shape. I can walk for an hour without any problems, but I haven’t worked my upper body out in a long time. It is absolutely amazing how holding two remotes and moving can work you out as well as it does.
So I’m keeping up the work. This afternoon, I’m challenging my hubby to tennis. What fun that both of us, who can’t play real tennis because of knee issues, can play Wii tennis in the comfort of our cool home and not in the hot desert sun. I see long soaks and stiff muscles coming up tomorrow.
